Too Many Power Play Goals For Sharks To Comeback

((HT: NHL on NBC/nhl.com))

Usually, when you score three goals in a little less than two minutes, odds are you've got the game locked up...

Game 4 was locked up by Vancouver- especially when Sami Salo scored two goals within 16 seconds of each other. The Sedins had 7 assists between them...

Before today, Salo had only scored once in the playoffs. But the defenseman had the hot hand, and he was fed...

Really... who had Salo in the pool...???

Here's Strades, Panger, and Engie...

The Canucks can wrap this one up on home ice Tuesday night...
And don't think the arena will be rocking...

Vancouver drowns the Sharks take 1-0 lead

The only real question in this series is who is going to choke the worst in this series. The NHL Western Conference Finals is featuring two teams known more for blowing opportunities than success in recent years.

The Vancouver Canucks got off to the good start, coming from behind and beating the San Jose Sharks 3-2 Sunday night.

Both teams barely made it to this series with the Sharks floundering a 3-0 lead before winning game 7 the other night against Detroit and Vancouver letting a far inferior Nashville team stretch them to 6 games.

The game belonged to Henrik Sedin who assisted on the game tying goal early in the 3rd period and scored the game winner with a little over 11:30 left in the game.

Game 2 is Wednesday night in Vancouver.

Wonder Twin Power!

Well, you can scratch 2 names off of the NHL free agency ledger. To the surprise of few, the Vancouver Canucks have come to terms with the Sedin brothers on a new 5 year contract at a nice price...$6.1 million a year.

The details from TSN here .

Already, despite poor economic conditions the NHL has been busy. From the Penguins re-signing Bill Guerin to the Rangers trading Scott Gomez...we are only a couple of days in and the money and contracts are flying. Stay tuned...because there is undoubtedly more to come.
