So it's now a best 2 out of 3, as it should be and really to no one's surprise.

The Sharks and Kings each won twice against each other in the regular season. San Jose was 2-2-0 and LA was 2-1-1 losing one game in the shootout but winning a relatively non important last game of the season. Total goals in the regular season were 10 for San Jose and 13 for LA.

In the playoffs the series is tied 2-2 both teams holding serve at home. The Sharks have scored 7 goals in 4 games and the Kings have scored 8 goals. This series is a mental and physical battle that is testing the resolve of both teams. In other words it's playoff hockey at its finest.

Some thoughts on the first 4 games:

* The Sharks played one of their best periods in a long long time to start game 4 led by Captain Joe Thornton. I think he reminded everyone the type of leader and player he is and he has a great supporting group around him that he makes better.

The San Jose Sharks have run smack into the path of playoff adversity, and the circumstances by which it has arrived have been exceedingly uncomfortable for players, coaches, and the fan faithful.

There will be those who wish to abandon ship. There will be those who wish to crawl into the fetal position in a corner of a room, or who prefer to engage in an endless session of hand-wringing, assuming that the worst is here. There are no such characters inside the San Jose Sharks’ dressing room.

In a sense, Game 2 was a case of the hockey gods giving one back to the Kings, in a returned favor from an even more unlikely Sharks playoff comeback at the Staples Center just two short years earlier.

It was Tuesday, April 19, 2011, and it was another playoff game between the Sharks and the Kings. Los Angeles had just won the previous game in the series, 4-0, with Jonathan Quick picking up the shutout. Unlike this season, it was Game 3 of the best-of-seven playoff series, but it was also at the Staples Center, since L.A. didn’t have home ice advantage.
