Kramerica Industries Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 You know what? When the Sharks scored four goals on a do-or-die power play to erase a 3-0 deficit, I was fully prepared to post "that is the least Sharks-like thing they've ever done". Except, now, if they end up losing this game in OT, that will suddenly have become the most Sharks-like thing they could've ever done. Crush everyone's hopes, build them back up higher than before, and then crush them again. Total wind-up merchants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the most I've ever seen was two. And the Sharks still had 1:11 left on the PP when they scored the 4th goal. Holy hell, that was something to see. I saw a Red Wings/Islanders game last February where the Islanders scored four goals on a 5-minute power play and, much like tonight, that turned a 3-goal deficit in the 3rd period into an Islanders lead. And, also much like tonight, the Red Wings tied it up afterwards to force overtime. Apparently it happened one other time, in 2011, but I didn't see the game or remember the event.

I figured scoring four times on a five minute major didn't happen often, but am I reading your post correctly, is this just the third time it's happened?

Or are you referring to the number of times you've seen it happen? Someone on Reddit told me this is only the third time it's happened. At least, in recorded history.

LMU Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Cue the Vegas fans not grasping that it's a damn rule that an injury resulting from a cross check is an automatic 5 minute major. Don't let the blood on the ice get in the way of their scrappy little lovable underdog self-glossed narrative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sykotyk Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 https://www.nhl.com/islanders/news/6-takeaways-islanders-7-red-wings-6-ot/c-295799818 Wow in the final 5:26 down 3 on a 5 minute major to take the lead and pulled goalie and scored to tie it back with 29 seconds left. Islanders won it in OT though. The fact this happened in game 7 down 3-0 eclipses that by far. But still. We're in uncharted territory. Sharks can be the Lightning and live in infamy or be the Blue Jackets and revel in one of the greatest feats in franchise history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whomever won definitely would be seen as Cup favorites. Going to be interesting how the long wait effects the Blue Jackets, usually it's the worst thing for a team that catches fire like they did against Tampa. On a more personal not, if Carolina can pull the upset against DC, I would be 100% content with however the playoffs turn out. This is a description of me right now. Super happy the the B’s pulled it out, but seeing the Caps lose always gives me great joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s going to take a minute to get where I’m going here, but I think it works in relation to Vegas fans. Back when I was living in Syracuse, my gf was a law student at SU. Another friend of ours from Ohio was also attending SU. Long story short, spring semester was over and our friend, a few SU law students, my GF, and I were all discussing what we were going to over the summer. Our Ohio friend says “I don’t know what to do, I can’t find a job here and I don’t want to move back to Toledo just to get a job for three months. At this point one of the law students chimes in with this “if you’re not sure, why don’t you just travel for the summer?” The “just travel” girl is my idea of a Vegas fan. No idea how the real world works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
