There is more to winning than just the players. Coaches, front office, and yes even the logo helps all of this.

Yup you just proved my point. Its the players they have that are causing it. They play great in the regular season because its not about heart. In the post season when it matters most Marleau and largely Jumbo the 2 stars dont play with any heart. look at Marleaus stats. That was why they stripped him of the C. Its part knowing how to win, part heart, and part skill at this time of the year. The Sharks stars dont have the key element heart and regardless of the crest it wont change. Its also why almost 50% of the team is knew this year and the second and third lines are the ones who are getting it done and keeping them in it.

After the Olympic break you are presented with the hottest team in the NHL and pretty much healthy roster. Another point about that roster is most of the core players came through our system, not through FA.

I dont recall saying they played poorly. I thought I said they were an average to slightly above average team now because the salary cap has taken its toll. This is the concept you cant seem to wrap your brain around. Whats funny is NHL analysts all said this would happen last year and they were right. Somehow you know more then them though. The injuries exposed the lack of depth to fill the gaps when people go down. Wings teams pre cap had much more depth of star power and would have kept rolling.

We will see about the wins
My comments are largely caused by the fans. They seem to not look at things objectively because the franchise has a great history. When shown logic they just keep chanting the same montra. The issue is many young wings fans have never known the bad Wings team so its difficult for them to grasp that it could happen.
The crazy thing is if 1-4 get eliminated the Wings would become my favorite to win. That would be painfull as humbleness seems missing from your posts. Stuff like your everyone says were the best and we have the best coach. The Series is tied 2 to 2. It seems after both wins now you have called the series. I just dont see those posts from anyone else in this thread much people display more humility.
