This road game against the Islanders was a slow game untill both teams started getting their offenses dialed in. It was awesome that the Sharks scored a quick goal to start off this game.
With only a few seconds into the game, the Sharks started up their power play. Seconds later, Joe Pavelski scored to start the game off 1-0 in the first period. The Islanders end up tying the game, then went ahead soon after.
Fortunately, the Sharks had an answer as Logan Couture scored to tie the game at 2. Not too many scoring chances came by as the game headed into overtime. After about 20 seconds of overtime went by, the Islander defenseman Travis Hamonic took a penalty, leading to Brent Burns' overtime goal, which was a laser of a shot.
This is not a game that I would remember because it wasn't a very exciting game until overtime. I am hoping the the speed to some of these games would pick up.
I agree, the pace of games like this can be slow and dull. What do you think the Sharks can do to pick up the pace? If you were coach, what would you do to fire up the team?
ReplyDeleteIf I were the coach of the Sharks, I would improve the efficiency on our power plays. I would also create more traffic in front of the net to prevent the opposing goalie from seeing the puck. This is how I would hasten the pace of our games.
