from Helene Elliott of the LA Times,
Sharks center Joe Thornton found a heart, the Ducks lost a chance to pull off an upset and the teams’ playoff series became a lot more interesting—and at least one game longer….
The example provided by Thornton—who had scored the Sharks’ first goal and assisted on their second—ensured the Sharks’ season will last through Monday at the Honda Center. A seventh game, if necessary, will be played Wednesday at San Jose.
“Everything is fine and dandy right now,” Sharks Coach Todd McLellan said, “but we’ve still got a noose around our necks and we’d better be prepared to play even better than we did tonight.”
Ducks Coach Randy Carlyle questioned the legality of the winning goal.
“The reason the puck went in the net is their player pushed our goalie’s pad,” said Carlyle, whose team had scored twice early in the third period to get back into the game.
“As he pushed our goalie’s pad . . . the back of his skate knocked the puck in the net.”
