Sharks vs Predators PDF Game 2 160501 postgame

And it looks like the Sharks continue to write their own/new story with home ice not being the issue it “seemed to be” during the regular season, as they are up 2-0 in this series.  (And they are the only team left playing that hasn’t had a regulation loss.)

Game 2 pregame news/links

In past seasons, the Sharks might have a late lead but be unable to hang onto it.  This spring, the Sharks are putting their foot on the throat with more force and confidence, scoring extra empty netters and late goals, regardless of the score.  This came in handy Sunday night when the ENG was the GWG after the late extra attacker goal by Nashville.

Also a huge sigh of relief after Vlasic was hit in the visor by a Weber slap shot (and suffered no injury!).

Black aces get tapped for playoffs.  (That’s goalie Aaron Dell; defenseman Mirco Mueller; forwards Ryan Carpenter, Nikolay Goldobin, and Barclay Goodrow.)
