Purdy: Sharks' best player at his best right now

ST. LOUIS -- Joe Pavelski tipped a puck into the net for the winning goal. Which has happened often.

The Sharks, as a result, will be playing Wednesday night at SAP Center for a spot in the Stanley Cup finals. Which has happened never.Or to be more specific: Never ever no way before at all.This is starting to get scary for the Sharks. Scary in the sense that they are so close to achieving something that the franchise has pursued over the quarter century of its existence: Reaching the ultimate round of the NHL playoffs with a chance to play for the ultimate prize.
