Not much time to write today between the food coma and ripping half-priced merchandise out of old ladies' hands.

Wednesday's game against the Blackhawks was a great effort up and down the roster, and the team looked as good as it should always look. With the West and the Pacific stacked the way they are right now, it will take several impressive winning streaks to separate the Sharks from the pack. How about we get one of those going right now?

The Sharks have  ton of road games coming up in the next few weeks, and the team needs to prove that it can win consistently away from home. This is the perfect time for the team to get rolling, keep scoring, and move up towards the top of the West where they belong.

Prediction: Sharks win 4-2, with goals from Clowe, Marleau, Nichol, and Setoguchi.
