Randy's celebrating muffled it, and the ecstasy kinda stopped me from picking up the rest. Saw this linked to on Puck Daddy and chuckled when I heard the screaming.
Still pissed about the ice crew coming out during the loophole "there's no commercials in ot so it's not a tv timeout, it's ice maintenance!" timeout that the rink administered. Inexcusable even if it wasn't meant to be malicious.
The Sharks beat Anderson because they did something they can't do very well... be unpredictable. The Avs hadn't seen Murray beast over two defensemen and I think Anderson might have been distracted. That, plus the screen by Foote, plus Pavelski's good wrist shot.
The Sharks will need to do something out of the ordinary every game on out to get goals, whether it be something like the winning goal tonight or a broken play.
I love Murray and am very happy about the part he played on the GWG, but he's looked atrocious in the last two games. Handles the puck like it's about to explode, and he seems to be getting knocked over behind the net easilly. Fatigue? Altitude?

Terrible regional sports network.
Actually, in the postgame interviews, Boyle admitted to sucking wind at some point in the game. Not much of a stretch to think that Murray might have had similar issues, at least for Game 4.

and I can only imagine the amount of energy it takes to get his lumbering legs going...Wouldn't be surprised if he was a bit "tiiiirrrreeddd" like brodie asked. hahah.
"brodie: you look tiiiiirrddd...."
"murray: wtf you want me to smile or somethin?"(I think murray thought brodie meant he looked a little down instead of looking enthusiastic after the win)
I've been forced to watch their broadcast because the stupid ESPN Europe service never carries a CSN feed if there's an alternative. The TV crew just can't **** about some inane "facts" and how "awesome" the Avalanche are.
Just because they managed to do well in the playoffs ten years ago doesn't necessarily mean the statistics from the Floppa-Sakic-Roy era are relevant today.
Terrible, boring homers. I wish I could get Randy and Drew.
VS had Randy and Drew. Also since DVR cut into other shows I had to listen to Dan and Jamie on the laptop and it was 5 second delay between the online stream and that. But anything so I didn't have to hear the Avs homers!

I agree, and especially on the powerplay. This is where I don't like Joe's attitude of "we just have to keep doing the same thing, the goals will come."
If you pound your head against the wall like that, you may get 3-4 ugly goals in a game like game 2, but you should also be prepared for 2 straight games of no goals from that type of play (like games 3-4). AKA, it's not going to get you there.
Sharks need to be just slightly more unpredictable - not cute, still relentless, but willing to do something a little different every once in a while. Definitely on PP as well, or else we won't get out of this series for the ridiculous bounces, altitude, whatever.
the Murray Smash!, someone needs to get a screen cap so I can hulkinize him.
clowe skating around like he just won the series but didnt actually score the goal or even get an assist
Clowe did get the secondary assist I believe. Pretty sure he made the nice little pass to Murray, and Pavs got the puck after Murray's shot was blocked/dropped.

I just didnt think they gave him the assist but I havent checked the box
