Sharks' Smith on Cupcake Loss, Six-Game Start and Power Play Bumper Role
At San Jose Sharks morning skate, Smith takes the loss in a team cupcake competition for the foundation in stride ("it is what it is") and gives a teammate's classic red velvet entry a thumbs up. Then it's hockey. He calls the Bruins a strong squad loaded with veteran winners and says he needs to find his stride six games in, playing his best when his legs are moving. He also covers his line's chance-heavy last game and his move to the bumper spot on the power play, where he says patience matters as much as speed.
