PrintSorry; alarm didn't go off.
The Sharks know what they need to do. So do the Flames. The question is which team will do what they need to do better.
Okay, let's drop the puck.

(15:57 1st) Okay, so they're pushing & shoving...
... after most every play. So what? They're not actually doing anything. Calgary's had the better by far of the scoring chances, and they're ahead 1-0.
Never mind...
... not thrilled with the way they're playing thus far.

Agreed
Calgary started early with the momentum. Seems like the Sharks have been able for keep the puck in the Flames end the last minute or so.. Need to keep the offensive push up

(8:19 1st) Too many long-distance bombs...
... they don't do anything, so why shoot like that? Drive the net; set up plays.
The last 2 goals...
from Sunday to today have occurred because we couldn't clear the puck. Sharks just did it again, half the team leaves the zone thinking it'll clear then it doesn't and we're off on D. Just looks sloppy.

lol at Jody's slash on Kip
really hope we don't get another 2min for that. But someone needs to step up and make a hit.

If they had gotten 2 minutes......
for the slash I would have rather he really hit the bastard
(End 1st) Zero on-ice communication
What, these guys all of a sudden don't know each other?
Ah well. It's only 1-0 thus far.
At least they came out head hunting.......
they were all over the place and went down by one, but they still sent a message that they are here to play some tough hockey and not back down.
Yes
Finally look like they are putting consistent offensive pressure on these damn flames...lets keep it up

Absolutely....
the Flames have had 4 shots, its just that one went in. If they can keep this going they should be able to regain control of the series.
Hey guys.....
Looks like the Sharks are going to at least regain some respect tonight, though the game is still in serious doubt. I'm just tired of the sharks getting punked, and its looking better tonight
(End 2nd) Great...
... you work all period to establish an edge, you tie things up... and then you allow a late goal. Why didn't Wilson call a time out to give his skaters on the ice, all of whom were exhausted but couldn't get off due to an icing, the chance to catch their breath?
we need this here!
been a good period so far
by drink409 on Apr 15, 2008 9:05 PM PDT up reply actions
They're getting chances...
... but they'd better convert at least one of them!
(How's that for stating the painfully obvious?)
(7.3 seconds 3rd) YAHOO!!!!!
The maddening beauty of hockey... last game, Douglas Murray played like he'd never been on a sheet of ice in his life.
Tonight, his drive creates the winning goal.
Great win
I think that goal is the momentum we needed in this series. I predict big things for Thursday & Sunday

Incredible
I havent been here since the beginning of the year but after tonight I need to post somewhere.
I think this game separates the sharks from last years team. After the Michalek hit in Edmonton they were finished. On Sunday the sharks seemed like they would suffer the same fate after the beating Marleau took, and the complete meltdown with a 3-0 lead.
Even tonight the Sharks seemed like they were trying too hard to show that they were "tough". Overplaying the body and getting skooled by Iginla in the first period. IMHO Shelley needed to take someone out right as the puck dropped.
The Sharks were the better team in the second and third tonight, and a marvelous goal by Cheechoo tied the game on an impossible angle.
Big Joe came through with 10 seconds left and now we are going back to San Jose all tied up at 2.
Its a new series baby!
GO SHARKS!!!!!!!!!!

I'd love to see Jody take someone down early....
in the next game to get the tank riled up!!! We've definitely gained momentum in the series and we need to keep it going on the ice next game...

My god.
I've bitten my fingernails to the nubs, I've dealt with the shakes all game long. And just when I go off and think we're done, YOU TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!
MY THREE STARS:
Cheechoo. THANK YOU. You played this entire game like it needed to be played. You stayed tough, you hit back, and you created extra opportunities.
Patrick Marleau. Your leadership was questioned all year long (even by the likes of me), AND FINALLY YOU SQUASH THOSE DOUBTS. You ARE a leader! THANK YOU.
Thorton. You haven't played very well this series. But that 3rd period showed us all why you're one of the best. Your work behind Calgary's net SAVED US. THANK YOU.
FINALLY WE SHOWED UP TO PLAY. WE DOMINATED THEM FOR TWO PERIODS. The score didn't show it, but we finally came out to play.
FINISH THEM, SAN JOSE. WIN ON THURSDAY. YOU CAN DO THIS.
