Sharks say good bye to fellow GM, Have win over Blues.

The San Jose Sharks took on the St. Louis Blues on the evening that it was announced that their GM Gavin Gear would be stepping down from the helm of the Blues organization.

"It was definite a shock." Said Sharks GM Kurt Fulmore. "I was surprised to hear that he was stepping down. But that's the way life goes. We are sad to see him go and all here at the Sharks organization offer Gavin the best of luck in his future endeavours."

The Sharks came into this game on a one game winning streak after struggling for a few games. They had beat Edmonton 5-3 last night and were in town in St. Louis to take on the Blues.

The Blues team on the ice must also had been shocked with GM Gear's news of his stepping down. The Blues were up 3-1 on the Sharks. But close to the half way point of the 3rd period, the Sharks tied up the game in the span of 15 seconds to send the game to the extra frame. Kyle Okposo scored the game winner with his hat trick goal 57 seconds into overtime to give the Sharks another much needed win.

The Sharks head back home to play the Blues again tomorrow. They hope to see a better team out there but at the same time are hoping for the same result.
