Hmm I was watching the game last night (my brother's fiancée is a Hawks fan), and I had no idea what half of the things were. I had to look up icing because I didn't know why they kept calling things 😛. It seemed like OT was going to go on forever though!
 
Just thinking here; Should Vancouver win Tuesday night, how are you Canuck fans going to handle the next series? Is it going to be met with dread or with joy? Do you feel your chances are better or worse if you should win on Tuesday?

Ya I was thinking along the same lines. Even if the Cannucks win, they have already "lost" in the sense that they were up 3-0 on the 8th seed and then had to go to 7.

It could give an extra confidence boost to the next team they face. It could also harm the confidence of the cannucks, knowing they held on for dear life and made it out by the skin of thier teeth could do a mental number on them.

Then there is the physical factor. Chicago was very physical. And the preds are currently resting should they be the next team Vancouver faces.
 
What would Vancouver look like if they weren't spending $5.3 million on a goaltender? You won't know though for 50 years or whatever that contract is.

Yeah, the Preds just beat the 3rd best power play in the league and that's after giving up 8/21 (38%) to them. Vs Vancouver or Detroit, I'd say they have the defensive edge in goal despite Pekka's bad game 4. At this point, they are probably hoping to play battered Vancouver over well rested Detroit but pick your poison. If Preds' forecheck is as good as Game 6 they have a good shot of beating anyone.

Strange that he was injured in Game 2 and is getting surgery now. He sure didn't look hurt after jumping into Bieksa's head. I'm going to take a wild guess that he knew that would be his last game before the surgery and went headhunting.
 
Woot, Demers scores off of a great pass by Pavelski.

Sharks up 2-1. Sharks need at least one more.

5 minute major penalty to the Sharks with 3 minutes left.

3-3 tie for now, but this might be over for the Sharks.
 
Sharks made it into OT and killed off the major!

18:00 left in OT, and the Sharks on the attack and score!!!
