Yeah. That would have been a great defensive play! Though that early in the game, it would have been a harder decision to make, I think, than it looks now. Plus, given how they'd won the previous game and the momentum of expectation, they couldn't have known that the single goal would have made enough of a difference... maybe. I don't know.

I even think that the Sharks may learn how to defend Blake in this series. Even the next game, as they've gradually been getting better at covering him close, and swapping the coverage when he does go forward. But if they are paying more attention to him, there are so many other guys that can slip by with that much less attention... which does make it hard
