Series Talk: (P3) San Jose Sharks vs. (M2) Pittsburgh Penguins

[Clarkington III]

I agree that if the Sharks can manage to find their B+, A- or A game for the remainder of the series, we are going to have one heck of a finish.

Couple that with the possibility the Pens throw up a stinker or even mediocre effort and good things can happen.

2 games in a row seems a lot more manageable than 3 in a row. Win at home and I certainly like the chances in a Game 7.

At the beginning of the season, or even the beginning of the playoffs, if you would have asked me if I would take the Sharks needing to win two games in a row against Pittsburgh, with the first game being at home, in order to win the Stanley Cup, I would have taken that and run with it.

God yes. This is the greatest season ever for the Sharks. I hope it ends with JT & PM lifting the cup. Actually, how cool would that be? Pavs lifts the cup, hands it to Joe, and Joe/Patty both lift it together?

Even if they lose Sunday, it's been a great season.

Maybe the sharks should keep their game plan. If NHL 16 has taught anything, it's that the penguins strategy won't work. More than doubling shots on goal and leading in time on attack probably gives the penguins roughly a 20% chance to win each remaining game.

Lmfao. NHL 16 is where you can out corsi the hell out of your opponent, only for them to score off a perfect cross crease pass in your zone. Repeat x3.

Exactly how the Sharks won last night!

 

[Bowie22]

Just keep winning, so the media can keep QQing

 

[EmergencyExit]

I'm okay with winning the series like that. It will make so many heads explode.

For the sake of our hearts I'd like a blowout victory. We gotta be due.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I'm not even stressin. Win or lose its been a great year.

 

[EmergencyExit]

Certainly. It could get a little sweeter though and we'd all love to see Thornton and Marleau get a cup.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I'd like them to win for sure. I'm just in a pretty good mood about the team going forward.

Finally a goalie who can, and does, steal games...didn't get to watch game 5, had to listen to it on the radio, but the highlights were amazing. Unfortunately my yearly worry that somehow the Sharks make it to the cup finals and I'm on my annual June camping trip have come true and I'm going to be away from civilization for a week during game 6 and hopefully a game 7.

That's where I'm at. The team has shown a lot of moxie. Plenty to look forward to next season.

Hope they win on Sunday but with the way this series is going, I'd be surprised if we did win.

 

[Shark Finn]

Luck is all the Sharks have. Pens are all skill. Malkin intended to deflect that off of Braun. Jones can't keep that kind of play up. Pens are outshooting and outplaying the Sharks. Sharks should've had more penalties. San Jose ice sucks. The beards are a disgrace. Pens can do no wrong, the apparent opinion by NBC. Two day breaks suck, it's advantageous to the Sharks.

Ahem. Glad we ruined the party. Let's do it twice more.

But honestly, I was preparing myself for a loss after Game 4 (shhhh..) but getting another home game for the fans in SJ is amazing. Enjoy it whoever is going there. Here's hoping for a win.
