I need to give a shoutout to Theodore. He played a very understated but massively effective two way game. His positioning was always on point, he was the best guy at finding loose pucks in the defensive zone and offensively, his passing and rushing was insanely helpful to our transition game. Lost in the haze of contributions from guys like Fleury, Karlsson, Marchesseault, and Neal I think Theo was one of the series MVPs.
GDT: WCSF: Game 6 Golden Knights at Bad Guys' House (Foot on the throat Edition) 4:30 PST

People may disagree with my theory that has been formed over 25 years of closely following and betting on hockey, but the Knights won this game because of game 5. The Sharks run in the third took their puck luck away from them. Playoff hockey is all about spurts and the timing of them and the Sharks just had a poorly timed spurt. In the NBA you see coaches wisely shutting it down once a team is way behind even though 20 point comebacks aren't crazy to happen. They rest players up and basically prepare themselves to have the next spurt at the start of the next game.

Haven't watched the game yet, but, saw the final score. (The downside of taking care of a parent who hates sports.

YES! Sharks are sucking air! Onward to the Western Conference Finals, Knights!

For me Theodore was inconsistent, as he's been all year long, but seemed to grow into the series as it progressed.

The Sharks have a tough, physical group of forwards who are very talented & can skate well. I thought Theodore was excellent in this series & handled their forecheck as best as could be expected.. Of course he made some rookie mistakes, but he played like a seasoned vet most of the time. Him & Tuchsy are growing up in front our eyes.
All our defensemen were inconsistent. I think Theodore had the most aggregate positive plays.
But boys I almost forgot. My GDTs are STILL undefeated. I've been saving them for games I deem important.
Though granted I should've made one for game 5. I had a really busy day then.
I thought everybody was good in game one and games two through four were struggles for a lot of them, Theodore included. Games five and six were when Theodore and Schmidt really stepped up for me, when needed most.
