S'ok. No one expects a clean sweep of 4 games in this series. It's gonna come down to game 6 or 7 for sure. Hard fought battles and two evenly matched teams. It's not Montreal and Boston haha...
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nabby with the shut out! His glove was amazing tonight! His first crazy glove save in the 1st period was SICK, and the second one in the 3rd was AMAZING! One of the best saves ive ever seen. Absolutly robbed, Owen Nolan. Sharks pwned.
You guys better get ready for Sunday night!

Let me be the first to congratulate you Tyler. That was a good game for you guys and with so many penalties tonight we just took ourselves out of it.
Kipper tried his best but there is only so much you can do. See you Sunday

And yes Kipper is a beast. One of my fav goalies, ever since he was on the Sharks ive liked him, and he has played terrific this series. Him and Nabby were both brought up by the same goalie coach Warren Strelow. Who sadly passed away two years ago. Great goalie coach, two great goalies!
Peace!

That was nuts! Goaltending last night was absolutely amazing at both ends! Props to Nabby getting those two with his glove in the 1st and 3rd, those were highlight reel saves. It's gonna be a good, hard fought series!!!

BTW, anyone catch the Montreal game earlier? Man, they totally PWNED the Bruins! The west I find was hard to predict this year with really good match ups, but the east, well I think it's more predictable. Montreal and Pittsburgh are pretty much shoe ins with the crappy form of the Sens right now and Boston having no luck against Montreal whatsoever. Washington-Philadelphia is a really good match up, but I picked the Caps now that they have a #1 goaltender in Huet. Also, NJ and NY, reminds me of the Flames and Sharks, great goaltending, gonna be a tight one...but I'm gonna have to say NY as they have better forwards.

Hmmm I saw the replay and it looked like it was deflected off of a skate...weird...I heard the announcers saying it might have been redirected on purpose with a Minny skate
All this talk about an irrelevant series.
Go Wings!

Wings should do well as they progress through the playoffs. They will take care of Nashville without a problem. Unfortunately their Achilles heel is Hasek, he still sprawls around like hes having a seizure, but gets the job done...
