Steve Palumbo: Sharks lose Vlasic, then game 2; Series getting nasty

Jones was not good, of course, but all 3 goals were very good shots from dangerous positions. Defense was bad, bad

This is what playoffs is all about ... great to watch so far. 2 big teams with tons of skill and nasty, taking it out on each other. Love it.

Dell has to get the start in game 3 ... right ???

Actually the blog is fine. It’s your reading comprehension that’s lacking in this situation.

...One play changed the course of the entire game and perhaps the series.


I’ll take my comprehension lesson now...though maybe it’s a moot point, since by my comprehension of what’s written, the series is apparently over based on one call from the officials.

Lots to learn on how to comprehend things if you thought the blog was “whining...”

& if you can’t fathom that the interference penalty was garbage (fine - wave off the goal, but to put Couture in the box saying his action was deliberate...) & the impact it had on the game (don't necessarily agree with the series part) you have a sh*t ton to “comprehend” about hockey...

Well it certainly changed the course of the game, definitely was a horrible call imo. To say it (perhaps) changes the series may be a bit much...but the ball is certainly in SJs court to see how they respond in game 3 and so on

Give your head a shake buddy. Maybe go back to Garths blog. Even though I am pulling for these two teams to just pound & beat the pi$$ out of each other, that was a horsecrap call. Fleury gets the benefit of this garbage from the refs all the time & he is notorious to play out of the blue paint. These goalies want to be out of the paint, then some contact is going to happen. That call certainly changes the momentum in that game. One day your team is going to get into the playoffs & then you will realize how inconsistent officiating is league wide. Pure garbage.

Now please lets get the Sharks & Knights back to beating the pi$$ out of each other for 5 more games.

Kelly Sutherland= Tim Donaghy... Welcome to Gary Bettman's Golden Knights

Is it too late to trade Jones?

You go 1/8 on PP chances and give up two Short handed goals and its the one bad call you focus on? SJ needs to take a look in the mirror.

What's Reaves paying in rent for the space in the Sharks players heads?

The Sharks and their fans should be embarrassed...brutal hockey, cheap shot artists, such weak characters on this team...this series is over...it was never close.

Karlsson will move on...

That Pacioretty-Stastny-Stone line is dominating this series. Vegas is a serious contender.

Yes. Only option is to take him out back and put him down. San Jose really F'd up not grabbing a G for their playoff run. Now they gotta put in Dell and hope for the best.
