The SJSharks' culture is something a number of NHL teams can only dream of. SportsnetSpec has the story:
On Tuesday night in Winnipeg, just 24 hours after San Jose had rolled through Minnesota in a 3-0 road win, the Sharks outlasted a rested Jets club in a battle of Western titans., who epitomizes everything a leader should be, buried a two-on-one pass from Timo Meier with less than five seconds left in regulation to complete the 5-4 victory.
“It makes my job easy,” said head coach Peter DeBoer. “They established the culture there… It’s been over a decade, with Jumbo and Pavelski, and Vlasic, and Burnsie, and on and on. That culture was there when I got there. They hold each other accountable, so you’re not having to do that like you would with a young team on a daily basis.”
For years in San Jose, they’ve had something called Shooting Club, where players would go out 30-45 minutes before practice and hone their skills. Look at how good Marleau has been for the Maple Leafs dressing room? Well, where did that all come from?
