Despite the loss, still happy by the result as due to exhaustion, we had to play Dan Ellis and drop the youngsters on defence down to the 3rd pairing and limit their time. It wasn't the ideal lineup situation as we were very concerned about Vancouver as they have some great players with scoring ability. Once again, the Sharks outshoot the team but just don't pull off the win. It's been the same story for several games. No lack of effort from the boys.
And Brandon Saad's shot that injured Crosby. I can tell you right now, Saad isn't going anywhere off this team.
