GAme is on - ice looks terribly beat-up. Don’t they have Zambonis in San José?

They tried to get one there, but they didn’t know the way.

Yes, they have Zambonis. They have even have [fins on the top](http://i.imgur.com/4XTPSFh.jpg). I definitely saw zamboni tracks at the beginning of the third period. The outdoor games always have some ice problems, but that pales in comparison to the problem of the Sharks kinda sucking this year.

The question is, if they want to shake things up, who do The Sharks jump?

What I want to know is what happens when the Sharks take on the Jets?

Maybe the plan this year is to just barely squeak into the playoffs, then go on a tear and win the Cup…instead of their usual strategy of playing brilliantly in the regular season then collapsing like a flan in a cupboard come playoff time.
