After all, if Joe Pavelski scores the game’s decisive goal with 2:40 remaining in regulation, in the first game after the Black Cat of the Tank that blessed the Sharks with “good luck” – at least that’s what some are saying – was revealed to be named “Joe Paw-velski,” what other word would you use for it?
Coincidence? Ironic? Strange?
Perhaps all of the above, although “perfect” seems to properly cover it.
Another thing that’s been nearly perfect has been Pavelski’s performance in the playoffs thus far. Six goals in seven games, tied for league’s playoff lead in goals.
