I will agree he does let in softies and that is his major flaw.

Excuse me? That game went into one of the longest OT's in the history of the playoffs. The Sharks went down 0-3 and came back and almost won that series. It would have been one of the biggest comebacks in NHL history. They weren't up to the challenge? And yes, I will say the only reason they lost was because of that penalty. Would the Wings be able to kill off that penalty and continue in the fourth 20 minute OT in the playoffs, in Dallas? I don't believe any team would have been able to kill off that penalty in that situation. And this game wasn't about getting to the SO. It was about coming down from a 4-1 deficit and stealing a point when they obviously played horrible in the first period and the half of the second period. Yes, shootouts aren't in the playoffs, but technically, the shootout didn't matter tonight.

This team may have revolved around Thornton last season, but under this new coach, more players have stepped up and this team doesn't revolve around Thornton anymore. Marleau, Nabby, Boyle, Blake, Vlasic, Ehrhoff, and a few others have played so much better this season, and I don't think that Thornton will disappear in the playoffs, and if he does, it won't impact the team as much. Marleau is arguebly having his best season, and not having him in the game today showed. As it should be. Marleau always stepped it up in the playoffs. And I completely disagree about the Nabby point. Nabby stepped up bigtime in the Calgary series, and even more in the Dallas series. The only reason the Sharks lost that longass game against Dallas was because the stupid redhead Brian Campbell got penalized and the Sharks were too tired to kill a penalty. But you are right about one thing, we will see.

That's definitely the game Sharks fans have circled on their calendars. Probably the most important game left in the regular season.

Agreed. Nicely put.

Agreed. They are absolutely horrible. And for some reason the BJ's announcers have always bugged me. I don't know what it is but they've always bugged me.

So when the Sharks were losing before the injuries, what did they use as an excuse? They bring up the injuries whether they win or lose. I have watched every single Sharks game for 3 years now, and they do call out the Sharks when they play bad and call them out on why they played bad (and no it's not because of injuries). And maybe since you don't listen to them every night, you don't know what you're talking about.

But it's fun! Feel free to come in my waters and do the same!

So first it's them complaining about injuries and now it's complaining about non-calls? I would agree if they complained about non-calls that could have gone either way, but they complain about non-calls that should have gone the Sharks way! And it's strange but I've heard your announcers complain about non-calls a few times. Maybe it's just me? It could go either way.

Quite the contrary, the Sharks announcers are one of the most respected and homerless (if thats a word) announcers in the league. Not just saying that because I'm a fan. Most teams recognize them as one of the best.

I refuse to listen to you when you say that Nabby sucked tonight after those brilliant saves in the 2nd-3rd.

Sharks get the point. I'm ecstatic about that because there was no way in hell I thought they would even get that point.

You really think Ozzy is better then Nabby? At least this season?

Two to go...

The look on Pavelski's face said it all.

Blah.

Agreed. The Sharks tend to play bad against worse teams.

And to think I was laughing at how bad they suck just last week.

I was actually discussing the schedule with my dad earlier today and I said that I feel like Detroit has an easier schedule then the Sharks.

It would have been Murray's first goal of the season. That poor guy just isn't getting lucky.

Another amazing save by Nabby.

I was watching that game and I have to admit they were very horrible. Refs, in general, have been horrible this season.

They showed a reply and he obviously knocked it off. He even lifted his hands up afterwards.

Net was knocked off by Keith and no call. Refs have been horrible this entire season.
