The Finals started off as a nail biter going into OT at the shark tank. Marleau put home the game winner half way through the 1st OT on the PP. Game 2 didn't look too good for the Avs as Sakic was drilled into the boards sending him to the dressing room for the remainder of the game. His presence was missed as Joe Thornton took control with 2 goals and Nabokov shutting the Avs down for the 2nd straight game with another shutout performance. Game 3 the sharks headed out to Colorado. 1st period saw both teams see-sawing back and forth with 2 goals a piece as Paul Stastny popped home the tieing goal late in the period on the PP. Sharks were then able to put home 2 more to seal the 3rd game, and hopefully win it all in Colorodo. Game 4 both teams struggled to find goals as both of them needed a win to either prevent elemination or to win the cup! The game finally ended with the Avs putting home the game winner in double OT and avoiding elimination. With a determination to win the cup on home ice, Game 5 saw the Sharks come out strong with their usual cast of Thornton, Marleau, Setoguchi and of course Nabokov, with the 3 forwards combining for 7 points on the night, and leading their team to a 5-0 victory to take the cup!
