  • San Jose had the best road record in the NHL this season. This series has now become a best of 5 with Calgary having a home ice advantage. San Jose was 27-10-4 on the road, which makes winning 2 out of 3 in Calgary a pretty safe bet.

  • Evgeni Nabokov is the best goalie in the NHL. Watch the highlights. Watch the save Nabby makes on Nolan. A mixture of athletic ability, uncanny net minding savvy, and the luck the great ones get and just another clip to add to his formidable highlight reel. Oh, yeah, he just notched his 6th postseason shutout.

  • The depth the Sharks developed is already making an impact as San Jose is running more quality lines out game in and game out. Calgary just can't match up with the Sharks ability to throw out 4 quality lines and are going to wear out over the course of the series, and the young guys on the Sharks are just going to get more comfortable and more dangerous.

  • Over the first two games the Sharks have out shot the Flames 82-44. Kipurosoff is a formidable goaltender but if Calgary continues to allow San Jose to pepper him the series is a forgone conclusion...Sharks win the series.

Yep, feeling pretty good tonight. What a difference a game makes.
