ST. LOUIS
YOU COULD RIGHTFULLY CALL IT the Shot Heard ‘Round the World without overselling its impact on Game 7 of the Sharks’ first-round playoff series against the Blues.
Error 0:
As Owen Nolan wound up from just inside the red line Tuesday night, the final seconds of the first period were ticking away. The Sharks led 1-0. But it seemed a paper-thin 1-0.
The Sharks scored early, Ronnie Stern poking home the rebound of a wild shot by Marcus Ragnarsson just 2:51 into the contest. Less than a minute later, they went on a power play which yielded several glorious chances to make it 2-0.
