Yes, great effort. Were unphased by falling behind and maintained
consistent pressure on Nashville all night. Used their size to
advantage. Forechecked them to death. That works wonders for this
team.

They do need to pick that power play up off the floor, though.

Now, it's on to Detroit or Anaheim. Game 5 at Detroit ought to decide
which.

P.S. My nomination for sissy call of the series: the "roughing" call
on Rivet for merely knocking down an attacking puck carrier with a
shove. That rotten call resulte din the first Nashville goal.

Cake? I know their "Arco Arena"; I didn't realise they did a
"Nashville Arena" :-)

It was a strangely called game, in general. The Ehrhoff interference
penalty was weird too. It was just two guys fighting in front of the net,
and the smaller guy going down. Then, the bonehead spears Ehrhoff's package
right in front of the ref. Look carefully, the ref doesn't raise his hand
until the spear. The interference call was tacked on later, for some
reason...

The Sharks can play anyone left in the west except Calgary. If Calgary wins
their series, the Sharks play the winner of Vancouver/Dallas. If Detroit
wins and Dallas wins, they play the Ducks. If Detroit and Vancouver win,
they play Detroit, which seems the most likely possibility. We'll know more
tonight...

Yes that was too obvious and completely infuriating. Are they going to
call the game straight up or not? Apparently Betteman and his office
cannot decide.

Last night's game in Calgary was pretty much wide open with only a few
bogus calls. It sure makes watching a lot more enjoyable.
