Dan Boyle ties it up.

goddamit, the forecheck has to remain strong. One second on your heels, and the Shark will bite.

Edit: Goodman coach thought he could play defense against them. EVERYONE who's watched any game knows they can't.

And suddenly the Sharks take the lead off Joe Pavelski's second of the night.

Pavelski has really found his clutch after one assist in six games last playoffs.

He is the only player currently on San Jose's roster that the word "clutch" can apply to, even in the least.

Their own damn fault for thinking they could try to win a defensive game. Dumass called off the dogs too soon(again).








...Lindy better not.

Edit: C'mon Douche-Shane. Break ALL the rules:

Edit 2:

Pavelski is clearly one of their better players. Gooch too.




Congrats Sharks!

Empty net goal. Sharks advancing to the next round, barring a miracle.

That's just salt in the wound.

When the next team makes them back-check hard, they will be fucked. The Avs were a good team, but the cohesion between forwards and defensemen was far from seamless. This allows momentary meltdowns(why Lindy doesn't play too many rooks). They won't last in a hitting/speed conference.

I'm calling for an executive order to ban all "ironyish" jinxes of Dan Boil from the site for a time period. The guy seems to feed off it. Hate him or not, he's a perennial Conn-Smythe guy.
