Overtime has been the kiss of death for the Sharks all season and especially in their series against the Dallas Stars. But in last night's Western Conference Semi Final game five, it was not to be so.
After spectacular third period goals by Milan Michalek and the previous bane of my hockey existence, Brian Campbell, San Jose managed to come back from a two goal deficit to tie the game and force overtime.
It's no secret that I've been pretty hard on Brian Campbell since the playoffs started, even going so far as to write an article wondering what happened to the once solid defenseman.
He's made me want to rip my hair out more than a few times. But as I watched his shot sail past Stars' goalie Marty Turco in the middle of the third period, all his previous puck fumbles and painful giveaways were forgiven.
Regulation finished with the game tied at two goals...
