I promise I'll talk about the Rangers game but first TRIVIA!

I haven't had time to collect my thoughts on the performance at MSG on Monday.

However, I have had the time to pose one of my favorite Sharks trivia questions:

Q: What Sharks trade cost the team a chance at this former Rocket Richard winner, who is still a currently active player. The correct answer will name the trade partner, who the Sharks sent, who they received.

Feel free to leave the answer in the comments section or just email me: pete.shenkin@gmail.com

Sharks v. Rangers Prediction

It pains me to say it but I think the Sharks are going to get beat down on National TV across the United States and Canada.

Final Score: Rangers 5, Sharks 2.

The Rangers average 4 goals per game and the Sharks are just not ready to play well against a team like the Rangers. For comparison, the Sharks let the Capitals put up big numbers on them and they had lost four straight. Our defensive coverage is weak right now and the Rangers are circling.

Three Stars:

1) Gaborik

2) Callahan

3) Del Zotto

Counter-prediction: Nabby comes up monster-huge, and shuts out the Rangers. Sharks win 2-0.

Counter-prediction:

1) Nabokov

2) Lundqvist

3) Thornton

Either way, win or lose, I think Patty, Seto, and Joe will all play very inspired and well. Yet, with a weak D-core, that just won't be enough for a 'W'.
