I couldn't root against Pavs, cheered for him til retirement, happy to be back hating the Stars but I'm kinda shocked at you both. (

Unrelated as Pavs was to this game/opponent, why's he catching strays?
It wasn't like Hertl asking out & going to the worst possible soul-less destination. I'll defend Pavelski to my last breath.
On topic of the game, officiating was guff, wasn't expecting to beat Dal but we don't get crushed being behind which is refreshing. The new era Sharks show desire to win, fire in the belly, all the signs you want to see from the kids along with increasing flashes of brilliance.
Smith & Celly sharing ice time is still sphincter clenching at times but it's giving us glimpses of what looks to develop into legitimate scoring chances once they hit that level of familiarity together.
