The hit heard round the world, helps sharks

The hit by Cory Sarich on Patrick Marleau was the turning point for the Flames in game 3. But it could ultimately be the turning point in the Sharks quest for their first cup. Marleau was cut from a previous hit and this one produced blood coming from his nose and yet the San Jose captain never missed a shift. With Marleau getting up like nothing ever happen, even though he looked like he didn't know where he was, he was telling his teammates, we can take everything these Flames have and we can still get back up. And get back up they did with a 4-3 win at home in game 5. They now lead the Flames 3-2 and look to wrap up the series Sunday night when they travel to Calgary to face a hostile team and crowd.
