Friend of the Blog Kevin Kurz took some time out of his busy schedule to answer four questions for us. You can find his work at CSNBayArea.com and his Tweets @KKurzCSN.
1. What impressed you most about the Sharks in the first round?
Martin Jones’ performance stands out, since the biggest question mark for me headed into the series was how he would match up against his old mentor. But, the way the Sharks played in their own zone in front of Jones was just as impressive. They were fully committed to getting in front of shots, and did a great job clearing pucks and bodies out of the way from in front of the net, too.
