Second period was the same as the tail end of the first.
Rob Blake and Pat Falloon had a two-on-none, and the jokes tried to do a last-second cross-crease pass for a one-timer.
MAF anticipated it and got credit for a desperation save.
The Pens realized halfway through the second that a couple of Sharks were juicers, and the Pens contemplated quitting out.
Thank God they didn't.
Later on, Whitney realized that a couple of the Sharks were cherry-picking, so he stationed himself at center ice preparing to cut off some passes. While standing there, he couldn't believe that his forwards couldn't score on essentially a 4-on-2 in the zone.
People forget that staying back at center ice to stop cherry-pickers severely effects your position score. Dicks.
The Sharks turned it on in the second half of the period. Thornton tried to do the curve shot, but he missed wide. Marleau straddled the goal line, waiting for MAF to go down.
MAF goes down, but he shoots it over the crossbar.
Barton levels him.
But the story of the second period was Dollar Bill Thomas finally achieving his Legend card. He got it on some jobber carom goal. But it counts. 1-0.
Pockets gets a breakaway later and tries to do the vision-control wrist shot which he would later come to detest.
Period was over, but the intermission was longer than usual because Zero had to watch all the highlights instead of pressing A.
