Matt's been struggling lately so the Sharks want him to go down for a few games and get his confidence back. I wish they could send down some other players who deserve it more like Bell or Cheechoo.
Well he better get back up there soon or the Sharks will be off my list of favorite teams...
Hah! I feel the same way, dg... Of course, the Sharks are bumped to my #3 team now that Conner's up with Dallas for a while.
I could't believe that when I first read your post since Carle has been awesome in the SJ line up.
Goon,
San Jose is a smart/well run organization. I suspect they know what they are doing...at least I hope so.
I am hoping Carle is back soon too, SJ is one of my teams since Boston Threw Joe Thornton under the bus. Maybe they just want him to get his confidence back up.
They announced during tonight's Shark game that he's been recalled. Hmmm. He hasn't played in Worcester since Sunday while the Sharks played two games mid-week. Smells like sending him down and keeping him down there all week was partially to save some Salary Cap $$. Tacky.
Interesting comment about the Salary Cap. We had heard some rumors of the Salary Cap being a factor. Pioneer Nation is glad to see him back with the Sharks.
