Stanley Cup Finals Game 1

The game was super close the whole time, but the Penguins scored with 2:33 left to go in the game and won it 3-2. The first period was dominated by the Penguins, but the second was dominated by the Sharks, and the third was even. Bryan Rust scored the first one when a shot was blocked by Vlasic and the puck came loose to the side of the net where nobody was so he put it in. Chris Sheary got the net one after one minute and two seconds of the first goal when he got a backhand pass from Sidney Crosby from the other side and he shot the puck in over Jones's shoulder from the circle. That whole period you could tell that Crosby was really giving it everything he had and he could've easily scored more if it hadn't been for Martin Jones though. Tomas Hertl got the Sharks within 1 when he got the puck at the side of the net and turned and shot it and it somehow got past Murray. Patrick Marleau tied it with 1:48 left in the second when he got a rebound and wrapped it around and the puck snuck in. Nick Bonino got the game winner with 2:33 left in the third when Letang passed it to him in front of the net and he weakily shot it over Jones. Also Brent Burns did not have a stick on the play and might have been able to block it. Game two is on the first at 8:00 Pm Et and it should be close again. Remember that this is only game one and the series is far from over so don't panic if you're a Sharks fan especially since they've been in a situation like this. Can the Sharks win game 2? Can the Penguins keep up the pace? Will the Penguins take a 2-0 series lead? stay tuned....
