No moment more succinctly summarized Timo Meier’s season than that which occurred in the Sharks’ locker room after Game 1 of the Western Conference Final. Meier had scored twice during the 6-3 victory, including a Forsberg-esque finish around Blues’ goalie Jordan Binnington. On Meier’s second goal, he deflected — from behind the goal line — the puck off Binnington and into the net. After the game, Meier was asked if he had intended to score the second goal. In an exchange that was somewhat reminiscent of Joe Thornton butting into a question asked of Patrick Marleau, Logan Couture, who, along with Meier, influenced four of the team’s six goals, took it upon himself to answer.
