SAN JOSE, Calif. — The NHL fined the San Jose Sharks $100,000 on Saturday for general manager Doug Wilson's comments criticizing the league for forward Raffi Torres' suspension for the rest of the second round of the playoffs.
doug wilson "It is abundantly clear that this was a clean hockey hit, As noted by the NHL, Raffi's initial point of contact was a shoulder-to-shoulder hit on an opponent who was playing the puck. He did not leave his feet or elevate, he kept his shoulder tucked and elbow down at his side, and he was gliding — not skating or charging."
doug wilson "It appears that the NHL has not only made an inappropriate application of this rule but is trying to make an example out of a player who is being judged on past events, one who has changed his game dramatically this season and taken only six minor penalties in 39 games,"

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Change is the lone constant in hockey, the only sport that permits personnel changes on the fly. And like the complexities of the game within the game, there are changes within changes as coaches adjust to injuries, slumps or mismatches.

SAN JOSE, Calif. - The Los Angeles Kings and San Jose Sharks now have a common enemy: the officials.
Dustin Penner "I find it very tough to believe that a player as intelligent as Trevor Lewis would run the goalie, I asked him, and he said he got pushed from behind. I believe him. I'm disappointed that the refs had enough confidence to make a gutsy call like that in the last few seconds of a period. It's pretty impressive when you have enough gall to guess."

The Sharks played half the game on guts Saturday night. But they finished in style. Down several players at various points of the game, they wound up finally finding the right formula on the power play - in the game's first two minutes and then in the very last second, in overtime, on Logan Couture's glorious goal.
Dustin Brown "The league is funny that way, You get these teams going on spurts against each other. My first years in the league, we could never beat Calgary. And then we went on a spurt where we kept beating them."
Dustin Brown "I think it stays with you, maybe not as motivation but as experience you can draw on, They beat us in six games that year, and we lost three of those games in overtime. A couple of those overtimes, it was just small mistakes that beat us. That sticks with you."

They may have been without Raffi Torres, who was suspended by the NHL on Thursday for an illegal hit in Game 1, but that didn't stop the Sharks
Marc-Edouard Vlasic "It felt like our forwards were being physical, but it felt like that the first two games as well, As the series goes along, it starts to wear on certain guys. We did a great job tonight."

Throughout the night, chants of “Beat L.A.” echoed through the Shark Tank.
todd mclellan "It was a real, real important win for us. We felt we let one get away in L.A. We had to come back and answer. We've done that, (Red Wings GM) Kenny Holland once told me in Detroit, you’re never really in trouble until you lose your first game at home. That was a big win for us."
Trevor Lewis "I didn't think it was a penalty, It is what it is. Can't change it now. We've gotta focus on the next game."

todd mclellan "I thought the transition from being down to, 'Let's get ready to go,' was exceptional, The leaders did a great job. But you always have to take that test. You find out a lot about your team. We obviously showed up to play tonight."
Patrick Marleau "When you see someone leave after stepping on a puck like that, you don't know if he's going to come back or not, And now he has his stick back in the game. And he scores the overtime winner. It's huge. It's to see him be able to push through that kind of pain."

todd mclellan "Tomorrow when we meet I'll tell them the good things we did, We will talk about some of the adjustments we made and how it helped us.

If you remember, they didn’t think they played well last year, either.The Kings would frustrate, muffle and bruise their playoff opponent, then come back into the room and say, nah, that 3-0 series lead means nothing. We’ve got to be better than this.Some of that is the nature of this 60-minute, 78-rpm game, played with an unsteady puck on changing ice. There will always be bad shifts, wrong d
Anze Kopitar "That’s what happens when you put pressure on them, The last five minutes were good. We’ve got to do that for the 55 minutes before that. We pulled this one out of our behinds."
Sidney Crosby "I think we all cringe when we see that as players, So many factors can go into it. The puck rolls on you suddenly or a guy gets a piece of you. It obviously has huge importance in a game."
