Series Talk: WCSF: (P3) San Jose Sharks vs. (P1) Vegas Golden Knights

I know we won against Detroit in 1994 and Calgary in 1995 but have we ever won another G7 on the road?

Rather famously, game 7 vs the Blues in 2000.

Damn, no clue how I forgot that.

We need a strong effort in game 6 and then some Owen Nolan magic on the road.

so you're saying we're due!!

Honestly, if we lose, no big deal, if we couldn't get passed vegas, no way we'd beat Nashville or Winnipeg even if there was suspect officiating.

I still think theres a strong chance the Sharks win this series so this is probably premature but if they lose in 6 or 7 I'd still consider it a positive season overall. Swept their first round matchup as a lower seed and brought the division winner to the brink without a vital part of their core in the lineup for half the season + playoffs. The young core (Meier, Hertl, Joakie, Tierney, Labanc) all took positive steps and the cap situation is favorable going into this offseason. A lot to be proud of and a lot to look forward to.

The Sharks were so bad in game 6 that year vs Stl. I thought they had no chance in game 7.

I guess.

Still, I would be crushed. I know us Sharks fans should be used to failure, but losing in game 6 or 7 would still feel like a kick in the crotch

That’s funny that you say that, because I think who ever wins this series goes to the finals. I watched the Jets and Preds series closely and I’m not very impressed. They’re both playing a pretty slow game right now.

 

[Arkansas Shark]

Haha

Their pregame show is a group of sweaty, larping neckbeards that bypassed security and entered the rink.

 

[Alwalys]

We've outplayed them in 3 games and they outplayed us in 2. Problem is we lost one of those three. That's how you lose a series, sigh.

EDIT: Question -- how many game 5s have we won tied 2-2? I can only remember the STL series. I swear game 5 is ALWAYS where we die.

 

[WSS11]

welp.. no Thornton. Also Hansen can’t even get on the fifth line, is he just sharpening skates and preparing Demelo and Karlsson’s meals?

I was 10, that was the game for me. Ive never missed another playoff game haha

Jumbo is dead, dunno why they haven't just shut him down if he wasn't even close.

Lol what was the point of all that gamemenship? flaunting him during warmups, playing him on the first line in practice if he wasn’t even close

Jumbo just wants to skate with the boys one last time before he retires.

Stopppp, if Jumbos last game was on my birthday and he died that day. Would be pissed

It's probably a lot of this, honestly. Seems like good vet to have around.

No way he doesn't give it one last go, he would be so bored without hockey
