Wow that was a stat. 9 different teams have eliminated the sharks in 9 years. This will be the 10th. Sharks are showing their usually true colors in big games.
Niemi/Nabby. Slightly different name, same person.
Is Marleau a healthy scratch?
This entire series on McLellan. He's a fucking idiot.
If you need more proof, I think* he put his 4th line on the ice after the first goal. How big of a moron do you have to be to do THAT?
*= too lazy to go back and check, mostly because I don't give a shit.
Rares, that 4th line has been really good these past two games. They are the only one consistantly getting the puck deep and getting in on the forecheck. They did that after after the goal, line changed to get the Couture line on the ice who stayed out too long then made a bad line change and cost them the 2nd goal.
Also, no real legit scoring chance on Quick through 2 periods... not really sure how anyone can think a miracle is going to happen in the 3rd. /shrug
Here's how I see this game going:
- Sharks start out fast, play OK but get overwhelmed by Kings playing in front of home fans and motivated, etc.
- Kings score a quick goal, possibly on a PP or 5-on-3.
- Niemi gives up a second goal, a soft one.
- Sharks down 2-0 going into the 3rd.
- Sharks score a late goal because the Kings sit on a the lead, like all teams do. Quick stands on his head and the one goal is all the Sharks get.
- Sharks go golfing.
- Sharks fans blame refs, etc.
How am I doing so far?
