marcaractac 3,963 Report post Posted June 5, 2016 Two bad goals given up by Murray. Sharks are back in the series. That OT goal was straight up a well placed shot, while screened by his own teammates. Can't fault Murray for not being 6'8" there. Agreed on the tying goal, however. 2 xtrememachine1 and PavelValerievichDatsyuk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xtrememachine1 795 Report post Posted June 5, 2016 All of the goals except for the last one were either weak or fluky. I mean, I know its that time of year when you're not going to see many pretty goals, but these shots from the point that pinball off stuff isn't something you plan. Its more like, throw to the net from far away and hope we're luckier than them. That first goal wasn't even going to be on net and it takes a perfect bounce off a Sharks defenseman and into the net. Anyways, the Sharks need to play better. They won this game but they got out shot badly again and they're not winning 3 more games like that. The Pens don't need to change a thing right now, their strategy will eventually get them the Cup. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted June 6, 2016 I thought the OT goal was weak personally and exactly the book on Murray. He likes to stay down and leaves lots of room up top. With a puck coming around the net like that, typically you are covering all that side of the net, including the top. Not the first goal he's let in like that. The tying goal was way worse of course, no excuse for that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BTW, when you go back and watch vintage playoff videos, goals like that tying goal were scored all the time. Nowadays, they're a rarity. Hockey was more fun when we didn't expect goalies to stop everything besides deflections, screened shots and breakaways.

Free_Candy 38 Report post Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) For some reason being back in the finals brought back the memories of 08 and 09 and thought I'd stop by and say hello. Surprised so far the Sharks haven't really brought it the way you guys did back in the day. The first couple of games, the Sharks reminded me of the way the Pens were the first couple of games in 08 where they were a bit stunned by the experience of being in the finals and forgot what to do... But it ain't over until Bruce Boudreau sings. We need the Sharks fan meltdown for years back!"Where are your God Damn brains boy!?!"Wonder how he's feeling right now? "You are making an ass of yourself for all eternity! You are going and handing them the 2x4 to beat you with!" Never forget.

xtrememachine1 795 Report post Posted June 7, 2016 Considering what was at stake last night, the Sharks seemed pretty out of sync. I don't know if it was the ice or nerves or what, but terrible passes, nobody was strong on the puck and so many unforced errors. Sharks d-man lines up for a one timer on the PP and Burns passes it behind him. Thornton gets the puck and immediately has trouble controlling it without anyone around him and then makes a bad pass. A Sharks defenseman passes it ahead to a forward and another forward reaches out for it and knocks it away from his own teammate. I would say it's the ice, but the Pens had no trouble moving the puck around and making good passes. This should be over on Thursday night, the Sharks simply are not good enough to win.

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) Pittsburgh has never won the Cup on home ice. Although they had a chance in the 1995 Finals before the game was interrupted by terrorist attacks in OT of game 7.
