Well, that first game did not end the way Shark fans would like.
A few bad bounces, some bad officiating and here we are. Sharks were victims of an early whistle on what could have been the tying goal, a missed match penalty, lost puck, etc.
The Blues were able to contain the Sharks top lines and power play. And Jones let in a goal that he’d probably like to not have given up.
The Sharks stayed off the ice on Monday instead, facing the media. Players know they did not play their best game, so promise to play better. Complaints about the officiating, complaints about the complaints. Opponent coach “suggestions” as to where to slot players.
Now, get away from the hype, to see the guys play the game on the ice to see what is decided in game 2.
You know the Sharks will come out with MORE. Including attention to detail and determination.
