Nabokov had pretty strong round 1 and they believe that he is their #1 goaltender. That guy is not soft, it's just that SJ hasn't had much success against the Wings in the regular season in their history until this year. They, however, beat us in the playoffs, long time ago when Larionov was still with them.

5 Sharks to watch

FACEOFF: JOHN NIYO SCOUTS WINGS-SHARKS SERIES

I don't think that's what Wings were hoping for - being 2:0 with only 10 minutes gone in the 1st. Timeout by Babcock.

Our penalty killing is atrocious. That's the only thing that kept Calgary in the series, and now SJ scores on their first power play. Wings have all the talent in the world. Why can't they kill penalties? Anything to do with coaching? I love Babcock, but this?

This is going to be a tough hole to climb out of. They need to play better than this game ( if that's even possible). Lang needs to step up, not sure what's wrong with that guy. We miss Holmstrom, and SJ is just very big, skilled, and fast. Where did all the offense go? This series is far from over, but it will be tough and I'm not sure that Wings can get it done at this point.

Didn't Babs come from the Sharks?
I think the Dominant Hotshiat needs to steal about 4. Only giving up 2 goals is supposed to be good enough.

During our power plays, the Sharks did a good job of clogging up the net area. We need some tip-ins and some more effort killing off the penalties..............A shut-out at home - first game is a big stinker.

No, he was a Duck.

Dang,TFD. Better be careful when you go swimming if you can't tell the difference between a duck and a shark!!!!
