#7 San Jose Sharks vs. #2 St. Louis Blues

[Guest irishock]

Sharks win. No surprise imo. Did anyone think the Blues had a chance with the inexperience factor?

The experience factor is a huge advantage in the Sharks favor obviously. My biggest doubt about San Jose in this series was if Niemi could come anywhere close to matching Halak and Niemi was excellent tonight. If Niemi keeps playing that well, it's the Sharks series to win because the talent gap is still pretty wide between the two teams.

Hope it goes seven either way.

1:30 in... Blues score sort of... Vlasic shot it in his own net... puck was near the line and he cleared it into his net

Indeed, a classic own goal.

Beautiful play by Oshie to get the puck to Backes on that 2nd goal. Damn, that was nice.

The Sharks are pathetic. ANY playoff game that they're losing, they goon it up in the last 2 minutes. Has that ever worked for them? Bunch of idiots that don't deserve to get anywhere near the Cup.

I'm watching this game and unfortunately it's the San Jose feed and they keep whining about the Blues. Suck it sharks

Roman Polak ROCKED Braun wow!!!! after game mini brawl yes yes yes

[RedWingsRox 614]

2 St. Louis players put the beat down on SJ guys ....

Now all the players have learned the trick, fight or do anything you want after the time expires and you'll only get $2500 fine at most.

I know we're supposed to hate the Sharks and everything but I hate the Blues fans that think they're the greatest team ever blowing up my Facebook feed

[Cali-Wing-Nut 102]

SUCK IT GUPPIES!

[Jeff6851 168]

That and I hate Backes

[esteef 2,679]

Justice on Braun who pussed out of the Crombeen fight and suckered Langenbrunner while he was tied up! Polak rulezzzzzzzz!

That's the thing. If not for a few Blues fans, I'd be rooting for them over the Sharks all the way.

Now I sort of wish both teams could lose.

Nice own goal by Vlasic though

Umm it was the GAME WINNING GOAL LMFAO

Even if they deserved it the still wont get anywhere near the Cup. They are like the Lions, even when it looks like they have a shot at it, they totally blow it.

In SJ case Im more than happy with that.

Hahahaha just saw the Sharks started to goon at the end of the game, and some unlucky bastard got stuck with Polak. Absolutely destroyed!

Really kind of jealous; wish the Wings could've have done the same to them.

It was good seeing the Skarks get tossed around all game, especially at the end of the game. Sobotka had the chance to really drill whoever he took down. Justin Braun realized he wasn't as tough as he thought when Polak nearly killed him, after he ran away from B.J. Crombeen earlier in the brawl. Earlier in the game, that ***** Pavelski took some bombs from Kris Russell.

I really like the style of game that St. Louis plays. Tied the series, and when San Jose tried to send a message, the Blues took the message and shoved it down San Jose's throat.

The Blues shoved it somewhere but it wasnt their throat lol

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Wow, Vlasic.

[b.shanafan14 733]

Braun gets pulled away from Crombeen, then jumps back into the fray, getting some punches in on Langenbrenner from behind. Braun looks like he is trying to hold someone between him and Polak, but he gets free...

Loved how the sharks gooned it up while losing, showing the complete classless mindset that exists in the organization. Loved it even better when they got their asses handed to them. and Drew Remeda is the perfect color commentator for the team; I've never heard an announcer ***** that hard, that long. At least other announcers are able to tone it down a bit when they're picked up nationally, but he is an absolute joke

Part of the brawl may have been due to the Sharks being frustrated...but part of it was definitely because the Blues were pretty pissed.

San Jose had taken some liberties during the game. A couple plays (hit to the head on McDonald and elbow to Nichol) should be reviewed by Shanahan...but nothing will come of them because the whole system is messed up.

I think the Blues were tired of it and with the game over, decided to send a message.

I was happy to see that. St. Louis kept the retaliations to a minimum during the game and then took care of business when the game was over.

Either way...just very happy the series is even now.

[RedWingsRox 614]

Damn ... there's some really rough stuff going on in this series !! Which is good, one of them will emerge pretty battered and bruised.

The Sharks really like to ride their douchebag schtick don't they?

[Firehawk 305]

The western conference series have a ton of pace and tough battles going on. When it's not my team, I love it.

I actually think so far out of the 4 western conference series, the Wings/Preds series is the 'calmest'. We had the weber incident with a mild fight in game 2 but that's really been it.

It's fun to watch when it ain't your team getting the short end of it...

I hope all the other series go 7 and ours goes 5 .

Yeah i think both teams are taking liberties with each other. You can really feel the sense of hunger to win from both teams. It's great to watch when it's not your team involved.
