@SanJoseSharks photo: Game one stats the power play was in effect for the Sharks at the Honda Center on Thursday night as the Ducks look to even the score and the Sharks hope to take two back to San Jose tonight

On the NHL Stanley Cup/SJ Sharks podcast with Matt:

#1 How different do the Sharks look coming out of the gate during Game 1 of the playoffs in Anaheim as opposed to the way they finished up the regular season?

#2 How much has Evander Kane got this team fired up? He had them fired up when he first got to San Jose and he’s got them fired in his very first career playoff game.

#3 Scoring two goals in a game one on Anaheim ice in a series where the Ducks have home ice, Kane didn’t look intimidated whatsoever.

#4 If San Jose can come away with a win on Saturday night’s game two, do you see them finishing the job in games three and four?

#5 The Sharks really have many weapons on this team besides Kane with Brent Burns, Logan Couture and Joe Pavelski.
