Macklin Celebrini spoke after the Sharks' game at the Kings and didn't hide how the room feels: frustrated and unhappy with how the team is playing. He wouldn't share what was said in a players-only meeting. He agreed that the slump is on the players, not the coaches or the system, saying "to a man we just need to be better." He pointed to an early mistake that snowballed against a skilled Los Angeles team, admitted the good stretches are coming only in spurts, and said the group still believes in each other.
