Sharks vs Avalanche 160126 – recap

That was nice.  Sharks rolled through the Avs 6-1.

Pickard, fighting the flu, managed to play two periods, giving up 4 goals.  Rookie Roman Will made his NHL debut and played (part of) the third period, giving up one goal.  And crazy coach Patrick Roy was pulling his goalie late in the 2nd period, and 15 minutes left in the 3rd trying to tie it up.  (Sharks did get one ENG.)

But there were some defensive break downs and sloppy play with the big lead.

Now Burns and Pavelski travel to Nashville for the ASG.  The rest of the team is off until Monday, with a late afternoon practice before heading out on the road for a game Tuesday.
