Great two games by the Sharks yesterday and today. They now have sole possesion of first with the Hawks road loss tonight.
First they absolutely destroy a struggling Flames team 9-1. This was a very very chippy game though. Flames wanted to try to play rough but the Sharks took it and gave it back. Took my son to this game after his hockey practice. He scored a goal in his scrimmage. WOOOOT! He was jacked up for this game and made it the whole game. Pretty good for a 4 yr old.
Phanuef was Phanuef poking and pushing guys and looking for a big hit, but when asked to dance he skated away twice. Was glad to see him as a -4 on the night. I just dont respect guys that try to lay people out and then runaway when its time to answer the bell. Here Staubitz hits him and asks him to dance. He lets Prust fight his battle.

Later in the game he was poking and hooking Shelley behind the play running his mouth. Shelley asked him to go. Phaneuf skated to the bench. I just have no respect for Phanuef. Borque plays a chippy game but at least he answers the bell for his actions.
Sharks followed that up by beating division rival LA 5-1. The kings did take the season series, but it was nice to see the Sharks take the last 2 games of the series.
Bersmoochi does not score in the redwings loss. Not looking good for the bet unless he has a few big games.
