Sharks Win The "Tidal Wave in the Tank" Epic Game, Epic Series

If you fell asleep this one was EPIC.

The Sharks were down 3-1 in the series, but more than that they were down 3-0 halfway through the third period of game 7 and their Captain Joe Pavelski lay prone on the ice with blood streaming from his head.

The Sharks get a five minute major then came "The Tidal Wave in the Tank" which would see the Sharks score 4 goals in 4 minutes and 1 second. The building erupts and the Knights, who were cruising before the wave up 3-0 are suddenly trailing with 6 minutes to go in their season.

And yet, the Knights, the truly amazing Knights, who were more often than not the better team in this game and this series, found a way to tie it at 4 with their goalie pulled and less than a minute to play in the game...

So the teams would once again go to overtime.

And as is usually the case, an unusual hero emerged when Goodrow, who didn't play in the first 15 minutes of OT found the speed and the legs to get the outside and beat Marc Andre Fleury late in the first OT.

This game will be remembered for a long time....it is all that is great with our sport.

What's the Buzz? When I was a kid I watched "The Miracle on Manchester" and I was looking for a name for this game..Best I could come up with was "The Tidal Wave in the Tank." Do you have a better one?
