Well Sharks stay unbeaten at home against the Blues although it was one sloppy game and comes with a cost.
I'll go bad news first. After Nabby made that last save in the shootout he definitely wasn't celebrating. He was face down on the ice and looked like he tweaked his knee somehow when he made that left pad save. It's too soon to know the extent of the injury, but it didn't look good as he left the ice putting no pressure whatsoever on his left leg *cringe*.
On to the good news. It was nice to see the Sharks battle and comeback from a 2 goal deficit and two 1 goal ones. You can see how tough it is in the past couple games when our breakout isn't working. Everything in this new system comes from that break out and when that break out breaks down, the Sharks cant seem to generate speed else where to enter the zone. Hopefully we can find a way to work around teams who are going to try and play the trap against us.
A couple other things I noticed was how the flow of this game seemed to get disrupted all game long by the numerous penalties called on both teams and the puck bouncing nonstop didn't help either. It was definitely frustrating to watch til the end when Clowey took over.

The CSNBA feed showed him incredibly ticked off and bleeding after he was hit from behind (btw he needs to tighten his chin strap because his helmet fell off so many times. In fact during the play he got cut in the face, he didn't even have his chin strap on...) and a couple shifts after we saw the beginning of what would be a great night for Clowe.
Great comeback as Sharks now hold the best record in the NHL. That feels really good to say.
Anyways, just a short recap to help out Mr. Plank. Next game is Saturday Nov 8th vs. Stars.
GO SHARKS!

A friend and I were debating whether it was his knee or his left hammie. I couldn't tell (after rewinding and watching it about a dozen times) whether he twisted the knee a little just as he was extending the leg out, or if he just over-extended the leg so quickly that he gave the hammie a little pop. Either way, very scary. But I have faith in Boucher and our defense being able to step up if Nabby is out for a bit.
Pollack and sjsharks.com are reporting Nabby is day to day. Griess has been called up as well.
Chicken little time anyone?
I think we're going to be alright.
