[Open Thread] Western Conference SF Game Six: San Jose Sharks at Dallas Stars

(Stars lead series 3-2)

It's now or never / do or die / there's no tomorrow / make or break time.  Again.  For the third game in a row.

One of the oddities of this series has been that in the first five games, the team that has scored first has lost.  This could lead to the interesting scenario of both teams spending all three periods telling the other one "no, you shoot," which means a scoreless tie going into overtime.  I doubt it, but stranger things have happened.

Okay, let's drop the puck.

(17:18 1st) Not showing much so far

Too much loosey-goosey with the puck in their own end, no pressure on Turco.  SJ needs to get going.

Good grief. The way Carle stood there with the puck in front of his own net, not making any kind of play until Dallas stole the puck from him... unacceptable.

It's obvious nothing is going to be called tonight, so the Sharks need to play accordingly.

I know it's the playoffs & the refs let them play rather than call penalties, but with the Stars playing a ton more physical this series it seems the Sharks are getting shafted on non-calls.

I was thinking the same thing...

right, the Stars are more physical & subsequently have made more cross checks, interference, and other non-called penalties.  If this wasn't a playoff game I think the Sharks would have been on a PP for 20 minutes so far.  But since this is a playoff game & the refs are letting them play, the Sharks need to step up and make some more physical moves and put some Stars on their asses.

by drink409 on May 4, 2008 8:12 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Dallas is getting all the calls though cause the refs are trying to make up for game 5 and give Dallas the series.  TheSharks need to play Shark hockey.  That means Forecheck and cycle!

The Sharks kept up the pressure and finally scored early in the period. After that, they maintained the pressure for long stretches of the period.

Absolutely

On Nabby's first act of grand larceny, I think that puck was about 2 inches away from crossing the goal line.

Then later in the period, Turco says touche on a double pad stack robbery on Marleau.

Now, everybody catch their breath.

(End OT) How many times...

... can the Sharks tempt fate? Nabokov has made incredible save after incredible save. This can't keep happening. The Sharks need to find the resolve and will to win. They have to stop making stupid mistakes. Yes, they're exhausted. But so is Dallas, yet they're making plays. The Sharks aren't making enough of them. They need to regroup and refocus. If not, this series will be over.

One of the main reasons I miss the NHL on ESPN...

I also miss the late Tom Mees. Got his autograph once when he was doing a game at the Tank. Never thought it'd turn into such a melancholy souvenir.

Still, major props go your team's way for pushing the Stars to the limit to finally end this series. From you guy's standpoint, I'm sure you're all wonder what took them so long to engage in this series.

I don't know how much gas the Stars wil have left in the tank against Detroit, but it can't be very much.

At any rate, it's just past three where I'm at (yeah, I went to bed around 1:00 CDT and deserve all the ribbing for not being a trooper, etc.) so I'll just close with this was a fantastic and nerve racking series and I enjoyed reading your blog and interacting in a few of the gameday threads.
