You want to talk about depth? Peter DeBoer is down.

After the San Jose Sharks' Game 2 Western Conference finals win - a 4-0 pasting of the St. Louis Blues - their coach said he's heard enough talk that his team isn't as deep as the opposition.

"Had a lot of questions in the last day about how much deeper St. Louis is," DeBoer said, according to CSN's Kevin Kurz. "I think our forward group answered that question (Tuesday)."

Aside from Brent Burns' two goals, Tommy Wingels opened the scoring with his second of the playoffs, while Dainius Zubrus tallied his first of the spring. Zubrus, the 37-year-old veteran, also assisted on Wingels' goal, recording his first multi-point game of the season.

Wingels and his teammates Joonas Donskoi (seven points in the playoffs), Chris Tierney (four points), and Melker Karlsson (three points) have played instrumental roles in the Sharks' run, DeBoer said before Game 2.
