01:40and he sidesteps the check there
01:42oh it stays out he's got a piece of that one
01:46stretches one out to celebrini
01:49he's got a lot about benson's own possession time
01:51and you gotta figure he knows he's running goal away from his next milestone
01:55and manages to clear the zone
01:59handles the pass from the right wing
02:01the sharks looking against the half wall
02:04moves it in front
02:05and he shuts down a great scoring chance there
02:09good fight for the puck along the boards
02:12the sharks can control the puck against the wall
02:15san jose has got possession here in the offensive zone
02:19big time stop there
02:21and look at this
02:22they're really wretcheding up the intensity here
02:25and finally they get it out of their own end
02:27and here they go in transition
02:29what a steal in his own end
02:34shot denied by the goaltender
02:36scores
02:37as he taps it in on a second effort
02:40i just love this play james
02:42i mean you take the initial shot
02:43but you follow it up
02:44and you still have the eyes to find the puck
02:46and put it on your stick
02:47and then bury your chance
02:48that's a great play all the way around
02:51well this is what it means to play direct
02:53you get the shot off
02:54you continue towards the net
02:55and you get your own rebound
03:14the sharks have to be feeling good about this start here cheryl
03:17yeah i know it's not rocket science james
03:19but you certainly play different when you have the lead
03:21than when you don't
03:22and when you're the away team
03:23and setting the tone
03:24that's a good start
03:26statement's quick stick
03:28lands from the puck here at center
03:35it is a new game
03:41and it's never over right james
03:43because they've been behind in this game
03:44they've been chasing it
03:45but now they tie it up
03:47and you can certainly feel the energy
03:49created with that goal
03:52i really like this shot james
03:54it's about accuracy when you recognize
03:55there's a screen net from the goaltender
03:57he's down in the butterfly
03:58trying to make himself as big as possible
04:00not big enough for that shot
04:13st petersburg's even things up
04:14and sheryl given how early it is in this game
04:16i like the direction it's going i like the direction it's going
04:18yeah it's a jarring start right you wind up behind the eight ball right away
04:21it's not the start that you would have wanted
04:22but your response is key
04:24i have your veteran leadership stand up
04:25you got to find a way to assert yourself into the game
04:27they did it
04:30moves around along the half wall
04:31and that pass attack is deflected
04:34up the block and the puck skips away
04:39they are really fussing here at the offensive end
04:42under siege and finally grabs that one and covers up for a whistle
04:47captain is playing with such confidence right now
04:49and he's got this point streak going
04:51and when that's happening for you
04:52you're having a ton of fun putting up the points
04:54quick pass to lillgren
04:58takes the pass
04:59looks to get the puck over to smith
05:01quick feed to wimber
05:03poked away by lazad
05:09huck sent over to ferns
05:13two people on the wall by wimber
05:19skidland's gained the line and on the attack
05:22the sharks have it against the wall
05:26san jose is looking to break out of their own end
05:29gaining momentum along the wing
05:33huck picked up by bastion
05:37streaking into the attacking zone for the right
05:40quick shot
05:41that's a textbook saved by vodokovic
05:49still lots of time left here in this frame
05:51the next goal could be a big one as we are tied
05:55here's a short pass to lillgren
05:58oh and some smooth skating to lose the defender there
06:08the game is all about timing here james
06:10and now they're in front so these next few shifts are critical
06:13they want to play with a ton of energy and keep their opponent guessing
06:17well this is an unlucky bounce as a defender
06:19you're in the middle of the ice trying to clear out any kind of traffic and the puck just hits
06:23you
06:24deflects and goes into your own net that's a tough one to take
06:27the next few shifts are critical because you know your opponent they're either going to respond or they're not if
06:49they don't respond and you're on your toes you push them back and you look for a second
07:00this is a great reactive save
07:02this is a great reactive save i mean he sees the puck at the last second and is able to
07:05get his body in front of it
07:06that is tough not easy to do he found it and he made the save
07:10san jose's got the puck inside the defensive zone
07:14here they come on the rush
07:16goes right to the crease
07:17he scores
07:20what is going on two goals in a minute ten james
07:22anybody who just got up for a quick snag is probably looking at the scoreboard go up
07:27what happened
07:28well don't blink the game can change in an instant
07:30absolutely
07:32well this is a goal and it exemplifies that speed kills in particular through the neutral zone i mean you
07:37get an odd man rush and everyone's moving as you cross the blue line you have numbers you're gonna make
07:42your opponent pay
07:50san jose's capitalized on their offensive abilities here in this first period
08:04and now it's over to koonin
08:07dishes it to o'brien
08:09handles the pass
08:11to his teammate
08:12it's a contact sport people there's proof right there
08:17and the puck is scooped up here into the open ice
08:20but it
08:21cook feed down low
08:24huge play in his own end to come up at the puck
08:29and he dodges the poke check there
08:34what the stop
08:40i'll tell you what james that ain't incidental contact that was intentional certainly trying to really drive that body and
08:47separate the player from puck
08:53inching closer to the midway mark of the period
08:56san jose's got a two-goal lead they'd love to build on it
09:01st petersburg's won the draw
09:04through the open ice they're picking up steam
09:07the sharks have it from their own end
09:10and he's pulled over to the ice and loses the puck
09:18and he's pulled over to the ice and loses the puck
09:40and putting out the fire in front
09:41and putting out the fire in front
09:46more than half the period has gone by hope you're enjoying this one
09:49then jose's got a three-one lead smith's won the draw
09:54way off target
09:56he brings the puck here at the point
09:58and that's picked off at the defensive end
10:03and he takes the dish
10:07back to the point he's set it up
10:09here's a shot
10:10and there's the save
10:13and now it's grabbed by walensky
10:16he carries the puck up along the way
10:20moves the trophy over to scott
10:22st petersburg's got control of it now from their own end
10:25broken up in the neutral zone by winberg
10:28and the puck departs the zone
10:32and there he moves it to kurashev
10:34and that's picked up by stinlin
10:37moves it to the middle
10:39and it goes off a stick and a target
10:42and he avoids the poke check with some great edge work
10:46moves it to eklund
10:47oh they telegraph the pass and he picks it off
10:51here's a shot and that's broken up
10:55and he takes the feed
11:00turns it aside with the glove
11:03and they'll cover it up forcing a stoppage in play
11:09san jose's got the lead here in the first as they have been the more dominant team in the offensive
11:14area
11:15the sharks take possession here inside the offensive zone
11:19shuts them down
11:22into the offensive zone
11:25sends the puck across
11:28slides the puck over
11:31here's the shot
11:41goaltender covers it up we get a whistle to slow things down
11:47face off coming up here in the attacking zone
11:49well they'll want to put their foot on the gas pedal here sensing that the goaltender's
11:53overworked right now and let's face it he can't change
11:57that is what a big draw on their own end
12:00hawk moved over to control
12:03grabs it in his own end
12:04over over
12:09handles it a lot of blue line
12:11stopped by the goaltender
12:13and the goaltender grabs that one for a whistle to try to slow things down here
12:19getting into the later stages of this period
12:22the sharks are up 3-1
12:25puck is dropping he wins the draw here in the defensive zone
12:29gets it over to celebrini
12:32san jose's got the puck on the defensive end
12:49i love how aggressive he plays the shooter on the inner slot here james
12:53he knows that he's got to take away the net so he gets out and challenges to make the save
12:58the sharks have controlled this game here in the first period more shots more goals
13:05and he takes the feed that's a beautiful pass save on the goal there
13:11round along the board's buffer fold there's a shot and he makes the save
13:17great positioning by the goaltender to redirect it to the corner getting it out of danger
13:22oh we'll get some tired defenders as icing is the call
13:27face-off looming as both centers get into position
13:37they win the face-off here in the road and to take possession
13:41st petersburg's moving it into the offensive end huge deal at his own end
13:47again when you're losing james that you want to get something going you want to spark your team
13:50you have the puck on your stick but sometimes you can try and do too much and i think that's
13:55the product of that as he loses the puck can't keep a hold of it as he's jostled off the
13:59puck
14:00little prince stick handling in his own zone
14:06tiptoes around the poke chip let's see what the officials are calling
14:12captain's called for tripping he's off to the box once the stick engages at the lower
14:18half of the leg or within the skates you know it's going to be a tripping call
14:30this power play is ranked top 10 in the league guys they are extremely dangerous here and with
14:36the first one of the night let's see what happens
14:40the sharks win the draw and they go on the attack here in the offensive zone
14:44oh good field now what a block well he's firing all cylinders here getting to that shot lane he
14:49really anticipates the greatest threat on the ice and he makes sure that he redirects that puck
14:55quick pass to smith
14:59ellis negates the scoring opportunity james really quick to set to position and face the shooter dead on
15:06here's a sprint for the loose puck
15:08san jose's got it from behind the net slides it diagonally to wendberg
15:15the sharks take it along the wall here's a chance stopped by the goaltender
15:21an attempt to clear the puck from deep inside his own end
15:29san jose's gained possession along the boards
15:32gains the zone along the right wall
15:37takes the shot and makes the same
15:40there's the whistle we'll get a face off after the goalie covers up
15:47special teams so important can they capitalize on this power play here with a face off
15:55back of the way as he wins the draw inside the offensive zone
15:59turn that one aside
16:03there's the horn ending the first period both teams will have a chance to regroup
16:07you do you and we'll be back with period number two in a moment
16:11this time is in the race for us especially price diamond tonight our game team scarf priced at just ten
16:18dollars
16:18hurry into our main store as supplies are unlimited
16:22remain
16:22and
16:31it's
16:32it's
16:34it's
16:43it's
22:47Celebrini's at the face-off dot, ready to win this draw on the man advantage.
22:51The Sharks win the draw.
22:54The Sharks win the draw.
23:19And there it is.
23:21What I really love about this power play is it isn't predictable, which means the PK doesn't know where that
23:31puck is going.
23:31That's how you're going.
23:33That's how you're going.
23:35That's how you're going.
23:38That's how you're going.
23:43That's how you're going.
23:58That's how you're going.
24:00That's how you're going right, James, because they're going right, James, because they're doing everything right.
24:02They've been dominating play in all three zones, and they've been rewarded for it.
24:06That's how you're going.
24:18That's how you're going.
24:22That's how you're going right tonight, James, and then just have a look at his save percentage, and he's making
24:25the stops that he needs to.
24:27But man, his team's played well.
24:28They've got going north.
24:29They've created opportunities, and the reason why they have a healthy lead.
24:33Glenn Dennings won the faceoff here in the offensive zone.
24:37Tucker's got it against the boards.
24:39Takes a shot.
24:40Oh, Harley!
24:42Keep it out!
24:43What a blocker stop by Ned Delcovich.
24:47Pharrell's picking up steam.
24:49And now he tries to get it across to Smith.
24:52The Bears have it now.
24:54Picked up along the boards by Palat.
24:58Enters the offensive zone from the left.
25:01Heaps it over!
25:02And will play on as that gets a piece of the block.
25:05Oh, just a great heads-up play by Khrushchev.
25:08The Sharks are dominating play, in my opinion, James.
25:11This all starts to be looked away from the cover.
25:14And they do it again and again and again!
25:18Now the coaches will be preaching, listen, have no mercy.
25:21Continue the pounding, continue the beating, because they are on hold.
25:28Well, this goal has it all.
25:29I mean, you have to shake your defender, which is not easy to do.
25:32But it's power, it's explosiveness, and then the recognition that you created the lane for yourself.
25:37I love it from start to finish.
25:39That's a tremendous goal.
25:56The Sharks are playing what might be their most impressive performance that I've seen all season, and we're only in
26:02period number two, Cheryl.
26:03Yeah, I mean, their offense has simply exploded, hasn't it, James?
26:06I mean, they have been a force to be reckoned with, and it's a ton of fun when you're patting
26:10your sides.
26:13San Jose's got a hold of it along the wall.
26:17Wentworth's got it across the line.
26:22And he takes the pass.
26:24And now it's towards on.
26:27Right side, set up ahead into the middle of the ice.
26:30San Jose's got the puck.
26:34Takes that pass back to the corner.
26:36This is the best.
26:37Well, you utilize possession to get scoring chances, James, and they got the look that they wanted.
26:41They just missed.
26:42Not even opportunity for...
26:43One-on-one with the goaltender.
26:46Still works.
26:48And the pylon continues, and these home fans, I think, have had about enough.
26:54Yeah, they have had enough, and they paid money, and they're leaving the building.
26:58Why?
26:58Because they are frustrated with their teams.
27:01It's a lack of effort today, and just getting blown out of the water.
27:05I love his awareness on this breakaway.
27:07His head is up the entire way, and he's reading exactly what the goaltender is giving him.
27:12He sees some daylight, quickly shot, and he buries it.
27:25San Jose's got a lot of skill on this roster, and we are seeing it in full effect.
27:29And we're only, what, halfway through this game here, period number two?
27:32Yeah, it's pretty impressive, isn't it?
27:34I mean, the confidence in which the entire lineup is playing with is outstanding.
27:37The puck's on their shift.
27:38They're working their magic.
27:39They're manipulating their opponent, and they're filling the net.
27:47The Sharks continue to lead big here in this second period.
27:55St. Petersburg's won the draw.
28:00Quick feed to Strudel.
28:03Takes the feed.
28:04And just got a piece of it to keep it out.
28:15The Sharks have been on fire offensively tonight, and they lead for good reason here in the second.
28:25And they'll start with possession.
28:29Here's a short pass to Strudel.
28:31Turned aside with the glove by Nedeltovich.
28:34Covers it up, and we'll get a stoppage in play.
28:40San Jose's coaches were preaching lots of shots on net, and they have done it and lead as a result
28:45here in the second.
28:47Stenland's won the draw.
28:48Stenland's won the draw.
28:48Now look to center.
28:51Moves it quickly over to Strudel.
28:53San Jose's got the puck in their own lane.
28:56Avoids the poke check and maintains possession.
29:00Moves the puck along the half well.
29:02Reads it perfectly, breaking in the club.
29:05And it's road C. Moves it to Stenland.
29:10Moves up ahead here in the neutral zone.
29:15Here's a chance at Strudel.
29:17And he denies that great opportunity there.
29:20Oh, and it's another save on the play.
29:23Not sure if anyone's helping him out there, but he's kind of good and doing it all himself making consecutive
29:28saves.
29:29Big time.
29:30Back up.
29:30Well, he's doing what it takes, James.
29:32And listen, Coach is going to love that one.
29:34I expect to see him out here again.
29:36Takes it right in the chest.
29:40St. Petersburg's had a tough time from any momentum in this game.
29:43They're beaten in all areas of the ice.
29:46And you certainly don't want to look at the analytics in this one.
29:48The only good part, they have some time left, is obviously back in.
29:52Oh, what a chance wide!
29:54Well, this is frustrating, James.
29:55You do everything to get to the right position.
29:57You put yourself in a grade-A scoring area, and then you miss.
30:01That's frustrating.
30:03Fees the puck to Purosev.
30:05And now he passes it to Drury.
30:09Muffs the shot attempt.
30:12San Jose's got the puck in the corner.
30:15Quick pass to Orla.
30:17It's a shot!
30:19Ellis freezes the puck and opts for the whistle.
30:25San Jose's offense came to play in a big way, and they lead big time here in the second.
30:36St. Petersburg's got a hold of the puck.
30:40Chase the feed.
30:41Quick feed to Glenn Denning.
30:44And he slides it quickly to Pallott.
30:48Back to the ball line.
30:52Here's a short pass to Lazan.
30:55There's a shot!
30:56And he gets in front of that!
30:59Celebrini's got it in the defensive end.
31:04Takes the feed at center and moves forward.
31:08He's got a step!
31:10And the score!
31:12Net is knocked off.
31:14We'll get a face-off here.
31:19San Jose's message was clear coming into this one.
31:22Lots of shots on net.
31:23And they lead here in this second.
31:28Play resumes here as he wins the draw inside the offensive zone.
31:35Slides it across!
31:37Moves it quickly over to Lazan.
31:40Takes the feed at the point.
31:42Stopped by the goaltender getting a piece of that one.
31:49Pock possession so critical.
31:51Another face-off coming up here.
31:55Smith's run it off the face-off.
32:01St. Petersburg's regained possession to the puck.
32:05Looking to make something happen to the offensive zone.
32:08Moves to the puck in the corner.
32:10St. Petersburg's got the puck along the wall.
32:14Moves up from the court.
32:16There's the whistle as the puck's dumper likes to hang on.
32:32St. Petersburg's got it, and they're on the attack!
32:35Got it!
32:37Sons of the puck!
32:39It's scored!
32:40It's won an opportunity!
32:42And the blimbers!
32:50The goaltender, he's gonna want this one back, James.
32:52I thought that he was set to position.
32:54Just the blast of the shot, it hit him.
32:56He got a good chunk of it, but it went in.
32:58You can see the frustration in the body language.
33:13St. Petersburg's gotta find a way to build on this now.
33:16They've got one.
33:17Yes, it's a long way to go, but something.
33:19It's something, James, and they've got over half a game left
33:21to find a way to put it in the back of the net
33:23with all the possession time they've had.
33:25They need to execute.
33:26Can't keep a hold of it.
33:29Puck exits the zone.
33:32Right up Main Street and on the attack.
33:39Handles the puck at the point.
33:42Purses it over!
33:43What a steal on his own end!
33:46The pair is now holding the puck to the open ice.
33:51Dishes it off!
33:53And makes the same.
33:55Karek's return to the line-up certainly gives his team
33:58some added boost in offense as he gets a dangerous shot
34:01right off the hop.
34:03Karek has won!
34:04Good ball!
34:05He's got all of it!
34:07Has no point!
34:08And that's intercepting!
34:10And it's a quick pass to Karek.
34:14Fires it on net!
34:16Oh, that's a huge stop by Natukovic!
34:19What a fantastic save from a high danger scoring area, James.
34:22And he's bailing his team out.
34:24They have to do a better job of protecting the middle of the ice.
34:28Here's a pass in front!
34:30Oh!
34:30And he whiffs on it!
34:32The Sharks scoop it up along the boards!
34:35And now they look to make something happen from the neutral zone!
34:39Ten chances around the check!
34:41Big time stop there!
34:43Well, a nice save by the goaltender and even better is that he redirects the puck to the corner to
34:47safety.
34:48Moves it to Struble!
34:51Handles the puck!
34:55The Sharks can possession in their own end!
34:59Can't keep a hold of it after that hit!
35:04Quick pass to Lizotte!
35:06Loses the coverage there!
35:10And they cough it up at center!
35:12Shakes off the defender with some nifty moves!
35:16The Bears have a hold of it in the defensive zone!
35:22Slides the puck up from the left side!
35:26Here's it!
35:27Oh, that hits the cage!
35:29That's using your head!
35:31You see goaltenders working with traffic and practice all of the time,
35:35and the goaltender is able to find this because he's dialed in,
35:38his eyes are on the puck, and he doesn't lose sight of it.
35:40Oh, they telegraph the pass, and he picks it off!
35:44But you play the game differently depending on the situation,
35:47and when you're up, you gotta know it, and you gotta game manage,
35:50and you gotta puck manage.
35:51That turnover, coach isn't gonna like that one at all.
35:53That feeds the puck away!
35:56St. Petersburg's got it near the point!
35:59Oh!
36:01It's in the net! It's in the net! It's in the net!
36:17Well, he had his eyes on the puck, he trapped it perfectly,
36:20and got himself set to position, James.
36:22I thought he had it, he got a good chunk of it,
36:24but he didn't get it all.
36:44The Bears finally get some momentum going their way now.
36:47Can they sustain it, though?
36:49It's gonna be tough, James,
36:50unless they can string some shifts back-to-back together
36:52where they do create momentum and have possession in this game.
36:55You have to look for a raise to be first to the puck,
36:57be relentless on it.
36:59That's what changes energy.
37:00Puck leader is home!
37:02Tremendous stuffed ball that comes!
37:05Well, Grade A scoring chance taken away from the inner slot
37:08because he's so aggressive and gets to the top of his crease.
37:12Puck possession so critical in today's game,
37:14and the official ready to drop the puck right here.
37:19The Sharks win that offensive zone faceoff.
37:22The guys are going to save!
37:26Claver, he's moving it ahead.
37:28Here's the pass down low.
37:35And there's the horn bringing the second period to an end.
37:40All right, they say three is the magic number.
37:42Period number three is coming up next.
37:47If you wear your vintage jersey to our next game,
37:50you'll receive a coupon for a great murder.
38:23So that we're going to run off,
38:25we'll get you on the next game.
38:27So let's look at the new word.
38:28We're going to get you.
38:29We're going to take you.
38:29We'll close you to the next game.
38:30So let's go.
38:30We're going to set you down.
38:30Cool.
38:34Now let's go.
41:37Two-thirds of the way to the finish line, and this one's a regulation time show.
41:41How do you view it?
41:42St. Petersburg's put in a strong effort tonight, James, and there's 20 minutes left, so there
41:46is some runway to claw their way back into this game, especially when they've dominated
41:50possession time.
41:51Now, this can be frustrating at times when you feel like you're holding the puck and
41:54you're going nowhere, but at the end of the day, it's all about cashing in right now and what
41:57you can do in these last few shifts to make a difference.
42:02Fees it to O'Brien.
42:06And he was ready for that one.
42:08loose puck battle along the boards.
42:11Loose puck battle along the boards.
42:11Tosses it on to Celebrini.
42:14The Sharks gain control of the puck against the wall.
42:17San Jose's got it in their own zone.
42:20Here's a short pass to Ackland.
42:23Great poke check on the reach.
42:27Take it along the wall by Orloff.
42:30From his own in, he moves it up ahead.
42:32St. Petersburg's got the puck inside the defensive zone.
42:36Burrows is right in the heart of the action tonight, contributing offensively with multi-points.
42:41Well, there's going to be a call on that one, James.
42:44Moves it quickly over to Orloff.
42:46We got a stoppage.
42:48Let's get the call.
42:51Palat's getting two for interference here.
42:54He's off to the box.
42:55The game is getting out of hand.
42:57You're down by a bunch.
42:58You take another penalty.
42:59You've got to find a way to just reset your composure.
43:08San Jose's got another opportunity here on the man advantage.
43:11Well, they've already scored tonight on the PP, James,
43:14and looking to really thread the needle again on this one.
43:17Their movement, their adjustments have been excellent thus far.
43:21D'Angelo's got the puck in his own zone.
43:25Angles it over to Wenberg.
43:28San Jose's moving it up the ice.
43:32Wenberg's able to corral that pass.
43:34He's got the puck on his stick.
43:35You know he's dangerous.
43:36He's got two in the game.
43:37He's looking for another.
43:38Shucks him down.
43:40These are the small space skills that some of these athletes have nowadays.
43:44They work on it continuously in practice.
43:46But to maintain possession while you're being jostled and shoved around,
43:49it's incredible to see the hand-eye coordination and the balance
43:52in this sequence to take it to the net.
43:54He takes a shot.
43:56He can't stop.
43:58Well, he makes an incredible save on a point-flank shot here at James.
44:01I love the way he's aggressive.
44:02He's competitive and he wins the battle.
44:04Makes the save.
44:11Toffoli's been sniffing him around the net all game long.
44:14Multiple scoring opportunities.
44:15Finally going to connect on the last one.
44:17But if you look at his body of work over the course of the game,
44:20he's had a lot of sustained pressure in the offensive zone,
44:23and he's been a real threat.
44:34Carrick's ready for the draws.
44:35They will continue to try to kill off this penalty.
44:45Off the face, off.
44:46They take the puck.
44:48Sends it over to Kurzy.
44:51Receives the pass.
44:52Oh, I thought he was going to be beaten,
44:55and he somehow got a piece of that.
44:57Rebound control is critical in the game of hockey.
45:00Putting it to the corner,
45:02and now the offensive player has to hound the puck.
45:04Get some pass, but it will come on.
45:07Well, these are the saves when you know
45:08that your goaltender has dialed in, James.
45:10The ability to get to the top of the crease
45:12and be square to the shooter, that's a great save.
45:14And a great save!
45:16Puck is frozen, and we'll get a face-off.
45:20Tadakovic just dialed in right now.
45:22Just have a look at that last save.
45:23I mean, he had to be moving extremely well in his crease
45:26to be able to get to position to make that save.
45:38O'Brien's recognizing they're still short-handed here
45:41as they get ready for the face-off.
45:48Clay returns as they win the draw
45:50here inside the offense itself.
45:52The truck's gonna hold the puck in their own end.
45:55One-on-one with the goaltender!
45:57Oh, wow! What a save!
46:01Goaltender hangs on for the whistle.
46:05Ellis has to make an outstanding save on that last sequence
46:08to keep the puck out of the net.
46:10Simply outstanding to be able to get to the top of his crease
46:13to make that save.
46:24Celebrini's ready for the draw on this man advantage.
46:31O'Brien's won the face-off.
46:33And now he moves it quickly to Bastian.
46:36And he slides it quickly to O'Brien.
46:39And forces a huge turnover here with the steal.
46:44Gains the zone through center.
46:46And he makes the easy save.
46:48Stooped up around the wall by Abrams.
46:51Moves the puck to Burroughs.
46:53Good use for the body on the play.
46:55With a hefty lead.
46:57The team looks comfortable.
46:58And certainly that power play did.
47:00Yes, they didn't execute.
47:01Didn't seem to have the urgency that they had earlier in the game.
47:05And that's out of reach and out of the offensive zone.
47:09Grabbed along the board by Bastian.
47:15There's the whistle.
47:17Icing the call.
47:17Big face off looming.
47:21Tudelkovich has been dialed in and tracking extremely well tonight, James.
47:25Everything that's coming at him, he can see.
47:28And that's something that is really critical in the game.
47:30You make the timely stop that's needed to give your team some confidence in front of you.
47:45The Sharks have a significant lead here in the third period.
47:49They have brought their A game tonight.
47:54St. Petersburg's got the puck after winning the defensive zone face off.
47:58Tries to get the puck over to Bastian.
48:01Here's the pass.
48:03Picks up along the wall by Percier.
48:06Takes a shot.
48:08Shuts him down.
48:10Good Rose moving the puck through his own zone.
48:14St. Petersburg instead of holding it against the wall.
48:21Draws him for the puck and it's knocked away.
48:25Gets it over.
48:27Moves it to D'Angelo.
48:29Grumps so on.
48:31Ref blows the whistle as the puck's covered up.
48:36San Jose's been on a roll all night long and they continue to lead in the third.
48:42Get off the draw, they'll take possession.
48:46Puck scooped up by the puck.
48:50St. Petersburg's got a hold of the puck now.
48:53Great move to sidestep the check.
48:56Into the corner, he takes the pass. Slides it back to the blue line.
49:01Oh, it's a great shot block there. Well yeah, I mean it's a great A scoring
49:05chance and you want to make sure that you get in front of that one and he gets all of
49:09it.
49:10St. Petersburg's got the puck along the boards.
49:13Obey Kubel's got on the offensive end.
49:17Oh, what a blocker stop by Nikosovic.
49:20Quick cross ice pass to Orla.
49:24Great feed from the left side.
49:27There he is on the backhand. Big time stop there.
49:33Reaction time is so critical for goaltenders because the way the players shoot
49:37in this game today. Man, it is so tough to stop.
49:40Though this one, instincts.
49:42Glove goes up, makes the save.
49:44Both teams are set, they're ready to drop the puck.
49:47Smith got the puck and they'll go on the attack.
49:51Fantastic save!
49:52Quick pass to Glenn Denning.
50:00Takes the feed at the backhand.
50:04Quick feed to Lozod.
50:06And that goes off course off a body.
50:09Passes up ahead from the left wing.
50:12Here's a short pass to Lozod.
50:15Sends a pass over.
50:21Goes to the crease.
50:23And that turns off one of his teammates in front.
50:27Pushes it across to Wendberg.
50:31What an entertaining game, James.
50:33A lot of goal calls for you as it's back and forth action in the offensive zone.
50:38Not much defensive structure to this one as everyone's looking to attack.
50:45Moza quickly over to Barron.
50:48St. Petersburg's caught it along the wall.
50:52And that doesn't reach the net.
50:56Beautiful read in the defensive end by Blankenberg.
51:00And they'll go the other way with a great play by Stenland.
51:04Stones up with the blocker.
51:06Oh, here we go.
51:08This team knows how to turn it up another gear and they have done that here.
51:12Seattle's up next on the schedule.
51:14Tickets still available.
51:15Go to the box office or you can get them online.
51:18The Sharks offense has been the story tonight as they continue to lead big time in the third.
51:25The Bears win the faceoff.
51:32And the ball tender comes up with a piece of it to keep it out of the net.
51:40San Jose's motor has been non-stop tonight.
51:43Lots of shots on net and they lead in the third.
51:48And they take possession off the draw here on their own end.
51:53And who tosses it to Stanley.
51:55Moves the puck over to Celebrini.
51:59What a piece.
52:00They've got some bodies here on the attack.
52:03On the attack along the boards.
52:05Battle ensues the right.
52:07Moves the puck around the boards.
52:09Quick pass to Toffoli.
52:11Taken by D'Angelo.
52:13Nice zone entry on the left side.
52:16Picked off by Ekman.
52:17When you trail in a game, sometimes you try and do too much.
52:20You're overly aggressive when you try and do a high risk, high reward play.
52:24And that's exactly what happens here.
52:26Unfortunately, it goes the other way.
52:32Officials getting ready to drop the puck.
52:34Puck possession so key in today's game.
52:40And Bryan's won the draw inside his own end.
52:44Now a quick pass to Fabry.
52:47Gains the zone to the middle.
52:49Knocks the puck down with a stick.
52:51Tries to feed it over to Krak.
52:55Puts it on net.
52:56Comes up with a stop.
52:59Tries to get the puck to Lazat.
53:01Oh, look at this.
53:02Right there, right there.
53:03And a shot.
53:04Oh, great save and a booty on the plane.
53:07This is just great puck control to put the puck to the corner.
53:10No second shot opportunity.
53:12And he slides in quickly to Pahal.
53:15And he turned there with a side.
53:16He's up.
53:17We'll get a face off after the puck stays covered up.
53:23The Sharks have definitely used the shoot first mentality
53:27and look at the score here late.
53:33Outfits his own face save and he wins the draw.
53:37Slides it across.
53:39Picks feed to Pahal.
53:43Here's the opportunity.
53:44Lift up with it to stop the puck.
53:46And we'll get a whistle here with a stoppage of play.
53:48Well, and this is a smart play, James.
53:50He makes huge saves all throughout the game.
53:52And this is a smart decision to be able to preserve the league.
53:55He knows exactly where he's at.
53:56And he gets a much needed face off.
54:12And it stays out of the net.
54:29San Jose's got the win off that track.
54:39St. Petersburg's got a hold of the puck.
54:43And he sidesteps the check there.
54:45Oh, what a save on the play.
54:50Fires it into the offensive zone.
54:53St. Petersburg's got possession of the puck.
54:57Sends the pass over.
54:58Here we go.
54:59A man rush here.
55:06A shot.
55:07And that's plucked from someone in front.
55:10Almost down to the final minute here in this third.
55:15Most equipping over to Albuquerque.
55:20Curses it over.
55:22Shot.
55:23Gives him nothing in front.
55:30Tedelkovich has made a great save on that last play.
55:32Taking away a high danger chance because of his ability to anticipate and know where the
55:35shooter's coming from.
55:48Officials have got both teams ready.
55:49And it looks like play is set to resume here.
55:56Cerebrini's gained possession and his great work inside.
56:00The face-off circle pays off again.
56:03St. Petersburg's got the puck in their own end.
56:06The Bears take it across the blue line.
56:12Dishes it off.
56:14Locked in traffic.
56:16The Sharks have played for the defensive zone.
56:23St. Petersburg's got a hold of it along the wall.
56:28From the open ice, safety in the line.
56:31San Jose's got the puck.
56:35Poked away in the neutral zone.
56:39The Sharks gained control of the puck.
56:42Oh, it's a great lead.
56:43And that goes off.
56:45Someone in front that doesn't reach the line.
56:47Time taking away.
56:48And he comes up big.
56:50There's the final horn.
56:51And that'll do it here this evening.
56:53This is one of those games where you could probably look at and go,
56:57the numbers lie here, Cheryl, because I don't know if the right team won.
57:01Analytics don't always tell the story.
57:03Sometimes it's the eye test.
57:05And I'm telling you, they had a great counter punch and were opportunistic.
57:08It's the reason why they won the game.
57:11Well, that'll do it for all of us here at EA Sports.
57:14I'm James Sobalski, and we will see you next time from Rinkside.
57:17Rink expelled.
57:23We'll see you next time I got the choice.
57:24We'll see you next time.
57:24Bye.
57:29Bye.
57:31Bye.
57:33Bye.
57:35Bye.
57:40Bye.
57:47Let's go.
58:17Let's go.
