Damn, another loss........but at least they showed up for this game. A good effort for the entire game, just unlucky at the last minute. This is the Canucks team I'm used to......not the players who were at home for the past 5 games.

I was surprised they didn't call the Sedin's for setting a pick ~15 seconds before the hook......I guess they were letting things go, but enough was enough at that time.

Lemieux played well...........couldn't tell he was retired for 5 years. The AHL conditioning must have helped him a lot (20+ games). Judging by his play today, he'll be a very valuable addition to the Sharks 4th line.

Did you enjoy the game Spire? And how is it that you're able to get tickets to any games? Here tickets sold out 10 minutes after they went on sale back in September.......the only way to get them now are scalpers?

 

I was very dissapointed with the way the Sharks were playing for the vast majority of the game (esspecially with Thornton who couldn't win a faceoff to save his life) but somehow they managed to start playin for real with 2 minutes left & scored with 30 seconds left to tie it. Sharks continued to play well in overtime & Marleau won it in overtime. The last 10 minutes totaly made up for the earlier parts of the game. The Canucks kinda deserved to win that game, at least they got a point.

 

I ordered tickets to this game on Saturday, somehow their were tickets left - $42 each.
