The San Jose Sharks, currently last in the Western Conference with a 15-37-9 record, exhibit a surprising level of competitiveness, with many of their losses being narrow defeats. Rookie center Will Smith highlights the importance of learning to close out games after leading in the third period. Despite the challenges and losses, Smith emphasizes the motivation to improve and build towards the future, especially with promising talent like himself and Macklin Celebrini intertwined in the team's development. Their pride in playing for the fans and the city fuels their determination during this rebuilding phase.
Losing at this rate is something Smith hadn't been accustomed to, but the young star takes great pride in being a pivotal piece in returning the Sharks to prominence.
Count how many games that we kind of let go in the third period when we've been up. So, it's been tough, but those are things we need to learn, how to finish out games.
