*Vlassic injured - Out for the game
Sharks rolling with 4 D-men.

Thornton takes a dumb tripping penalty with 4:17 left in the 3rd supposedly to prove that he is actually at the game today because he has otherwise been invisible/useless.

Lots of pressure on the Flyers power play but the Sharks kill it.

The Sharks put on some good pressure toward the end of the 3rd but as time closes, the score is tied and we're going to OT.

 

[Mr. Teal]

Bloody hell Joe! You have the puck and no one between you and the goalie on a 4-3 OT power play and you pass the puck into traffic?! WTF is the matter with you? Get out. You make the worst decisions. We don't need you.

OT over. Shootout time.

 

[Mr. Teal]

Sharks win the shoot out! Way to go guys!

Brent Burns brings it home for SJ.

That's a "huge 2 points" to stay somewhat alive in the playoff race, mathematically. Good thing Thornton didn't have a chance in the SO, he would've tried to pass the puck. Almost time to turn W. Santa Clara St. into Stanley Cup Blvd. in Cliche-Ville.
