EDMONTON
Giving up one shorthanded goal in a playoff game is unfortunate. Giving up two is inexcusable.
The Sharks made no excuse Friday night.
“We got what we probably deserved,” said captain Joe Pavelski. “And I was leading the way.”
Actually, the parade was pretty thick and didn’t need much leading.
But there was no “probably” about what the Sharks deserved..
And yes, Pavelski is correct in one respect. He did make the most visible mistake of his team’s Game 2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. On an evening when the Sharks had a man advantage on six occasions, they wound up being outshot by the Oilers 6-5 during those power plays and scored zero goals–while the Oilers scored two.
