Kings 2, Sharks 1
The Kings cap a strong period with a goal. Brad Stuart carried the puck into the offensive zone and fired a perfect cross-ice pass onto the stick of Patrick O'Sullivan, who tapped the puck behind Nabokov and into the net. The goal came with 2:06 remaining in the second period.

I saw that replay. Sully had a wide open goal and was lucky to score it. It looked liked he shanked it and got lucky that it hit he goalie and bounced in.
Be thankful Bob. How do you know if the puck wasn't boucing or something.
Would you rather have had Zeiler or Armstrong receive the pass instead.
Huh.
Sully was all over the ice and pissing off alot of the sharks players. He deserved that goal. It wasn't luck.
You make a good point. It was Stuart who made the pass. While I'm sure he can dish it, he's no Gretzky. But Sully did miss the wide open net by a large margin and the luck was that it banked off the goalie. If it was someone of lesser skill who knows what could have happened?
