Just when things weren't looking good and the Sharks down in a 2-1 hole with 4:54 left remaining in a critical game 4, magic took place. The Sharks hocus-pocus'd into the team that went 20 games without a regulation loss. They managed to finally breakdown the defense of the Flames and score on Kiprusoff. Jonathan Cheechoo finally made an impact on what has been an otherwise slow playoff series for him. That's not all, folks. After all the talk about how the Calgary Flames have done a good job stifling Joe Thornton, he managed to get in front Kiprusoff in the final 10 seconds of the game, to do what?! Score the winning goal of course! Big ups go to those two for finally digging down deep and pulling out what it takes to win playoff hockey.
-Player Hits
Patrick Marleau- you've been playing great! This is why you're the captain. I love that even after the two punishing hits you took in game 3, you keep on playing well.
Milan Michalek- still waiting for you to show up this series. Ok, so you're not physical, you're a speedster, then i suggest you watch marleau play and how to fly by their blue liner.
Jody Shelley- I don't even care about the penalty you took in the 3rd period, way to get the message across that we aren't gonna take their shit.
Game 5 is on Thursday, 7 p.m. (PDT) Look for the sharks to re-gain control of this series. It's a tougher task than what I'm making it out to be, but for 2 periods, you played solid hockey. I saw finished checks, aggressive skating towards the puck, and more attempts to pass it around, and not just expect Joe to make the play. Good Stuff.
