The Kings were big like the Sharks and a little faster and matched up well against the Sharks.
The Wings are a Puck moving precision team. The don't have the team speed of the Kings and don't have the team size. They cannot sustain a physical series against a bigger stronger team. Its not their game. With two games in hand the Sharks can afford to lose a game and just pound on them. I think its great they are in Bersmoochis head. I can only hope he keeps taking penalties. I think the Wings tried to play a more physical game and that is not their style and will be a bad decision if they stick with it. They are older smaller and slower. There advantage is some high skill players. So far the Sharks D has been equal to the task and the Sharks number one line jumbo, Patty, and the Guch has shut down the Wings number 1. For the Wings to take the series at this point Howard will need to steal some games or the Sharks will need to fold. All in all I like the Sharks chances now. I think the Wings psych hold over the Sharks is dead and buried.

I don't expect any crutches being broken out about officiating. The Wings got beat by the better team on the ice end of story.
