Every year, the San Jose Sharks have the same expectations and every year, they always fall short of those expectations. The story remains the same, complete with criticisms. None experienced that more than Patrick Marleau, who led the team with 73 points, a relatively low total, and faced major criticism in the Detroit series. Joe Thornton wasn't far behind with 70 points, but also came out of playoff hiding, putting the team on his back until a hand injury limited his output in the Conference finals. Joe Pavelski was the third leading scorer on the team, which isn't too bad until you realize that Dany Heatley failed to show up this season. Pavelski is undoubtedly a fixture on the Sharks, and a breakthrough season next year is not out of the question.
