While game six is only a must-win for the team down a game, it would behoove the Sharks to avoid a Game Seven because of the dreaded "anything can happen" scenario. Maintaining the level of play exhibited in the past game and two-thirds would go a long way toward guaranteeing this Tuesday is a day of rest.
Depending on how assorted players are feeling, there is some talk that Ron Wilson will employ a traditional 12-6 personnel deployment rather than the 11-7 used the past couple of games. Personally, I hope not; the constantly changing lines have given Calgary quite the headache.
Okay, let's drop the puck.

My PoG prediction......
Devin Setoguchi!!! He is playing in his home province and will not have the jitters he had during the first 2 games in Calgary. Time To Extinguish the Flames!!
OMG TWO GREAT SAVES BY NABBY!!!
We have to weather the early storm.......
Calgary is getting incredible chances and hitting everything
OMG OMG OMG ....
Flames playing 7 defensemen.......
Looks like Ron Wilson is having his affect in the coaching game. Calgary is changing their game plan and that feeds into Ron Wilson's plan of getting the other team to play to the Sharks.
SETOGUCHI!!!
Makes a great steal and almost sets up a perfect goal. SOOOOOOOOO CLOSE!!!!
The Sharks are getting thouroughly outplayed
half way through the first. Luckily, Nabby came to play tonight.
well 8:00 mins into the first at least
(12:41 1st) Hoo boy...
... Sharks need to settle down and settle things down. Puck handling in their own end has got to improve.
THE SHARKS CANNOT CLEAR!!!!
PICKLES!!!! WHAT A PLAY TO BREAK UP THE 3 on 1!!!
I think the Sharks will settle down....
They will get that one back eventually, but they need to relax and go start hitting people
There we go
The Sharks are starting to bring a little pressure. Lets see if we can get that goal back in the last 5 mins of the 1st.
(5:00 1st) What is with Thornton tonight?
Constantly turning over the puck, not making plays... man.
Squeezing his stick
Lucky that is not a PS....
but good penalty if they can kill this PP.
Wow TY Nabby finally covers with 5 secs left
on the PP
Sharks need to survive this first period......
they are all on shaky legs falling and stumbling, If they would just start hitting the Flames they would slow down a little and the Sharks could take advantage.
Thornton loses another faceoff.....
it 9-2 calgary on the faceoffs
Whew...
... sometimes it's far better to be lucky than good, such as the case with Iginla missing the net with a redirect off of Nabakov.
Time to regroup and start playing hockey, gentlemen.
(14:13 2nd) What the...
... tarnation is wrong with the Sharks tonight? They can't handle the puck, they're not making plays, they're being outworked and outmuscled and outhustled... why?
I cant explain it.....
they just arent ready to play. In these kind of situations, I look to the coach and put the blame on him.
Lazy analysis
It's Wilson's fault that Thornton, Campbell, and Michalek all forgot how to skate, control the puck, pass, and shoot?
Thorton looks like he's sleeping
I don't know if he is sick or something but he's playing like he wants to be benched.

This is depressing......
(2:48 2nd) Picking up a bit
SJ is beginning to get a back and forth game going. Forechecking is picking up.
Nabby is saving the Sharks from total embarasment
(2:05 2nd) Someone get Michalek some...
... extra-caffinated coffee.
And have him wash it down with a can of Red Bull.
This one just may be over.....
We will know very quickly if the Sharks don;t come out to play in the 3rd
(End 2nd) Looks like I'll be...
... going to the Tank Tuesday.
The Sharks play in this game is inexcuseable.
(15:30 3rd) They're playing a little better...
... but are still in need of an in-game players only meeting. Responsibility and accountability is called for in a situation like this where so many are choking on the pressure bill.
(11:01 3rd) If the Sharks...
... would have played the first two periods like they're playing this one, they wouldn't be in the predicament they presently face.
shots on goal
they are actually getting good looks...but nothing getting thru
