With a gold medal, a Hart Trophy and a load of other accolades, Joe Thornton has never been the other Joe on the San Jose Sharks until this year’s playoffs. Everyone on San Jose is taking a back seat to Joe Pavelsk this postseason. After Pavelski tied the it early in the third period with his second goal, Thornton ended his playoff drought by knocking in a rebound with 7:23 left that gave the San Jose Sharks a 4-3 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday night to take a 2-0 lead in the second-round series. “Whatever planet he’s on, I think everyone wants to get on it with him,” Thornton said about Pavelski, the former Wisconsin star in his fourth NHL season. “He’s just been so consistent—he’s been awesome. He really has been.” Thornton’s one goal this postseason hasn’t come close to matching Pavelski’s production with an NHL-leading nine. But it helped make sure San Jose would head to Detroit with home-ice advantage intact going into Game 3 on Tuesday night. http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/recap;_ylt=Ao82AlXUGT95DVOZu0p8ttd7vLYF?gid=2010050218
Wth TBF... Anyways. Last I saw the game was 3-2 Wings. I fell asleep watching America. Wasn't to interest in this game... Can the Sharks reach the finals for once?
I won't get ahead of myself. Obviously NHL playoffs are a little more volatile than NBA but I still stick by the saying that its not a series until a team wins on the road. 2-0 lead for the Sharks means dick. Pavelski is a fuggin stud.
Im not getting ahead of myself. I'm just curious to see if the Sharks can advance, past the dreaded Wings.
The Sharks have been good at taking massive amounts of shots all playoffs long, so it's nice to see them finally start to get more and more in. Hopefully they can win Game 3 and put out the Wings by game 5.
