Winning Play: A championship lesson
Stan Szeto-USA TODAY SportsThis might be the most dangerous San Jose Sharks squad in franchise history.
Before last night, the Sharks were on pace to finish the regular season with 302 goals. This would be 37 more than their previous franchise high of 265, set in 2005-06.
The defending champs, however, taught San Jose a championship lesson in their 5-1 victory.
“We couldn’t outscore our problems tonight,” Peter DeBoer acknowledged.
These problems started from the get-go, when a Joe Pavelski (8) offensive zone penalty led to a T.J. Oshie power play goal. This erased a brief Sharks lead.
Pavelski fessed up, “We killed a few too many penalties. It took away a little bit of our momentum.”
