Wasn't a shock at all. I would have done the exact same thing. LA was gooning it up big time with cheap plays. Richards speared Couture and got 4 minutes for it and Greene/Mitchell went after Torres in the crease cutting him with a high stick. If LA was going to goon it up, SJ was going to make them pay by putting out the #1 unit. If they were regular PP's (trip, etc), the 2nd unit would have been out. But that Richards play in particular was really cheap. Blatant spear to Couture. That's why the Sharks put out the top unit.
