San Jose Sharks Defeat Anaheim Ducks 4-0 and Advance to the Western Conference Semi Finals

[fsanford]

The Ducks can take solace in fact they managed to scratch out a goal this game to surpass the Kings in total goals for a series 4 to 3

That was some bad offense by the SoCal contingent.

Good series ducks, the GDTs were surprisingly passive!

Now the knights will be tough

Honestly we both hate LA more than each other now.

 

[Friday]

Good series by san jose, controlled the games in every aspect.

Good luck in round 2

You seem like a nice human, sorry you had to watch that. At least they played a good game tonight, no dirty stuff and they worked hard.

that's cruel, but it has been the goaltenders Playoffs.

 

[Mikeshane]

Holy cow what a complete ass kicking.

Did I watch a hockey series or a murder?!

This if anything shows that San Jose indeed has a future in the post-Thornton/Marleau era (Obviously Marleau's in Toronto and Thornton hasn't played in this series)

 

[TheWayToRefJose]

I was expecting Anaheim to win the series, San Jose impressed me but Anaheim was sure underwhelming. They showed zero emotion

Anaheim screwed the pooch by trying to Goon out and intimidate SJ the first three games. Game 4 was the first game Anaheim actually tried to play hockey, and it was their best game of the series. If they would've played hockey instead of gooning the first three games, it would probably be a lot closer of a series.

Nice one, Randy.

 

[kducks]

Thank you Sjs, gl in the next series vs Vgk, should be an entertaining one.

Side note: Does the next series potentially start before the first round ends? I think the Nhl has done it before, I know the Nba definitely does.

NHL usually waits for the others to end before starting the next round.

 

[Tw1ster]

I wish I could enjoy the time being up 3-0 in a series. Was on egg shells all the way until the final horn. If they ever break my heart like they did in 2014, I may have to walk away from the game. Great series boys, I'm totally fine with average regular season Jones when we get beast Jones in the playoffs

 

[Mallard]

Great way for the Ducks to honour arguably the greatest Ducks defensemen. Just brutal.

Our GM gifts the team Captain Canada and Chimera for a real long playoff push who are totally worthless. BM and RC better be gone.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Sharks were hungrier, faster, more disciplined.
Ducks looked worn out.

VGK vs SJS should be a good series.

 

[TheDanceOfMaternity]

Pretty sure this means that a new team will eliminate the sharks this year (unless Colorado wins).

There’s no way we don’t have the record for that.

 

[Deen]

Big Joe will return and finally win.

 

[SharksFan17]

Pretty sure this means that a new team will eliminate the sharks this year (unless Colorado wins).

There’s no way we don’t have the record for that.

There's always the Pens...

 

[LuGBuG]

Good luck Sharks, deserve the win. Be hoping for you or Vegas out of the west whoever wins the series. Your time to shine Oiler fans with nothing better to do.

 

[snowave]

Congrats, Sharks. Really impressed with your game plan and execution. Would love to be pissed and hate you guys, but hard to be upset with anything other than our own play.

. Some big changes needed in Anaheim, both on the bench and behind it, and possibly on the stool as well.

 

[snowkiddin]

There’s no way we don’t have the record for that.

Or Pittsburgh wins ... But hey, they look good! Maybe no one eliminates them this year

 

[Bounces R Way]

TY Sharks. San Jose is a big fast and well coached team, should be a good series between them and Vegas.

To Anaheim

Im a fan of hockey(ducks are just the team i grew up watching kariya selanne pahlsson mcdonald etc), sharks played some good hockey. Im def not disappointed in them tonight... jones is a beast. Not really going to discredit san jose in anyway they had a great game plan, played hard and earned every victory... anaheim couldnt figure them out... lines 1 - 4 basically won their matchups and the dmen made quick smart plays... they won special teams battle and jones whatever he had to when called on.

Just cause ducks are out doesnt mean im done with hockey ill go home do some thinking about my future and decide what bandwaggon id like to join for rest of year

I think they showed too much misplaced emotion and the Sharks goaded them into bad penalties.

 

[hohosaregood]

Ducks wasted games 2 and 3 trying to get under the Sharks skins with all the dirty shit.

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

No, I think they wait for all the other series to end, as they should. Teams deserve a rest for sweeps

NHL usually waits for the others to end before starting the next round.

Two years ago the second round started the same day the Preds/Ducks played game 7, so there is some precedent for it to happen

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Also, Tomas Hertl just destroyed Getzlaf. He took the toughest matchups and zone starts and was not on the ice for a goal against at even strength. He also scored 3 goals.

 

[Joe Sakic]

Atrocious performance by the Ducks in this series.

Very disappointing as a fan of the game.

At least they made game 4 close, I guess...
