WC Playoffs Round 1: San Jose Sharks vs Los Angeles Kings (Kings win 4-3).

[Henry Fool]

Really liked the movement on that PP. So many teams just stand around on a 5-on-3, I don't get why.

[Flash Walken]

I'd love to be in that building right now.

It looks like an absolute madhouse in there.

Gotta wonder about Martin getting the start in game 3. Unlikely, I know, but, San Jose is really exploiting Quick.

that powerplay is an embarrassment of riches in the puck possession department.

man thornton is a magician.

[RougeUnderoos]

Kinda sucks cheering for a team with Torres on it, but for some reason I am.

What a collapse by the Kings.

Yeah if you have confident puck carriers, there are so many opportunities to create chaos and force the PK to make decisions. A lot of teams will simply pass around the puck in a fixed configuration and the chaos only begins after the initial shot when the puck bounces around.

Maybe this is the Sharks year.

You know you've got a damn good (deep) team when Joe Pavelski is playing on your third line. He'd be the best player on probably half of the teams in the league.

I took the Sharks to win it all in my pool, and although it was risky I am liking it so far.

[direwolf]

The Sharks are looking like the Bruins of the west. I don't know if anybody will be able to beat these guys.

[dino7c]

lol Hrudey how does he know quick said "lets stick together here guys"

likely said "pull your ####ing heads outta your asses here boys"

[Flash Walken]

I gotta get me one of those red light Zeppelins.

A big part of it is luck.

If San Jose can sweep this series, they greatly enhance their chances. Just look at the Chicago/St.Louis series. Whoever comes out of that one is going to have a half-empty gas tank before the next series even starts.

In that regard, Anaheim's got the right cards right now.

[RedCoffee]

what's with the spearing suddenly

[trackercowe]

It's probably too soon to say the Sharks are going to have an easy road. The Ducks, Blues, and Avalanche are all looking really good right now, and I won't even say the Kings are done until they lose one at home. LA has let a few periods get away from them, and things could easily change if they figure out how to shut the Sharks down at home.

[dino7c]

lol ref obviously just wants the game to end

[Frank MetaMusil]

No call on that? LA resorting to goonery now. What a beating!

[dino7c]

its tough to say since the teams aren't directly in competition but I would say SJ is the early team to beat. Putting up this kinda offence against the Kings!
