My heart is still in my throat

Before I move on to the latest scores after Sunday's action, let me first say a couple of things about the Calgary Flames four-goal comeback against the San Jose Sharks.
The book on San Jose coming into the playoffs was that they have struggled in the playoffs. If the Sharks weren't gripping their sticks extra-tight this year to begin with, they Flames made sure they will for the rest of the series after the epic rally at the Saddledome. I must confess, after the third Sharks goal found the back of the net a little over three and a half minutes into the game, I figured Game 3 was a write off and then the Flames should focus on sending a message for Game 4.
The soon-to-be-legendary hit by Calgary Flames defenceman Cory Sarich on Sharks captain Patrick Marleau put a smile on my face. It set the perfect tone. I did not, however, figure it would be a catalyst for the amazing comeback.

For those of you on Facebook and a member of the pool group I've decided to use that forum to post some of my favourite YouTube highlights from the playoffs at regular intervals. The Sarich hit is on display there already.

But enough about the game, here are the scores:
1) Brad Bouzane 47 Not only leading the pool, also the victor at Sunday's Drawmaster's Challenge
2) Mark Breenae 46 The Habs don't win, yet you rocket up the standings (credit Jagr, among others)
3) Sean Hutchinson 44 I'm sure the celebration is still going on in your neck of the woods
4) Mary Kay Hosfield 43 Yes, I did rush my picks. No, I shouldn't use that as an excuse
T5) Rob Shaw 42 Another case of Jagr helping out in a losing cause
T5) Terry James 42 Penguins and Wings didn't play, so you had few chances for points
T7) David Forbes 41 I bet you could hear the cheers all the way in Medicine Hat after the Nolan goal
T7) Richard Warnica 41 The football game was awesome, the aching afterwards not so much
T7) Julianna Nowaczek 41 I knew I liked that Praise selection you made
T7) Ryan Plesko 41 Unfortunately, due to your location on the spreadsheet you will often end up at the bottom of the list of people tied.
T11) Cliff Hosfield 40 Picking up some of the places you dropped in the last update
T11) Ron Strate 40 Don't let Mr. Forbes pull too far ahead!
T11) Jack James 40 Tanguay, Langkow help you move up the ladder

T23) James Gordon 36 You've officially moved from back-of-the-pack to middle-of-the-pack
T23) Liam Lynch 36 So, are we going to have a spring election?

34) Chris Chapman 29 OK, so your getting better, but there's still a big hill to climb
35) Neil McKinnon 28 The Ducks are in the process of proving it's tough to win back-to-back titles. So are you.

T36) Debb Coghlin 27 Despite the fact we have a lot of different players, we remain tied
T36) Jeff Sandelli 27 Flames win, but you could have used the point from Kiprusoff
39) Janet Pringle 19 On the bright side, the Wings called up a pair of your AHLers today. Now you just have to hope for injuries.
