Seeing two Pacific Division rivals going head to head is always very exciting. The hated Dallas Stars came into the Shark Tank thinking that they could leave with a win. They thought wrong, Logan Couture and Jamie Mcginn scored in the first minute of the first period, devastating the Stars.
The Stars offense started to come into action after the two early goals by the Sharks. Dallas tallied twice tying the game in the second period. The game started to get a little chippy with a couple scrums after whistles.
Halfway through the second period, Ryane Clowe scored to make the game 3-2. Dallas took a step back on their heels which gave San Jose the green light to destroy the Dallas Stars' defense and goaltending. This flury included goals from Brad Winchester and a goal by Torrey Mitchell. This onslaught discouraged the visiting team.
Also Anti Niemi had a couple of brilliant saves. One in particular that really caught my eye was the save against Jamie Benn. I like the way Niemi stuck with Benn and had patience all throughout the game. He never fell for any of the dekes, or fakes, from Benn. Anti Niemi's net minding is what is keeping the Sharks in close games.
