Puckluck is often derivative of good play as well though.
I agree with the above though, those guys are playing out of their minds.

Re. “Rejects and outcasts” might have been effective as a motivator early in the season, the operative word is might. I think most of the players knew they were not rejects and outcasts.
I also think that if the team needed a special level of motivation in the beginning, it more likely came from the horrible tragedy, and Engelland’s eloquent response which got the fan base wholly behind the team. This is leaving aside the overall high quality of the team, based on the fact the roster was made up of solid NHLers from top to bottom, and had a coach that knew how best to utilize the players.

What a dumb suspension video. No mention of the obvious - that Pavelski is battling with Schmidt, then Bellemare, who is an enforcer, starts moving in on Pavelski, who is the Sharks' captain and hardly a tough guy. Kane goes after Bellemare, unsurprisingly, and cross checks him twice in more or less identical fashion, with the second going up his arm and into his face. I mean, if you're going to suspend a guy, at least be honest about what happened.

I'm hoping the Sharks come out flying tonight after getting embarrassed in game 1. Playoffs are so much more fun when the games are competitive.

I agree. You shouldn’t be turning off a playoff game in the second period

Yeah, round 2 hasn't been super great so far. Only close game had the wrong outcome for me (screw the Penguins).

Vegas really needs to drop the Golden from their name.

I would love to attend a game there.

8 minutes in and Vegas hasn't scored yet. Good job, Sharks!

And that's why I picked Vegas to win this series. Jones can't out perform Fleury. No chance.

Clips reminding me that Drew Poughty is out of the playoffs are always great.
I took his name and replaced Doughty with Poughty, because he pouts. It's super clever.
