Woah...quite a game.
Really not the best of performances by the Sharks. They seem to have these games where they are as turnover prone as the worst teams in the league. It was pretty bad the whole game. Patty Marleau who had his best game of the season in my opinion, started off the scoring...except I didn't see it. In fact, anyone who was watching on Comcast California didn't see it. The feed went out for a good minute and thirty seconds, and during that time, Marleau took a nice pass from Thornton to put it in. Gahhhh. From then on it was Edmonton's game. The turnover problem came up, and it seemed that other than a few shifts, the game was played in San Jose's zone.
On the bright side, Marleau played a hell of a game when it seemed no one else would. The former captain(how many times have you heard that) got a hat trick, which is the Sharks 3rd of the season. Ryan Clowe got the Sharks other goal, and he has 15 points in the last 14 games. I like that. You know what else I like? The return of Torrey Mitchell. 108 games since his last regular season game, and I didn't really notice him on the ice. Don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. He only was on the ice for 6:30 minutes; expect more playing time as Todd learns to trust him.
Not much else to say about this game. The Sharks got lucky. After playing a horrible game in their own zone, they were saved by Marleau and were able to pull it out in the shoot-out. Next up on the Canadian trip is Vancouver on Sunday.
