Niemi for the Sharks

By Webmaster | SAL

Is this the miracle San Jose Sharks needed? I should say yes! Having Antti Niemi at their side, The Sharks maybe will get another chance to get the Stanley Coup this year.

Last spring, Niemi played for the actual champion Chicago Blackhawks and wiped.The Sharks on their home at HP Pavillion. The scores went 7-2. This year, Niemi plays for the guys of San Jose and he will even stop the shots of his old teammates. The Sharks won this match, a year after on Thanksgiving Eve, same arena, a new duel, new result. San Jose beats Chicago 5-2.

Niemi saved 30 shots for The Sharks in combination with goals provided by D.Heatley, J.Mayers, J.Pavelski and Patrick Marleau, leaving a losing streak of 3 games behind. The presence of Antti Niemi defending against Chicago proved to be a high motivator for The Sharks. First goal came by Dany Heatley at 13:24 of the first period, fueling The Sharks Jamal Mayers makes the second goal defeating Marty Turco at 02:37 of the second period. After a goal for the Hawks by Jake Dowell 31 seconds later, Pavelski scored for the Sharks stealing a pass by Nick Boynton's. At 13:47 Marleau scores with the assistance of Thornton and Boyle. Later at 19:57 Marleau scores an empty netter with the assistance of Clowe and Pavelski.

Man, I think the Sharks have a new opportunity this year, and they better take it. I don't consider myself a big fan, but they are my favorite team. San Jose has potential players in my opinion and the addition of Antti Niemi to their lines brings a good wind for them.
