Evgeni Nabokov did not have one of his best games, but because of the explosive Sharks' offense he still managed to pull off his 4th win of the season (5th for the Sharks total). Nabokov allowed 4 goals in 61:25 off of just 17 shots. This is a little worrisome, however, a win is...

For the record, I picked the Sharks to win the Cup last season.
I like the Sharks.
I thought the Blake and Boyle signings were genius as they brought some talent AND championship experience to a Sharks roster severely lacking in the latter.
