Barclay Goodrow<\/a>, and I think a reason why coaching staffs like him. Trouba hits a stationary Goodrow with a pass in the NZ. Goodrow is not going to start from a stop there, he doesn\u2019t have speed there and would be easily checked off the puck if he tried. The offensive play there is a pass to speed coming from underneath, but there\u2019s no Shark there, no speed around him. Goodrow doesn\u2019t force an offensive play that could end up in a quick counterattack, he eases it back to Trouba, who plays out the clock. Yes, it would be great if Goodrow could go 0-to-60 like Celebrini and fire a cannon on entry, but Goodrow knows who he is, and that is indeed the right play. When coaches talk about knowing the clock, that\u2019s an example of it.<\/p>\nPeriod 2<\/p>\n
Khusnutdinov goal: Dellandrea line one-and-done one way, can\u2019t keep the opposition line from getting on the cycle. Net front open again.<\/p>\n
8 in: Dickinson great backtrack, just rips it from Hagens. Decisive defense. It was a 2-on-1 before Dickinson recovery.<\/p>\n
9 in: Misa having a good game, insistent on forecheck, draws a Zadorov slash.<\/p>\n
10 in: Then on the PP, Misa goes through Khusnutdinov to get the puck in corner, crowd doesn\u2019t like it, but there you go, that\u2019s using some speed and strength. Misa has been quietly very good in puck battles this year. Makes me think when he catches up with pace, he\u2019s going to be a load. In traffic, he still has issues with quicker decision-making. But Marchment gets called for interference in the middle of this PP.<\/p>\n
8 left: Not sure why Nedeljkovic chose to play that puck on PK? His guys seemed tired too.<\/p>\n
Orlov penalty: And another penalty. San Jose Sharks playing with fire here. Gut check time.<\/p>\n
Sherwood goal: Huge! Sherwood steals it as F1 on PK. E. Lindholm telegraphed pass, didn\u2019t see Sherwood right on him. San Jose Sharks needed that shot in the arm so bad, while they\u2019ve been able to keep the Bruins from the middle on the PK, you can\u2019t play half a period down a man.<\/p>\n
Kastelic 10-9 Kesselring, but gotta give Kesselring credit for fighting his own fight there. Got boarded by Kastelic, looked vicious, Kesselring gets up and handles it himself. On replay, while I do think Kastelic held up a little, it was still very forceful in a vulnerable spot. Looked like a board to me that he got away with, San Jose Sharks should be on a power play, but they\u2019re not.<\/p>\n
1 left: Couple shifts this period, Stenberg still negotiating pace at 5-on-5. Can see it. He\u2019ll get it, eventually.<\/p>\n
Period 3<\/p>\n
Jeannot 10-9 Ostapchuk, but that was close.<\/p>\n
Orlov goal: He\u2019s got a clapper. Stenberg does a nice job, he\u2019s consistent on power play, drawing a man to him, getting the eyes of another PK\u2019er, then making that pass. Split-second for Orlov to get it through, it matters.<\/p>\n
Pastrnak penalty: Great job by Smith, makes a move, draws a call. Celebrini hasn\u2019t looked as sharp last two games, I have to say.<\/p>\n
Pastrnak goal: That\u2019s fast. Dellandrea can\u2019t receive a hard pass from Misa high in OZ, it\u2019s a turnover. Counterattack, and that\u2019s one of the best shooters in the sport. Shot might have glanced off Nurse\u2019s stick?<\/p>\n
Hagens goal: Oh man, that hurts. That hurts. Off the draw. Becomes a Boston 2-on-1 down-low. Not sure why Graf slow to tie up Hagens there?<\/p>\n
Allan penalty: Big kill here. Celebrini pleading San Jose Sharks\u2019 case, not sure what for? It\u2019s a high sticking that draws blood. Sharks need to get out of here with a point, that\u2019s the challenge now.<\/p>\n
Minten goal: But the Sharks can\u2019t do it. Dickinson last man on Minten there. He also had a chance to clear that Lohrei kept it in too, which led to quick attack. Peterka late man speed, San Jose PK had no answer there. But then, Dickinson a little slow on Minten, as Remenda points out, reacting instead of letting instinct take over.<\/p>\n
Smith goal: Marvelous by Celebrini. Just jukes with it, won\u2019t let H. Lindholm have it. That\u2019s the normal Macklin. Then Trouba hits Smith with a beaut seam pass and pure Smith finish. Great hockey all around. Sharks no quit, to their credit.<\/p>\n
