Quietly another really nice game from Vasy. Starting to stack good performances together. Nothing super flashy, but making the saves we need him to make which is exactly what this team needs from him. Really encouraging because that’s the key to this teams playoff success.
5 in a row. Thank god the team showed up in the third. Playing Vasy to guarantee the two points ended up being a good decision, especially when they were under pressure in the second.
That 2nd period had me worried that we were becoming the NHL’s Kentucky😅
Glad that didn’t happen
It’s finally bed time
Bless me with that Bucs Rays Bolts highlight. Mishkins call is going to sound like the voice of a god damn angel.
Yes, i probably will go insane again during the Anaheim/LA games
Good game all around. The forecheck/backcheck never let up. The key men got in the game when it mattered. Duke and Dumba have been immense. Awesome seeing Lilleberg back in the lineup.
Niki’s assists were great to watch, we’re getting our mojo back
Great dub. Nice work boys
Kuch is an absolute animal
u/pinheadrecords Is it even worth it to make the video? 😂 Poor Mish
Technically a successful road trip cause we’ve earned 6/10 possible points
All’s well that ends well. Duclair needs to stay on the top line, he is so damn good. 5 straight!
I fuckin love Duclair.
Kuch doing Kuch things
Vasy is getting his mojo back.
Pointer is killing it.
Loving what we’ve seen the last 5 games. Keep it going boys!
Kuch got 4 points that’s what I like to see
Hagel’s face and the ice surface, name a more iconic duo
No idea why the Sharks fans are Mad tbh/ they’re just being crying pissants because they couldn’t spoil our chances. Wings need to get lost also.
I would like to cast my vote for mvp for Nikita Kucherov, winger from the Tampa bay Lightning.
Earlier this year…hell earlier this month…I didn’t think they could beat many teams in a best of 7 games. Now…well now I think they can go up against anyone and win a series. Getting hot at the right time. Sharks commentators were super complementary to TBL and especially 86 & 88.
Duclair has been a godsend
Way to go us!
It was pretty nice the announcers acknowledge Coop about how he has not won Coach of the Year .. longest tennure, B2B Cups, even they seemed dumbfounded by ALL his success and noted games in playoffs should coumt for that since those games get tougher than regular season .. Just glad someone else noticed how bad he has been shafted by the league.
