@sanjosesharks photo: Stanley Cup Playoff schedule for the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks for the 2018 first round

On the San Jose Sharks podcast with Len:

#1 The Sharks lost five of their last six games to close the regular season. They lost a big game to the Minnesota Wild 6-3 on Saturday night at SAP Center. The Sharks’ team captain Joe Pavelski said the team is trying to find it’s identity and they believe in their road game too.

#2 The loss dropped San Jose to third place in the Pacific after winning eight straight then went into a four-game losing streak the Sharks lost a key game to the Wild to close out the season. Pavelski said that the Wild were on them for most of the game.

#3 The first period for San Jose was not a banner moment, taking only three shots and giving up two goals to start the game.

#4 The Ducks and what San Jose will be up against going into Anaheim for the first two games of the first round.

#5 Any chance that San Jose can regain some of that old magic again similar to what they went through during their eight-game win streak.
