Tonight it was the Sharks unable to sustain the pressure of the first ten minutes of the game. (Actually, 13:01, the amount of time Niemi was in net, giving up three goals on eight shots.)

Sigh.

The loss pushes the Sharks further down an even larger mountain they have to conquer to make the playoffs.  (Stats someone on twitter quoted is that the probability of the Sharks making the playoffs is down to ~6%)

Regardless of their playoff status, the team should have the pride to play hard for 60+ minutes every night.

Pregame news/links

Sharks start a stretch of four games in six nights with a win.  But Hertl took a puck to the face in the third and did not return (reported that picture of him has cut on upper lip).  Karlsson also had a hit to the head, but returned after his quiet time and concussion protocol checking.

The Sharks’ Vlasic scored with 4.5 seconds left to win the game.

Sharks almost had another goal when a puck trickled down the back of Jets’ Hutchinson’s back to the ice just “outside” the goal.  So close.

Quick international flight to (still cold) Minnesota to face the Wild on Tuesday.

There is exactly ONE NHL game on the schedule Monday.  (Some may be paying attention to the WJC gold medal game — Russian Sharks prospect Nikolai Goldobin playing for Gold– which begins at 5pm as well; Bronze game starts at 1pm with Swedish Sharks draftee Julius Bergman playing.)

Joe Thornton has been put on IR (eligible to return Thursday in St Louis); Freddie Hamilton has been recalled. Micheal Haley has been returned to AHL Worcester (and Mirco Mueller is heading back from WJC).

Hutchinson seems to be the starter for the Jets.  Haven’t seen clarification of who’s starting for Sharks, but my guess is Niemi (and Stalock tomorrow).
