Well, kids, it’s all over. The Chicago Blackhawks have won the Stanley Cup in Game 6 vs. the Philadelphia Flyers.

Sharks Handed Game on a Silver Platter

The Colorado Avalanche, also known as the underdogs, have been giving the San Jose Sharks a run for their money. The Avs have had to transition their game to nearly 100% defense to shut down the Sharks top two lines and they’ve been doing a good job of it. Unfortunately tonight in the Shark Tank, they were never once called for too many men on the ice. The Sharks had 9 total on ice at all times, not including Evgeni Nabokov, and four of them were wearing black and white stripes.

I’ll start off by saying that the better team didn’t win tonight. The Sharks pulled an over time win against the Avalanche with a shot from Joe Pavelski, screened by an Avalanche defenseman. It was a disappointing loss seeing how the Avalanche played worlds better than their OT win on Sunday night, getting more shots on goal and playing better defense. In fact, the OT win was the only even strength goal of the game.

This had to have been one of the most insane games at The Can this season. We saw Craig Anderson shut out the San Jose Sharks.

It’s only two games into the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. We’ve seen upsets from both Conferences and we’ve seen teams come back to tie the series. Last night we saw the Colorado Avalanche fall in overtime to the San Jose Sharks to tie the series at one apiece. The officiating for both games has seemed to swing in San Jose’s favor and the Avalanche have to work twice as hard to win.

Game Two of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the Colorado Avalanche and the San Jose Sharks. The Avs upset the Sharks in Game 1, outplaying the #1 Western Conference seed and winning 2-1. It was a night of upsets as the Montreal Canadiens also defeated #1 Eastern Conference seed, the Washington Capitals. So far these 2010 Playoffs have had more upsets than “what’s supposed to happen.” I like it that way. That’s real Playoff hockey.

Now The Fun Begins

“Now the fun begins.” Those are the words that came out of the mouth of Colorado Avalanche winger Milan Hejduk when asked about the team’s first round match up against the San Jose Sharks. While the Avalanche dropped their final regular season decision to the Los Angeles Kings, they’re already looking forward to the postseason – and so are we!
