Chuqui’s philosophy on game 1

Here’s my view on game one in a playoff series. It’s not a big deal.

Game 2 matters. 2-0 or 0-2 going to the other building? Huge. Split thegames? Doesn’t mean much. So losing the first game isn’t critical — as long as you win game 2.

Ditto games 3 and 4 in the other building. A loss isn’t critical. Going down 2games or losing that third game? Huge.

So the sharks have to winsunday.

Duh.

But watching how the sharks played, if I knew the sharks would play that well the rest of the series I’d bet on them, but it won’t be easy. They need to crank it up a notch. Thornton and. Markeau need to show up anddlminate. More sharks in the slot fighting forrebounds instead of watching them. Nothing major, it’s in the details.

So I’m not worried.

Yet.

Well, not much.

    I'm pretty much in agreement with you on that. They played fine... the bandwagoners are flipping out. They just need to score on that powerplay and that means lke you waid, Thornton & Marleau. Line 2 should have done more too.
