Hell, Sidney Crosby has scored more goals in this playoff season than Joe Thornton has in his entire playoff career! Shoot the freaking puck, Joe! The Penguins responded even with Detroit throwing Henrik Zetterberg all over Crosby. The rest of the team stepped up when everyone was worried about Crosby. So, with the team's heart being questioned, what do the Sharks do about their Captain? Marleau is one of the most talented guys in the league and during the regular season he is an amazing asset to have. He has had decent playoff performances, just not lately and now the Sharks have to look at Anaheim and what they did to them in the playoffs and expect that kind of treatment in the regular season. If every team stands pat (which they won't) I doubt the Sharks will win their division, they may not even make the top four. They are going to need players who will claw opponents to death and do the dirty work like Anaheim. Just take a look at how tired Detroit looked in the last few games of the Finals, they clearly were suffering a Ducks-induced hangover weeks after that series ended.
