What a game tonight in San Jose. Back and forth all night long and once again Joe "big" Pavelski was absolutely on fire all game long. He was all over the ice, and his line with Clowe and Setoguchi so far is the best line in this series. It was such a great game to watch on both sides, with hard hitting, and Detroit bringing it's best and San Jose bringing it's best.
One thing I noticed about the Sharks tonight though, they played with a swagger I don't think I've ever seen the team play with. All season long one of the things I notice when they lost was that it almost seemed like they didn't show up, didn't want to show up, or just lack emotional fire. I say always, win or lose, play like you give a damn. Well tonight, the Sharks had this new confidence that was not there since the Game 5 Marathon in Dallas a few years ago. It was just amazing to watch and made for a very exciting Hockey game.
Going into Game 3, I am absolutely thrilled they are up 2-0 instead of a split. Detroit is such a tough place to play and if they can steal a game, hopefully in Game 3, than that will be great. I still want to see more production from the Top line, and once again Marleau is non-existent, but keep that swagger going. It was incredible to watch.
