Winning Play: Simek, Radil completing Sharks
Brace Hemmelgarn-USA TODAY SportsThe only problem with the solid defensive hockey that the San Jose Sharks were playing? Halfway through a scoreless tie, the Minnesota Wild was probably playing better.
28 minutes in, Sharks color commentator Jamie Baker observed, “Both teams are really working hard. This is a heavy, hard game.
“What’s going to break it? Is it going to be the Sharks’ fourth line? There hasn’t been any power plays. Somebody drawing a penalty?
“Gotta stay with it though. The mental fortitude is so important in a game like this.”
A shift later, San Jose’s fourth line, composed of Lukas Radil, Barclay Goodrow and Melker Karlsson, would make a prophet of Baker.
