Sharkies need to try and dominate at home right now. Few hours will tell!

Nice bounce back win for the Lightning.

I agree, when a series is tied up 1-1, whoever wins game 3 is likely to win the series. Unless you're the Caps, in which case even if you win you'll likely not win the series. So yea, Pens in 6.

That sharks/knights game was a BATTLE! I saw so many plays, going each way, where guys were giving it everything they had, and then a little more. Some great O and D!!!

Sorry jgoens

The refs even gave them back that BS goal that changed the whole outcome of Sunday's game. I'm going tonight, it's going to be a rough time for the Caps here in Yinzer-nation!

Yeah, the last two games are exactly how I figured this series would go. Basically flip a coin--we are at must win game now.....I think if this goes back and forth with a game 7 in Vegas it will not end well for the Sharks.

Traveling today...had to give up da tickets for heading dawntawn N@. May be able to get back to the hotel to pick up around the second. Go Pens.

Tampa’s gonna win out against Boston so long as the first line gets in drive. And vassy stops sucking.

San Jose I bet brings that series to a game 7.

I'm pretty sure Maata was just in the middle of tryouts for the Finnish diving team. While I'm posting, I'm just gonna leave this here....

Dont think you dive to create a two on one with a minute left...nice try though.

As for the picture...Wilson just received 3 games.

What I don't understand is how a guy who received a two game suspension, immediately followed by a fine and a 4 game suspension, all this season, only gets 3 for this, even with it just following a similar incident the game before. This "player safety" thing is a joke sometimes...

ShopVac · 05-02-2018, 09:17 PM

Tampa up 2-1.

Start of the Sharks game...did this girl just F up the lyrics to the national anthem? I dint know my stars where still there...

FlaPatsFan · 05-02-2018, 10:18 PM

Lightning took it to the B’s in their building....love it! Solid win. Need another on Friday.

GO BOLTS!!!!!

Wakka · 05-02-2018, 11:25 PM

What a game! Tampa had their number tonight. Go bolts!

Looks like San Jose managed the equalizer as long as Vegas doesn’t score 3 in the next 8 mins too

Got home in time for the third...sharks look good--as fast as Vegas. And some rough stuff going on too. We got a series.

I think they took the fact that it's the playoffs into consideration, it's happened before. If this were the regular season they'd probably suspend him for 10+. I don't agree with the suspension, but what's done is done and now the Caps are going to have to try to figure out a way to beat the Penguins without the one guy that has been the main antagonist in this series. I think the Capitals' goose just got cooked by the DoPES.

UncleWede · 05-03-2018, 09:38 AM

For shits and giggles, and since I've surfed for 35+ years and am afraid of sharks, I decided to watch the start of the 3rd in SD. No wonder hockey never used to be on TV!!

Home ice doesn't seem to matter, it's just going to be a grind to see who wins 2 of the next 3. Great games, but Jones was an amazing wall last night.

I honestly think the game was closer than the score, but that being said the Sharks know what it takes to beat Vegas--Can they do it? Need to play like that every game--though I think in the OT games both teams were at top level.

There is no doubt that the first five minutes of the next one in Vegas the Knights will come out in full force like game one hoping for an onslaught. If the Sharks can weather that and keep up with the speed we will have a chance to come back home leading the series.

It was painful to watch Game 3 last night between the Bs and Bolts. Bruins were a wreck last night. Almost like they didn't want it.
