Martin Jones did his very best to win the over time period of Game 5 against the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night all by himself. The Sharks were outshot 14-2, outchanced 11-2, and out-Corsi’d 27-7. Going back to the tying goal by Oscar Klefbom, Jones was the reason for the season for close to 40 minutes, while San Jose looked tired, slow, and desperate. Seriously, what is this madness:
In a postseason that’s had its fair share of goaltender storylines, Jones’ quality play has seemed to fade into the background. There has been a lot of praise directed at Jake Allen, Pekka Rinne, John Gibson, Henrik Lundqvist, and for good reason: all of them have been incredible.
