If the Pens know what's good for them they'll realize how important a win in the next game is. Sharks showed in the 2nd that they can slow the pace down.

They also need stay out of the box. The Blues and Kings learned that the hard way.

Sharks have been playing with a different rulebook all playoffs. I've never seen a team get hooked up so much for being soft on their skates, especially with nonstop *****ing about the reffing coming from the organization and media.

Sutter did that exactly once and got roasted for it.

It's comical how much whining I've seen from some of their fans. It's as if that organization and its players should be handled with kids gloves. They did a masterful job on two of those calls as well when they chicken winged Lovejoy's stick to sell the hook, and the refs bit.

Yeah, they get away with so much. Polak along the boards basically just bear hugs the guy on the boards and doesn't allow him to move. And Marleau's "veteran move" there at the end. A lot of ways to embellish penalties. Doesn't just have to be a guy falling to the ice.

The question is, if the Sharks fail to win the Cup, are their going to be riots in San Jose? :naughty:
 
The Bay Area is smug enough, even without championships. ****ing yuppie central up there, not that LA is any better though.

The first Pens penalty was the result of a Sharks player clamping down on his stick and used his momentum to fall down to draw the call. And of course the Sharks scored on the pp. I think only ARZ is softer on their skates .

some sens fans are really rational with Karlsson and are reasonable when another teams says they would not give their best player for him...than there are those who say he is better than Bobby Orr

Yeah, I'm still a little annoyed that people will point out that the Devils/Kings series had lower ratings than Rangers/Kings as proof that the Devils are that detrimental on ratings.

Nobody remembers that thanks to the NBA lockout, the Devils/Kings went up against the NBA Conference Finals almost every game.

5/30: LAK@NJD; BOS@MIA
6/02: LAK@NJD; SA@OKC
6/04: NJD@LAK; OKC@SA
6/06: NJD@LAK; SA@OKC
6/09: LAK@NJD; BOS@MIA (game 7)
6/11: NJD@LAK

Game 6 went unopposed and drew 50% more viewers than the previous games.

Even looking up the articles from the time, various writers mention the series as a ratings disaster and use the NBA ratings to compare and contrast. But they completely whiff on how the NBA and NHL typically will do their best not to split the audience.
