from David Pollak of Working the Corners at the Mercury News,

Here’s what else I heard when we talked about what needed to be done to get things on track or some of the problems that have been exposed in the first 24 games:

BRAD STUART

Those first seven games – lots of scoring, all victories in one way or the other — not a true indication of who the Sharks are, Stuart said.

“The way we have to win games isn’t the way we won games the first week and a half of the season. We have to be a team that wins games 3-2, 2-1. You have to know what kind of team you are and you have to play to it.”
