San Jose had set an NHL record for 3rd period comeback wins on Thursday, but Saturday's affair was a complete antithesis. Florida tied the game with a goal in the 3rd period, then took the 3 to 2 win in overtime. http://www.thefeeder.com/story/2010/10-0311-01.htm The Sharks looked like a team ready to mail in a loss on Thursday night after sleep walking through the first 40 minutes of play against the visiting Nashville Predators. Then came the eruption. Then came the 3rd period. Then came six goals in the final 20 minutes. In a wild turnaround, the Sharks torched the score sheet and stunned the Predators in an 8 to 5 barn burner at HP Pavilion. http://www.thefeeder.com/story/2010/10-0310-01.htm As the regular season heads towards the home stretch I thought I would take some time to look at a few issues other than whether or not the Sharks will be 'more ready' and 'more raring to go' than they usually are come the post-season. Taking a step back in time I wanted to give some kudos to the USA Olympic Men's hockey team. http://www.thefeeder.com/story/2010/10-0306-01.htm Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Steve Mason has had the Sharks number this season, so the Sharks figured that in order to beat him, they'd have to throw a ton of rubber his way. Applying a steady dose of pucks, they would wear down the Columbus defense and score a pair of 3rd period goals to take a 2 to 1 decision at HP Pavilion on Saturday night. http://www.letsgosharks.com/story/2010/10-0304-01.htm The Sharks post Olympic hangover was still in affect on Thursday night, but a pair of 3rd period goals helped to snap them out of their funk and break a two game losing streak. The Sharks battled back from a 3rd period deficit to a feisty Montreal Canadiens team at HP Pavilion. San Jose scored a short-handed, power play and standard goal to take a 3 to 2 win over the visiting Canadiens.
