Wow. Sharks win!!! They’re going to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time in the 25th year of existence.
Pavelski opened up the scoring in the first on a wrap around. Ward scored goals in the 2nd and 3rd (including series winning goal) — that third period goal was the last nail in the coffin of the Blues per post game comments from Hitchcock. Donskoi and Couture also scored. Tarasenko managed two goals – his first in the series – but it was too little, too late.
