That's a bullshit penalty on Wingels too.  It wasn't a hook, the Kings player grabbed Wingels' stick on his way down.  Not that it really matters.
 
The only choke the Sharks haven't pulled in the last decade is blowing the 3-0.  They come close a couple years ago against Detroit but won game 7 at home.  Odds are very good it happens Wednesday.

306, row 14
San Jose nearly pissed away a 3-0 lead a few years ago in Detroit before winning game 7 on home ice. Let's see if they do it again. 
 
The big question is who do you put in net. Niemi has been shaky, and even though Stalock played pretty well tonight, they didn't really get the desired affect. Tough spot for McLellan.
 
Whoa, nice bout there between Couture and Richards.

How do the Sharks not get blown up when they complete this collapse?
 
They just extended everyone's contracts this year.  Thornton, Marleau, Burns, Pavelski, Couture, and Vlasic are all under contract through 2017.  Boyle is the only major UFA this year and he's not coming back unless he takes a huge pay cut.  They might shop Niemi but his salary is reasonable and his deal only has one more year on it.  For better or worse, they're bringing back the same core next year.

Might be the best thing for San Jose if Thornton can't play in game 7.
 
No way.  Thornton's not been the problem.  Couture has totally disappeared in this series and they don't have the horses on D to match up with the Kings' forecheck, especially without Vlasic (by far their best D-man).  The goaltending has been pretty mediocre too.

Arturs Irbe on Wednesday?

Gotta be uncomfortable for San Jose. Letting a 3-0 lead slip away and having to play a game 7 is bad enough. Throw in the goalie on the other side is capable of beating you even if you play your A game.

Oh, toughen up. We can laugh about it now.
 
If 2011 hadn't happened, it would be a different story.

You have to be more mature, Realness. Something like this is a more approriate response:

I'll try to be more troll-y in the future in response to troll-y posts instead of just calling it out as troll-y.

For a forum that used to provide itself on having a thick skin and giving each other good natured shit, we as a forum have gotten awful whiny lately.

FaH had a good burn, Ed Hillel's was good right back, and FaH responded back in kind. In the game thread. Lighten up or I'm going to be forced to make you do a shot of Jameson as punishment.

I heart this post unconditionally.

Except if I forced you to do a shot of Jameson, you'd probably throw up all over my jacket.
