This is a 10* play on the San Jose Sharks.
The Sharks came into this post-season with a lineup loaded with veteran players and a ton of playoff experience. They also bring a reputation for choking under pressure, and a long history of post-season failure. This might well be the last kick at the can for players like Patrick Marleau and Joe Thornton, and so far we've seen a team that appears to be focused on putting it's previous failures behind them.
They lost Game 1 in St. Louis by a score of 2-1, but they dominated play in the third period, and out-shot the Blues 32-23 in the game. The difference in the game was a bad goal against allowed by netminder Martin Jones, who has been stellar so far in these playoffs. I expect a much better effort from Jones tonight, and the Sharks are likely to come out flying.
Joe Pavelski leads all scorers in the post-season with nine goals, and he's just one of three sharks that rank in the top 5 in points scored. The Blues leading scorer Vladimir Taresenko did not play particularly well in Game 1, and he missed the pre-game skate because of the birth of his child. He's expected to play, but might have other things on his mind, and likely hasn't gotten much sleep.
Look for this series to be tied heading back to San Jose.
Take SJS.
