The Wedge Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I'm a bit worried about the Blues, despite the 6-3 win on Saturday. The 3rd period looked a lot like games 2 and 3, where the Sharks skated a ton and had a lot of opportunities (and several goals). And what of Backes? Will he be back after missing the last two periods of play? It's tough when the veteran wearing the "C" is planted on the bench. Color me still pessimistic, but color me Blue through and through.

The Blues couldn't crack the other end in the last half of the game. It looked a lot like games 2 and 3. That Thornton / Pavelski line was just getting too many good passes and looks.

Joe Pesci Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Pens go back to Murray tonight for game 6. Could it possibly be the end of the Fleury era? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l2 0 5 5 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Game 7 here we come!! First 2 periods was great hockey by the Pens. They shrunk in to prevent defense mode after the Kessel own goal, which I hate, but happy with the win. Already nervous for Thursday night.

Could it possibly be the end of the Fleury era? it puts them in a rough position in the offseason for sure. You have to give murray a chance to prove he's a starter, but then you're in a position where you have Fluery as a backup and his value isn't exactly going up at that point. Plus... Expansion draft.... The real question is do they have the balls to move away from Fleury, even though it's clear they should be at least exploring Murray as the successor.. I suspect they do not, given the way they generally operate when it comes to their favored sons.(see also, game 5) 18 hours ago, l2 0 5 5 said: Game 7 here we come!!

Both those goals were kind of flukey actually. Nice bounce back game by the Pens though. I suspect this one will go to overtime. No prediction really. Been a couple pretty exciting, fun to watch series though, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonesy Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Upshaw just lost his mind. I don't think I've ever seen that before. (High stick a guy to the ice and then shoot the puck at him while he's down.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Congrats to @Bonesy and the Sharks on their first appearance in the finals. I'll be rooting for them to win it all. I want to see the veterans like Thornton and Marleau hoist the Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swordfish Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 The sharks look scary good.... Big, fast, lethal power play... Might come down to goaltending... I know Jones has stolen a few, but he;s also looked a little leaky at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerenthaClone Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Looks like I missed a lot of good hockey. Didn't get a chance to watch the last three games due to work, and I'm missing game seven tonight too. Sorry Blues fans, I was rooting for you, but the Sharks getting in is pretty cool too! Here's hoping for a Pens victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only radio coverage Hockey gets are Hockey dedicated half hours or hours. Of all the KNBR hosts Tom Tolbert is really the only one who dedicates any time to the Sharks. He has their play-by-play guy on at least once a week and tries to corral the occasional player or coach interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
