Ken Hitchcock really does know how to get the most out of teams with marginal talent levels.

There will always be a coaching job out there for him somewhere as long as he wants to coach.

Indeed. How can we clone him (or Tippett)?

Will need someone to replace McLellan next year...

The Blues have definitely bought into Hitch's system, and they have a great tandem in goal. Once Vancouver is eliminated, they'll have home ice until they reach the Cup finals (if they make it that far).

The Sharks have quit, in a playoff game.

I must say I'm impressed by the team speed of the Blues, very mobile defense and the forwards can scoot as well...

Yeah, it's sad.

I hope someone calls them out for it. It's way too obvious tonight. They just completely shut it down and were just going through the motions halfway through the game.

Dat Sharks PK

Darren Pang says Colin plays the game the White way...

Couture makes it 4-3 with 16 seconds left...

 

[li0lsh]

False hope...

 

[dash]

Yup, a classic case of too little too late.

 

[li0lsh]

Wasn't sj second to last, only to Columbus in the PK?

 

[Slimpikins]

Sharks PK is sure making the Blues PP look better than the bottom feeder it was during the season.

 

[Slimpikins]

I sold St Louis a little short, they were middle of the pack PP this season (19th).

If San Jose wins the next game, it's still a series.

Singular or plural?

sorry sharks fans.. tough to watch

was it the elevation of my seats or was dan boyle atrocious tonight? christ he had the puck for 90% of the time the sharks had the puck and all he did was skate around in circles and then turn the puck over

also a few thinks i thought were interesting.. the chants with 15 seconds left were as loud as the opening faceoff and there was about 50% attendance by that point.. definitely tells you who is and isn't passionate about the game.. i thought that was an interesting coincidence.. i'm sure its like that elsewhere too, thats just the first time i've ever seen something like that.. props to rockin out at 105 dB with around 8,000 fans.. thats impressive

i also saw a jody shelley jersey. i shit you not. pics forthcoming, but probably tomorrow.
