Vancouver is in a very dangerous spot, as the Canucks are traveling to San Jose down 2-0 in the their Quarterfinal series against the Sharks. Despite having a pretty stellar top two lines, the Canucks find themselves in a position where they can realistically get swept by San Jose and completely fizzle out in the NHL Playoffs.

Both Daniel and Henrik Sedin have been dead for the Canucks, neither of the brothers are producing goals and that’s a major issue for Vancouver moving forward. The series was going to come down to how well San Jose netminder Antti Niemi could hold down the weaker third and fourth lines for the Canucks while managing the top lines for Vancouver.

So far Niemi has been nothing short of brilliant, and that goes for he rest of the Sharks as well. We saw how well they can play under pressure in their Game 2 comeback and that might be all the momentum they need to pull of another win in this series.
