Tonight's game was awesome. Another OT win for the Sharks. Sharks deserved the win, dominating for several stretches and leading the shot clock widely. Wings looked tired toward the end for some reason and took a couple late penalties, including a 4 minute high stick during OT. Pavel D. was the best wing, and probably the big Pavelski for the sharks.
Benn Ferriero got the OT winner in his first playoff game, on his 24th birthday! Nice!
Oh, and whoever emerges from this series may be tired, but they have the experience, the size, and the speed, and the talent, to shut down the Sedin's and get through Vancouver and whoever the East brings. Fear!  |
San Jose did deserve to win game #1 as they totally outplayed Detroit. You're right about the Red Wings looking old.
I don't think any of the teams really fear the Sharks, and I don't think the Sharks are afraid of any of the other teams. If they were afraid, then there would be no point of even playing in the post-season. I think that they respect each other, which they should. Taking a team lightly can end up costing you, like what almost happened to Vancouver in Round 1.
