Game 7 @ SJ!

The San Jose Sharks have always had a pretty solid team. Their only problem comes in consistency; much like many sports teams, they are having difficulty bringing their A game to every game. This is no more apparent in the 2011 Playoffs that they should have won two games ago against the Detroit Red Wings. The Sharks were once winning the series 3-0 (in a series out of seven, this means they only needed to win one of four to move on), but will now be entering game seven tied, three games to three games. Games 1-3 were all close, but the Sharks came out on top due their ability to but the puck in the net. Game five however, they blew a 3-0 lead to lose 4-3. Like all playoffs, the Sharks and Red Wings have been switching off where the games are held and LUCKILY game seven is here in San Jose. All of the games have been decided by one (or two in Game 6) goal (2 were even in overtime). Game 1: 2-1 SJ; Game 2: 2-1 SJ; Game 3: 4-3 SJ; Game 4: 4-3 DET; Game 5: 4-3 DET; Game 6: 3-1 DET. While some may say confidence will bring the Red Wings out as the victors, stats in the NHL prove that only four teams have ever come back from a 3-0 game deficit, but none have come to win the last and final game. Hopefully this will be the boost the Sharks need to never have a close game again. I’m still betting on the Sharks, and now I’m Just Kickin’ it Around….
