The Shark Tank is suddenly an intimidating road stop once again as the home team has jumped out to a 2-0 lead. So much depth at forward.

Jumbo Joe is playing the best hockey of his career at 36.

Great start. Pavelski and Thornton taking it to another level this year and Couture and Burns are playing awesome as well. Jones proving to be a big improvement over Niemi and late stage Nabby. Marleau not doing much but the other supporting guys are playing great. Ward was a fantastic addition to this team!! Polak and Martin too.

Hopefully Vlasic ok after taking a Weber slapper off the noggin. Hertl looked a little sluggish to me near the end of the game after taking a nasty hit, hopefully he too is ok. Looked like he wasn't playing in his normal spot at the end of the game but might have been for shut-down purposes.

Oh man that slapper off of Vlasic. That's scary. Thankfully it was high enough on his head.

Gutsy win for the Preds beating the best road team in the team in the league last night. They finally get the power play rolling with an absolute rocket by Weber from the high slot in the 2nd period to make it 2-1.

We have ourselves a series.

Was at the Giants game (they got killed) and last I saw SJ was up 3-2. Got home to see it in OT so stayed up to watch. SJ was controlling early then Nash slowly took the momentum and finally scored. Barf.

I tuned in, roughly ½ way through the 3rd period, liked what I saw and stayed up late to see a really interesting game of hockey. I am glad I did although I paid for it this morning. I really thought San Jose was going to win this game but Nashville finally found some inner fortitude and potted the game winner. If nobody else is watching this series it is, very, worthwhile to tune in. It's a very good series and well worth the watch.

I caught this game from about period 2 onwards. I was captivated by the last game and am now hooked on this series. Some incredible physically demanding hockey with superb goaltending.

It's as good as you can get for playoff hockey. Somehow the Preds rise up and find a way for Rinne who was simply outstanding. I got the same sense I did the last game where just when it felt like the Sharks were taking over the game, the Preds find a way and fight back. They seem outmatched in virtually every department, but you gotta love the guts of that Preds squad. We'll see how Pavelski does back at the Shark tank with the team on his back.

Is there a bad series of the four? From what I've seen all four are really good and fun to watch. It's usually the first round I find most interesting but this year it seems to be the 2nd round that is turning out to be the best round to watch.

You are right, Kyle. I have been enjoying all four series.

What a backhand by Arvidsson in OT! This one's going seven.

Better be the Sharks tonight.......didn't realize how good the Predators team actually is.

Bettman Karma probably dictates that Nashville wins the cup this year....... :wookie:

Last game looked like much of the Sharks team packed it in after getting that early lead. Need the big guns to bring it tonight.

Sharks eat Preds in game seven. What's with the game seven blowouts?
