Why are people STILL talking about THE CALL? Does it really matter? Did anyone notice once Couture rang a shot off the post, the sharks came in waves - one after another. All VAN could do was to shove the puck back to center ice and get off. They weren't going to score in the OT and win the game. They weren't going to storm ahead and win the next 3 games either. VAN fans are talking alike Sutherland snatched their Stanley Cup right from their clutches.
But, this isn't why I stopped by...
Thought some might enjoy this article about SJ's most unsung hero - Vlasic and how he was greatly responsible for keeping the Sedins off the scoreboard.

Vlasic, who was the Sharks 35th overall pick in the 2005 draft, doesn’t get a lot of press. He’s not flashy, just shows up for work on a consistent basis, isn’t prone to injury and goes about his duties in a very solid fashion. He averaged 20:49 TOI/G in the regular season, which was second to Dan Boyle’s 22:47, but doesn’t spend a lot of time in the sin-bin. This is because he’s almost always in position, rarely caught behind the play, and thus he has no need to clutch, grab, hold or hook.
