The San Jose Sharks prevailed at home to beat the Colorado Avalanche in Game 7 by a score of 3-2. Early on it looked like the Sharks were to run away with an easy win after jumping to a two goal lead midway through the first period. However, Colorado scored with seven seconds left in the period to cut the deficit to one. The only goal in the second period came from the Sharks, who went into the third period up 3-1. Early on in the third, Avalanche player Tyler Jost scored to bring the Sharks lead to just one. The rest of the period was very intense, but the Sharks were able to hold on for the win and advance to the conference finals. Tonight the Carolina Hurricanes will face the Boston Bruins in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The game will be played in Boston and puck drop will be at 8 pm. Both teams have been on winning streaks ( ‘Canes 5 straight and Bruins 3). I think that tonight’s game 1 will be a win for the Bruins if goalie Tuukka Rask plays as he did in his last outing. It’ll be interesting to see the the teams play each other with Boston’s high offense and Carolina’s strong defense.
