Game Time has been very busy today. Dan has five things that the Blues can do to beat the Sharks, while Gabe has a gameplan totally mapped out.
It all boils down to something simple: the Blues want the Martin Jones of the first four games against the Golden Knights, not the Martin Jones of the rest of the Sharks’ playoff run. Fling shots at him. Shots he can see. Shots he can’t see. High shots. Low shots. Tequila shots. I’m not saying every period has to be played like the Blues’ game seven against the Stars (because the Blues are going to be pooped), but the more you rattle Jones the more likely he is to let a puck in.
