A Column: Looking at the San Jose Sharks Failure to Communicate
ShareThis
New Hockey Primetime: Y’know, what the title of the column is. A video breakdown of what’s going wrong for the Sharkulars in the d-zone. (Should be us soon friends! Until then…. Hockey Primetime).

I'm a hockey player turned writer. After playing for Alaska Anchorage in the WCHA (NCAA), I carried on with an NHL tryout (New York Islanders in 2007) before spending a couple seasons in the AHL/ECHL (last year was 2008-09). My father, Bob Bourne, won four Stanley Cups with the Islanders in the '80's, as did my fiancee's dad, Clark Gillies. I'm now the web editor for theScore's hockey blog "Backhand Shelf."
Watching the Sharks often throughout the year, those two plays are on par for Heatley’s usual defensive effort. Marleau is usually a lazy slug in the D zone as well (hence the -25 p/m at one point in the regular season).
