ICE GAMES Staples BLACK and SILVER vs Team TEAL...Game 7 is here as the West boast Two Game Sevens....Can the ROAD Team finally come through with a "W" in the SERIES #SJSharks #LAKings Gm 7 #IceGamesWestWinningTime

Game 7 means a couple of different things but in the Sharks and Kings Series it means someone has to win on Ice that isn't home ice in the Sharks Case. The Kings look at it as taking care of business at home and that is what home ice advantage is. Well the plot definitely thickens as we get to Game 7 at Staples tonight and what else is there to talk about with steady Sharks and the defending Lord Stanley Cup Champion Kings.

Staples Silver & Black

The Game has coke down to this as the Stars have come out an it will come down not to the Forwards, Centers, or Wingers but Scheme and Net Minders. The Sharks have Center Joe Thornton and Logan Couture the anchors for Team Shark Tank. The Kings have a few Players but namely Mike Richards and Drew Doughty. They must put pressure and the Frozen One at the Net to see if these top Shelf in Glass-Cased Net Minders will succumb under the immense pressure of a game 7 and a barrage of Frozen Pucks.

Antii Niemi of the Sharks has been just as good as his counterpart Jonathan Quick of the Kings. Niemi is 7-3 in the 2013 Playoffs and his 1.85 GAA is amongst the best. The Sharks have to keep the pile up from the Net and help Niemi as much as possible playing intelligently and at the Kings Blue Line.

Quick gets a slight edge here as his GAA is 1.54 and he is almost impossible to beat at Staples. The Kings must put pressure on him as much as possible sending folks to the net. The Kings will be super-aggressive as they know whoever has gotten out early in the games has won. Two Scores should win this one and the edge goes to the kings because they are at home.
