The L.A. Kings will trying to eliminate the San Jose Sharks tonight at the Big Shark Tank as either team has been able to win away from home. If that holds true the Sharks will have to get Game 7 in L.A..    

Goals in this series have been hard to come by and that is a credit to the Defenses and most of all the Net Minders. The Kings have Jonathan Quick who has a 1.50 GAA through rounds 1 and 2. The Sharks have Antii Niemi who boasts a 1.95 GAA and the Frozen One has not been able to get past either one of them in the series often.

How good are the Sharks in the Shark Tank...26-2 in twenty-eight regular season and post games. The Kings were the ultimate road warriors on their way to Lord Stanley last season and now they have hit a major bump in the road. The Sharks have scored 7 goals the whole series and four of the seven have been in the Tank. The Kings have scored 11 goals and of the eleven...nine have been at Staples.

The Pressure will be on the Sharks more than the Kings with he Sharks not having lost at the tank in Winning Tine and just twice all year. For the Kings Centers Mike Richards and Jeff Carter have to be the key. The Sharks will have to get great play from Thornton and Center Logan Couture and Left Winger Patrick Marleau.

It has come down to two games and the Sharks need to get this one and turn all that pressure onto the defending Lord Stanley Cup Bearers...the L.A. Kings for a game 7.

Game Time 8pm ET on NHL on NBC Tonight...
