The San Jose Sharks Audio Network presents the Teal Report.
Here's Dan Ruzanowski.
After a disappointing loss in Chicago,
the Sharks traveled to Winnipeg to face off against the Jets
in tonight's season finale.
Game 82 in the regular season with our Sharks Audio Network
airtime 430 Pacific time.
Last night in Chicago, things fell apart
against the Black Hawks in the third.
But it all began well.
A couple of 44s over there.
Wyatt Kaiser against keeper Sherwood.
Kaiser won this battle.
Black Hawks have a three on two developing.
Down the left, Nasar Cross the line.
Whips at Rinkwide looking for Bedard,
put the pass behind him,
and the Sharks have a three on two the other way.
Down the left, wingside.
Now Sherwood Cross the line.
Rinkwide.
Ferraro the drive.
Save Star.
Mario Ferraro just tossed it to the net.
And it gets deflected home,
and the San Jose Sharks lead it one to nothing.
Great goal by Mario Ferraro.
The first time he's ever scored in Chicago,
his seventh goal of a season assisted by keeper Sherwood.
Sherwood's first obt 2 assists in the game for Sharks Hockey.
Then Demetri Ordov got called for a hooking,
Ilia Michaea,
but what they ruled was a breakaway.
We thought it was a pretty good gift
to give the Black Hawks the penalty shot,
but with the score 1-0 sharks,
it was up to Ascarov in the first period
to keep it that way.
Michaea was dangerous against the Sharks moves
and shoots 6-8,
made by Ascarov.
No goal.
And so the Sharks keep it 1-0
with 3-38 to go.
Ilia Michaea,
I've tried to go 5-hole,
but Ascarov gave him the space
and took it away.
Unsuccessful penalty shot.
The first penalty shot against the Sharks this year.
Tidal Andrea had one earlier in the season,
and that one also unsuccessful from the Sharks side.
And so here we were at the end of the first period.
The Sharks were out shooting the Black Hawks 7-3,
and they were leading one to nothing.
They thought they made it to nothing,
17 seconds into the second period,
and Tidal Traffoli for his part
thought that he had his 20th goal of the year.
Off the boards back to Wienberg,
20 seconds left in the power play,
as Cagnoni chips it over to the far boards.
That's Celabrini trying to get it,
fighting for the puck,
poking at it,
nice keeping by Cagnoni,
and a really good pass to Wienberg.
Here's Sight Smith,
in front by himself,
SCAR!
Tidal Traffoli gets his 20th goal of the season,
in spectacular fashion.
What a keeping by Cagnoni on the point,
and the Sharks have a two-nothing lead.
But as it turned out,
a coaches challenge occurred from the Chicago side.
They said the Sharks were offside,
and after looking at it carefully,
here was the referee's decision.
After reviewing the play,
a 1943 that wasn't offside,
the 4-0 has to go to the 30-1.
Okay, Tidal Traffoli's got to stay at 19 goals.
So unfortunate because
Luca Cagnoni made such a great play,
and he wouldn't have gotten assist by the way on the play,
but that was the key part of the goal.
But now the time goes back
to the original time on the entry,
and we still have time on the power play here.
That penalty to Bedard would expire
49 seconds into the second period,
but Bedard would take another penalty,
his second of three in the game,
this one for delay of game over glass,
at 346.
Michael Misa, with the second unit on the ice,
made it to to nothing.
A little drop pass,
turn a shot to Misa.
Speed's down the right for turn a shot
who races into the zone,
back hands around the boards,
fed across the ice by Sherwood,
or walked, beat it down low,
Misa's got it, puts it off to defense,
SCAR!
Michael Misa!
On the left circle,
was dropping it toward the slot,
put it off to defense,
and it snuck through Spencer Knight.
That's a power play goal,
and the San Jose Sharks are on top to nothing.
That was a nice goal by Michael Misa,
a power play tally his eighth of a year,
and his first after going 15 games without a goal,
his most recent tally before tonight,
was on the road in Ottawa,
on March the 15th.
Dimitri Orlov got the primary assist for Orlov,
that's his 37th point of the season,
that is a career best for the veteran,
and keeper Sherwood, his second assist in the game.
Two nothing sharks,
everything looking just fantastic,
until the final seconds were ticking off,
in the second period,
when the Black Rocks got one,
that maybe Yaroslav Askeroff should have had.
Back to even strength for the sharks,
for the final 30 seconds of the second,
and here comes the Hawks moving in,
Denato bodied off the play there,
lose off, and they score!
Well, kind of a broken play,
Sam Wrenzel trailing the play after Denato lost it,
knocked it off of Askeroff into the net,
and I'm wondering if there's going to be any kind
of the discussion about this goal.
I don't like so,
because there was some contact,
but I think it happened maybe after the puck went in,
with Wrenzel,
bodied up there by Orlov,
moving toward the front of the net,
Justice Wrenzel shot the puck.
It went in,
and there was no goal to interference,
Sam Wrenzel getting his fourth of a season,
Wrenzel, always deadly against his former team,
getting the primary assist,
and Andrej Burkowski also assisting two to one,
the score at the end of two,
but the sharks had the lead,
and all season long,
they had not lost in regulation,
with 27 wins,
with a second period,
Intermission Edge.
It would all change tonight.
In the third period,
the Black Crocs out-shopped the sharks 11 to four,
totals for the game,
Chicago 24,
San Jose 17,
consider those numbers when you remember,
the sharks out-shopped the Black Crocs,
17-3 in the first period.
The Black Crocs would tie the game at 351
of the third period,
when Louis Crevier would get his sixth goal of a season
on a brilliant pass from Conor Bidard,
and then the Black Crocs would take the lead at 835,
when Ryan Green went to the right wing side of the ice,
just as Crevier had moments before.
Got it.
I remember getting up a little slowly,
here's Ryan DeNito with a slot shooting it,
and that's a big, stick-say, by Ascarot.
Rebound pepped in,
another chance-del-master,
feeds in front,
and they score!
Well, Ryan Green got behind the sharks defense,
just like Crevier did,
he put a stick down,
the play was flying to the right side,
and he tips it by Ascarot,
the Hawksley 3-2.
Ethan Del Mastro,
brilliant pass,
his first assistant point of the season,
Andrej Burkowski,
also assisting on Ryan Green's 12th of the year,
that proved to be the game winning goal,
Jamal.
And I have a funny feeling,
the Winnipeg Jets are watching that right side
of the shark's zone,
because the Blackhawks exploited it twice.
Yeah, they did,
and it was unfortunate,
because it looked like it had a simple play,
but when you get on the wrong side of someone net front,
and the defenseman Del Mastro makes a real brilliant
heads-up offensive play,
quite shocking to see that it's his first point of the year,
because that was a really, really,
really important thing to do,
is to see that it's his first point of the year,
because that was a really, really important thing
of the year,
because that was a great pass to the backdoor.
And so that made it three to two in favor of Chicago.
Louis Crevier had never scored more than one goal
in a single game for the Blackhawks,
but he got a second one here,
off a tighter Bertuzzi play,
after Bertuzzi won the puck from Luca Canioni.
All right, the shark's turn a shot.
He's a backhander and a reversal play,
but that's a nice read by Bertuzzi to steal it.
He's checked by Celebrini,
but got it back,
and Levy and the point score.
At 10-32,
in the third period,
the Blackhawks break it open a bit.
Louis Crevier, getting his seventh goal of the season,
second goal of this period,
Blackhawks four sharks, too,
with traffic in front.
Another tough one to give up,
Bertuzzi getting the assist on Crevier's seventh of the season
season at 10-32, Chicago leads it by the score of 4-2.
Blackhawks would get one more goal.
Again, another great assist for Connor Bedard.
He assisted with Wyatt Kaiser on Nick Lardis's 10th goal
of the season at 14-44 of the third.
That made the score, the Blackhawks 5 and the Sharks 2.
Final shots on goal for the game.
24-17 in favor of Chicago.
Blackhawks win the season series from the Sharks.
Two games to one.
Both wins here in Chicago.
Blackhawks won earlier by the score of 6-3 on February 2nd,
and the Sharks won the lone game at SAP Center,
3-2 at the beginning of April.
So San Jose now drops back to a record of 38, 35, and 8.
And so the 40 win mark will not be achieved this season,
but the Sharks have one more kick at the can.
Tonight in Winnipeg against the Jets.
For head coach Ryan Worcowski, it's one more opportunity
to help impart the lessons that have been
learned all season long, which in spite of repetition,
he says still need to be learned.
You know, we've learned a lot of lessons along the way.
This one is a kick in the gut because we
should know by now, to be honest with you.
We should know by now.
We've talked about it enough of the momentum shifts in games
and when to simplify it and when to be a mature team
and understand that, really, we've
control most of the game the first two periods.
Let's go, you know, put zeros in the third,
and we win a hockey game.
And until we do that, we won't make another step.
Don't forget to tune in to the 82nd and final game
of the regular season for San Jose Sharks hockey.
It's in Winnipeg against the Jets.
Jamal Meyers and I will be on the air at 430 Pacific time,
just in time for your drive home from work
or your last half hour at the office.
