San Jose's Sharks, seemingly more than aware that past playoff performances haven't put them at the top of anyone's pool list, are doing their best to change some impressions this playoff year, some solid play in St. Louis and a split in their series may yet have fans of the teal looking forward to the end of April and into May.
With a victory in a game one marathon, the Sharks appeared to be ready to recapture much of the anticipation of years past, seeming to banish the season of woe that they endured in 2011-12, then the same old Sharks showed up for Game Two.
It was a game that highlighted why there is so much chatter about the Blues this year, as they shook off the disappointment of game one to reassert themselves in the playoff series with a solid 3-0 victory.
Game three takes both teams to the Shark Tank, we have a pretty good idea which St. Louis team will be on the ice, for many, the jury is still out as to which team in Teal will be in attendance.
Game Three-- St. Louis 4 at San Jose 3
St. Louis leads the series 2 games to 1
