Watching Florida's power play reminds me of a lot of the Power Plays the Sharks had. What are they doing.

Gorgeous pass. Florida has no answer for Edmonton's stretch plays. Bobrovsky needs to make some big saves.

I felt like this, but I imagine San Jose would be similarly overwhelmed by big-market fans.

When I went to Game 3 in 2016, it was a pretty good Sharks contigent, and I would call Pittsburgh big market, at least with Crosby and Malkin. I don't remember the tank being overwhelmed with Pens fans.

Pittsburgh can't compare to Edmonton, which has more hockey fans per capita than it has people.

If the Sharks were in the finals, would you be dropping $1500 for a single ticket? Be honest.

Mike Grier is absolutely going to trade for Cody Ceci if the Oilers win, isn’t he.

I feel totally justified being one of the few (non-Sharks) people that hated Woodcroft when the Oilers fired him.

I would. It’s a rare opportunity and worth every penny. Especially if they win. Memories that stay with you forever.
200 family and friends joined the oilers on chartered planes to the game tonight.
Yeah, but with my luck I'd buy tickets for the game they get shellacked even if they eventually won the series. Happened vs. Colorado, vs. Nashville, then I stopped going for the collective good.

Can't wait for Sharks hockey to return someday
As soon as the Sharks won the West Finals in 2016, we booked travel to the Bay Area with the intention of attending Games 3 and 4 of the SCF. But by the time it came, Sharks were down 0-2 and we couldn't stomach the high costs to just watch them try to salvage the series. If they were tied 1-1 or up 2-0, we would have at least gone to one game. So we watched Game 3 at BWW in Fremont and Game 4 at SmokeEaters in Santa Clara lol.
$1500 per ticket is crazy, but depending on finances, yes for a Home Game 7 SCF. But probably not any earlier in the series. MAYBE a Home Game 6 if the Sharks are up 3-2.
Probably wouldn't for a Road Game 7. Too much risk of being surrounded by opposing teams fans celebrating their Cup win. As I always say for road games in general, the highs are so high, but the lows are so low. Not worth the risk of the lowest of lows to me.
mcd kind of invisible, feeling like if the oilers are gonna win this he has to make something happen.

Hmm, well I certainly wouldn’t. That’s way too much money for a potentially devastating experience.
The only Sharks playoff game I have ever been to was game three of the WCF in 2011 against Vancouver. Was incredibly fortunate that was the only game they won that series. But I hardly even remember it, the only thing I remember about the game was that Marleau scored a goal or two and one of the Canucks defensemen almost died (Edler? Ballard?) and we had to stand in silence for like ten minutes while they attended to him.
