AP photo: San Jose Sharks Joe Thornton game three photo June 4th at SAP Center Thornton says he’s just going out to play his first shift in game six nothing fancy

On the Sharks podcast with Mary Lisa, until this series Sharks goalie Martin Jones didn’t have to be outstanding or steal any games or anything like that last game five he was outrageous it’s just the kind of game that makes the other team really kind of cranky and frustrated and the Pens shot 44 times and just came up short. That game reminded me of something from the move 300 the Sharks were perpetually under siege but they held off the Penguins long enough for that two goal win.

The Sharks in this series have been beaten mostly by the depth guys by people who are not named Evegeni Malkin, Sid Crosby, or Kris Letang of the Pens. It’s clearly important and it continues to be important that’s what the Sharks are doing and the Pens are doing it right back at them paying special attention to Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski.
