Thorton channeling his inner McTavish playing that whole shift without his helmet.

How that Fabri shot went in I wil never know. That space under Jone's pads was no higher than the puck.

The weasel ties it.

And he gives them the go ahead goal.

Wow, he got all of that one!

Sharks outworked the Blues in the 3rd.

The Blues looked done and to give up an empty net wrap around goal to boot.

We all might watch, but I imagine the NHL is secretly crying about a potential Lightning v. Sharks Final.

Do you really think it matters if its the Blues or the Sharks ratings wise?

At this point there are no large markets left....really doesn't matter. As for the possibility of a Sharks/Lightning finals? As a fan, I think that would be a lot of fun to watch. Kucherov is a star. And Drouin is a keeper if I'm Stevie Y. Would love to see the Sharks battle for their first cup.

Lightning Sharks sounds like a movie SyFy would air.

Biggest difference would be moving it out to the West Coast, which could mean later start times, and losing some of the LEast coast audience.

But they haven't been doing that so far. They've been 8/9PM EST start times. Sucks for the west coast folks because that means the games are starting 5/6PM local time.


As a hockey fan, I'd love a Sharks/Lightning matchup. Two good non-flashy coaches, teams without some hyped megastar to be crammed down our throats, good young goalies and good stories for both teams. Drouin's chance at redemption, Jumbo Joe's payoff. Good stuff.

Those have all featured a west coast team though. They may not do it, but I wonder if they'd move games back to 7:00 ET so that they don't end late on the east coast.

If we can't have the Sharks, how about mutated sea bass?

Agreed, I think this would be a heck of a series. Maybe Stamkos makes an appearance in the SCF if Tampa gets there. I'd also like to see Joe Pavelski win the Conn Smythe and Tony Gallagher eat a huge plate of crow.

As things stand right now, I'd say that he and Kucherov have to be the respective favorites if we end up with a SJ/TB final.

I could see a strong case being made for Burns as well, depending on how he and Pavelski play in the final (assuming they get there).
