Yea it has been a rough long road to get the sharks where they are. Semi rebuilding worked for them though and I'm glad. So far the pens have dominated but at the same time we haven't seen the sharks on home ice. Hopefully they can pull through tonight and take the home stretch for the lead.
At least Pittsburgh gets to hoist the cup at home.

Must win for sure, as is game 4. Would like to see Pavelski get hot. He's been awfully quiet.
Well I think we can all see the handwriting on the wall in this series. The Sharks have just been a big disappointment. Paging Marleau, Pavelski, Couture -- your presence is wanted on the ice.
On the other side of the coin, though, all credit to the Pens, who have been absolutely dominating in mostly all categories. One area that isn't being talked about much is that Mike Sullivan is just plain out-coaching Pete DeBoer. Who makes a line change when the other team is moving the puck up the neutral zone? Teams that get scored on and lose, that's who.
Outside of Pens fans, and unless some miracle occurs, I'm betting many hockey fans see this series, which looked like such a great match-up at first, as a disappointment so far.

At least the NBC announcers are on your side.

For the record, I'm not really on anyone's 'side' in this series. I'm neither a fan nor a hater of either of these teams. But based on what we've seen so far in the playoffs, I was really hoping and looking forward to a great series, and it hasn't been that.
Your Pens are dominating, and I'm not trying to take anything away from them. I just expected more from the Sharks, and I'm betting I'm not alone in that thought.
Mysterio I agree. I expected more from the sharks out of the gate. They had some good spots tonight at least. I was disappointed at how badly they were out shot but hey we won. We have a chance still.

Goaltending hasn't been much of a deciding factor in this series but Martin Jones stole that one for the Sharks. In a series where the Pens have dominated that game might have been the most one sided of all.
One of the greats has left us.

One of the greats indeed. There's a really nice video tribute to him on NHL.com. Imagine playing until you're 52, so you could play with your two sons. That's some serious pedigree right there, not to be duplicated any time soon, probably in any sport.
And another reason I hate Kalifornia

For sure. Sharks were lucky they got it to 6 games. grats to Pens.
Yup. They played great towards the end of the regular season and in the playoffs.
Really thought Washington was the team to do it all this year. Probably would of if Pittsburgh didn't play Murray.

Vesey(rights) to Buffalo
Andersen to Toronto
Yandle(rights) to Florida

Datsyuk headed back to Russia also. That's too bad.
There was talk Vesey was coming to Boston but, such is life.
Anyone watching the draft?
Calgary acquired Matthew Tkachuk (LW) with there 6th pick, and we also made a trade with St. Louis for goalie Brian Elliot.
Really excited about Tkachuk! :rockon:
Bruins fans, are you happy with your new defensemen Charlie McAvoy?
I thought Boston was going to grab Logan Stanley, 6'7" 225 lb (D) as a replacement for the aging Chara.
