velessaSecond game of the first round of playoffs, Sharks vs. Avalanche, Avs leading the series 1-0. Oh man, what an amazing game! So glad my class got cancelled tonight so I could watch it! My neighbors are probably sick of all my screeching and cheering. ^^;
Most of the game was actually pretty frustrating, though action-packed. I was getting pissed off throughout it because the Avs kept leading by one, and every time the Sharks scored an answering goal, the Avalanche scored right back, sometimes within seconds, to reclaim the lead. Nabby was off his game, seeing as the Avs and the Sharks had the same amount of goals, but the Avs had about four times fewer shots on goal than the Sharks. =\ The Sharks were really charging the net and getting tons of shots off and lots of great chances, but they just couldn't get them in like they should have.
So at the end of the third period the Avs were leading 5-4, and as hard as the Sharks were playing, it looked like they had little chance of scoring at the last minute. But then a break for my favorite player, my boy Joe Pavelski! He accidently blocked a shot with his leg right in front of the Avs' goal, and the puck dropped right at his feet and he knocked it in the net with only about 30 seconds left in the period! Tied it up 5-5! Phew!! The Sharks got another chance by going to overtime.
And thankfully, Nabby did much better in OT, blocking all the Avs' shots. The Sharks kept up their momentum and pressure on the Avs, and they drew a penalty when one of the Avs knocked one of the Sharks into the Avalanche net, knocking it off and getting an interference penalty. That gave the Sharks a power play in which they continued to whale on the Avs, and Devond Setoguchi, my second favorite, scored the winning goal! Sooooo awesome!!!
