commentary...

simply put,Sharks lost emotional control,and game control,when Vancouver scored first four goals,to go from 3-2,after two periods,and in the game,to being down,7-2,in about 8:46,of playing time,in third period... this is eighth straight loss,in conference finals' games,dating back to 2004,for the Sharks,and the ugliest loss,because they lost the game,and their tempers,at the same time... at least,Ben Eager lost his cool,in playing like a goon,in third period,and the penalties were stupid,and really cost the Sharks goals,and this game,but honestly,Vancouver hammered the Sharks,with a power play,that put game out of reach,in middle of third period... Antti Niemi played goal in first two games,like a paper target,giving up all seven goals,in this game,and ten goals overall,in this series... unlike the Red Wings,Blackhawks,Lightning,and Bruins,who all overcame a two game lead,or more,in various series this year,to win,or to force a seventh game,the Sharks look like a team in total disarray,and their defense,against Vancouver,really sucks,and that can,and will be lethal to their chances,and that will not survive the Canucks' potent offense... going home down,2-0,in games,Sharks look like a beat team,and the way that they played really sucked.... Sharks need to tighten up defense,and Niemi needs to play like a NHL goaltender,and even though he won Stanley Cup,with Chicago last year,his overall save percentage,and his goals against average(G.A.A.),in those series,except in Red Wings' series,has been anything,but sterling,and yet he has been on winning teams,in Chicago,and San Jose,in the last two seasons,but Vancouver led NHL,with the best power play,goals scored,and fewest goals allowed,and had best penalty kill,this year... the Sharks are in deep trouble,because their overall offense have suffered,the only area that is clicking is the power play,for the Sharks,where they have scored four of their five goals that they have scored,in the first two games,and it is easier to shut down a power play,than to shut down regular offense... when the Sharks have scored only one even strength goal,in first two games,to Canucks' six even strength goals,they are in deep trouble,because Roberto Luongo is going to play better,in this series,guaranteed!!!!!!!!!
