Sharp Scores 11th Goal

Last night, the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Edmonton Oilers 5-0. Jonathan Toews got a natural hat trick. Marty Turco recorded a shutout. And Patrick Sharp scored a shorthanded goal.

This was Sharp's 11th goal of the season. He is currently in 6th place among league goal scorers. He hasn't scored a goal in 8 games, though. It seems that whenever I start posting about a player's goals here--be it Sharp or Marian Hossa--they suddenly stop scoring. Perhaps I am jinxing them. If so, maybe I should start "Stamkos Watch 2010" so my 'Hawks can catch up.

Last time I posted about Sharp, he was on pace for a 74-goal season .We all knew that wouldn't happen. Now, he's on pace for a more-attainable 44-goal season. So, a 50-goal season might still be in reach for Sharp.
