Welcome to the Gameday Blog, the one-stop shop for San Jose Sharks fans on every playoff gameday.
Here we go again.
For the second time in this playoff run, the San Jose Sharks are playing in a do-or-die Game 7, this time against the Colorado Avalanche.
In Game 6, the Sharks erased three separate one-goal deficits but ultimately fell 4-3 in overtime in Game 6. Marc-Edouard Vlasic notched his first career multi-goal game in the postseason and became the third defenseman to score at least two goals in the 2019 playoffs (Brent Burns, D. Hamilton). Timo Meier (0g, 2a) and Gustav Nyquist (0g, 2a) both recorded multi-assist games while Logan Couture, Erik Karlsson and Brent Burns each notched a point.
The Sharks are no strangers to must-win games, playing three of them in their first round series. But this is the first time they will face elimination against the Avalanche - and whichever team loses will see their season end. Tonight, the Sharks look to have the backing of their home crowd behind them to help bring the energy and deliver them to the Western Conference Final.
Not only is Team Teal in #PlayoffMode, but the entire organization and City of San Jose have also kicked it up a notch. If you aren't attending tonight's game, there are still plenty of ways for you to join in on the playoff festivities.
