Maybe I am biased, but Game 1 was hardly one to write home about. Getting excited about this series is not easy for me. How I wish the Red Wings would have been playing rather than the Sharks.
[Sharks-Nucks] 2-3. Nucks lead series 1-0. I watched this game and it was an odd one. First of all the Sharks outskated the Nucks for a large part of the game. The Nucks looked like they were having a hard time following suit. But they played smart enough to stay out of major trouble and actually outshot the Sharks in all three periods. But it were the Sharks who draw first blood, which was actually unexptected as just moments before Niemi was fending op multiple attacks by Kesler and Bieksa. Early in the second period Lapierre scored his first goal of the playoffs to equalise the game and seven minutes later the Sharks grabbed the lead again and for a while looked to be back in the game. But at some point the Nucks managed to regain control. It did not look pretty and each puck-possession was hard fought for but they kept at it and seven minutes into the third period Bieksa scored. A minute or so later Sedin scored the winning goal on a PP.
Well, judging by the way I wrote that up, I suppose I will be rooting for the Nucks, eventhough The Coins disagree. What Coins you ask?
