San Jose has opened up a commanding 3-0 series lead, looking every bit the dominant force they did late in the season when they rung up an eight-game win streak. Monday night, the Sharks put an exclamation point on this dominance with an explosion of eight goals to the Ducks lonely one. Racking up eight goals is a franchise playoff record, and currently is the highest goals scored in a playoff game this postseason.
Scoring that many goals can cause everyone to lose track of exactly what happened and how it went down. There were a lot of good plays and very encouraging signs wrapped around the high goal output and it points to a larger sign that the Sharks’ offense is quite good.
