your opponent when they’re down butterfly go tenders are most confident when they’re in that position but once they drop it often exposes the top part of the net that’s exactly what happens here in a beautiful shot by the shooter the Sharks now have the lead here in Period number three and it’s crunch time now it is crunch time and it’s Crush times James I mean it’s been back and forth all game now you find yourself in the lead so you have the momentum you’ve killed your opponents so continue to hold it continue to apply the pressure H grab by declair hurdles got it against the boards and he

unfortunately went off the post and out throws one up to paner takes a wrist line he scores and someone’s Beed up with his second of the night yeah I expected he’s going to be looking for the hatti because he’s been all around the paint tonight James showing off his skill set typically the golender may stop this Puck James but I don’t think he could because he wasn’t set to position that’s what happens when you have a dzone [Music] turnover the Sharks extend the lead to two here in Period number three still early but you got to love that lead now I want to know what was said in the intermission here James because they came out with a Vengeance they really dictated pace and they get rewarded for it and with the two centers tangled up the Winger skates away with it I don’t think

here in the offensive zone grabs the puck and that doesn’t reach the net nice Zone entry on the left side and now he moves it quickly to fox trying to shap the defender he’s in Den on the break away theour has been a Workhorse tonight James and there’s just another example of it and the entire bench knows that they’re invigorated by it I mean he’s on his way down he’s stumbling and he’s manages to find the puck and get a shot on that that’s tenacity at its best CL it to the middle and that’s stopped across the line that goes off the post and stays out the Rangers they’re trying to shrink their deficit in this game they’re playing aggressive in the offensive zone and they just wire one off the post as they try and Claw their way back in and that cars off a body in traffic now he takes it over the line from the point they take control of it takes a shot denies him with the save and the puck stopper jumps on top of it to get a stoppage in play Ferraro’s been light in the L with this point streak playing so confident he knows where he is on the ice and it just seems that every time it makes its way towards the net the Puck’s going in Call’s won the face off and now let’s see what they can do close save shurkin got it and the officials blow the play dead this is a smart play he’s been dialed in all night and recognizes that he doesn’t want his team to make any mistakes the safe play sometimes is to hold on the Sharks continue to lead here in this third period they’ve been the busier team offensively can they take advantage after winning that draw steps in front of the shot

New York’s got it and they’re on the attack oh one timer safe wow San Jose gained the line and into the Zone from right out of midair he pass it down what an entertaining game James a lot of goal calls for you as it’s been back and forth action in the offensive zones not much defensive structure to this one as everyone’s looking to attack San Jose he’s got the puck along the wall looking for space inside the dzone gaining momentum along the wing oh had a chance to make a nice move and the puck disagreed with him got a lot of flash to his game in particular with his hands and the ability to manipulate his opponent but he gets caught on that one and the puck dies on his stick both sides mixed up for that battle for the puckle along the wall picked off in the offensive end oh my goodness it stay out what a save it was all but in James and that athleticism and the will to get to that puck that was on display the sharks have it now put some open space at Center approaching the final minute of Regulation smart heads up play to neutralize the threat from off the wall and onto a stick here’s a shot scor and three is the magic as he picks up theck a hattick for the first one this season James and they say that when the Pu comes to you it isn’t just Lu he’s all around it then you got to do something with it he vares it three times that’s what you call taking advantage of a fortuitous rebound and you have to be able to smell it and S it out because he has great hand ey coordination be able to pick that one up and put it in the back of the [Applause] neck the Rangers have suddenly put themselves into striking distance to even things up here in the third and it’s tough when you’re on the other side of this you can feel the wave coming and you’re not sure how to stop it so they have to find a way to continue the pace and put them on their heels and just attack the N intercepts the pass at Center sends a pass over too much congestion blocks the shot passed up ahead poked away at Center by Kar desperate for a goal here they’ve got the extra attacker out seconds Celli slugging the puck poked away at Center by paner great defensive effort with the stick a chance to ice it into the empty net That’s All She Wrote from this one s Jose’s quick start the difference in this one Cheryl yeah but the last 40 minutes boring and sometimes that can lull you to sleep as you find a way to protect the lead but man they’re lucky that they didn’t get bitten as they didn’t really generate any after the first great night of action on the ice and I can’t wait to do it again I know you can’t wait either so we’ll see you next time and real soon at that [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
