NHL

Here are my observations after 2 games:

San Jose's overall team speed is below average. They have not been able to create any space/separation in the first two games. Their scoring chances have been negligible and the goals they have scored have been ugly/fluky.

The Pens are not known to have a particularly strong defensive team and yet the Sharks have been smothered since the outset.

If Martin Jones hadn't been standing on his head, the Sharks would've been blown out a couple of times.

So, this got me thinking: who did SJ beat to get to the Finals?

They've gone through LA, Nashville and STL. Physical teams, but not known for speed like CHI, DALL or even MINNY.

To their credit, they went 12-6 in the first three rounds beating teams similar to themselves.

Unless they find another gear, PITT ends this in 5.

Lol, The sharks and the penguins are the two fastest teams in the NHL. Both teams speed are way above average.
