Mike Modano *almost* scores on a shorthanded OT breakaway.

Marty Turco high-sticks Joe Pavelski in overtime, giving the Sharks a 4-on-3. Brian Campbell falls at the point, giving Mike Modano a breakaway, and he almost scores into a mostly-vacated net. If Modano wasn't so busy celebrating and had instead stayed with the play, Evgeni Nabokov (and Roenick/Thornton) wouldn't have been able to pick the puck off the goal line. :)

Haha I like the title "Almost" goes in haha, Thats Nabby 101% kick ass, and modano, can u say DENIED!!!

[thegardenofhewitt]

how bout the fact that modano blew by the defense, and exposed the sharks awful back check, I believe that deserves some credit

Anybody else notice that he put his hands up in the air like he had scored?

easy now, the SJ fans gave Modano a standing ovation when he scored that goal; we can all be competitive friends I think...

I love Modano (He tied the Rocket Richard in career goals last night) but he shoulda been on that. He normally has really good games vs San Jose for whatever reason too.

You realize the Ducks were one of the hottest teams going into the playoffs, they took Detroit to 7 games, and the sharks had already been playing poorly for a couple months. Not to mention getting the presidents trophy and doing badly in the post season has happened before.

Nabby puts himself into these bad situations, like unnecessarily coming that far out of the net, but he always finds a way to come back and make up for that mistake. By the way, I know the Sharks will make the playoffs, let's hope they make it to the Cup finals, and then take it lol. As much of a Sharks fan I am, they probably won't, unfortunately.
