Sharks @ Kings PDSF Game 1 – 160414

And game 1 is in the books.  Sharks were able to overcome bad luck and some dubious officiating to get the win.

The Sharks scored seven goals: four behind Quick and two own goals; plus the officials missed crediting the Sharks for a goal.  (So the final score could have been 7-1?)

NHL playoff rookies Donskoi, Karlsson and Tierney played quite well.

Kings did not play as well as they could, so even with the Sharks up 1-0 in the series, all that means is there’s three more wins needed, and they get harder to get the further you go.

Kings lost Martinez (missed 1+ periods).  And Gaborik didn’t play.

There’s at least another three tough games in this series.
