Just about recovering from the Oilers game... They certainly know how to push the fans to the total limit. 2 goals early in the second and they sat back and allowed the Sharks back in, which sounds very familiar doesn't it. However, this was near enough 2 periods of backing off and the pressure built up and up. You knew the Sharks were going to score it was the matter of when and how long they'd have to get the next goal to tie the game. 7 minutes of hell to finish off a series for the first time in 11 years. Then to cap it off we give them a cheap penalty to put more pressure on us, and Draisaitl then breaks clear with an empty net. His frigging stick snaps as he shoots the puck for the insurance goal, I've got to say at that moment I felt they were going to pull the second back and force OT and probably game 7. Thankfully not, and we are now going Duck Hunting.
In 2006 we beat the Sharks 4-2, and then went on the play the Ducks and won that one 4-1, I can't imagine it's going to be that this time round, but I'd take it for sure. Going to be a tougher series for the Oilers, but they are now ready for this and hopefully the flu virus that has been in the camp goes and we are healthy as we'll need to be.
