A Pit Stop in Pittsburgh

The San Jose Sharks lost in the shoot out to the Pittsburgh penguins after Sidney Crosby scored the only goal in the shootout. This was a vital game because the Sharks had just come off a tremendous game in Boston and wanted to get the momentum swinging in their favor early. The Sharks played well for the most part but didn't convert in the Shootout. That is when you need your big guns like Joe Thornton, Dan Boyle and whoever else is put in to play their hardest and lock down and give their all. This didn't happen but Dan Boyle did have an amazing move but got sloppy after he beat Fleury and did lift the puck and Fleury had just enough time to get his right pad over. Brian Boucher was the Starting goaltender for the Sharks on Wednesday night because Evgeni Nabokov needed a break. I think we should give Nabby a wake up call and Bouchy should start a couple because he has earned the starts. He works had in practice, plays well in games and give 100% all the time. I am not saying that Nabby doesn't do this, we just need to get him back to his "A" game. I would not be surprised if Boucher was to start the next few games.
