Milan Michalek,
San Jose
It was Michalek who was the
go-to guy on San Jose's top
line, which included former Art
Ross winner Joe Thornton and
former Richard winner Jonathan
Cheechoo. Michalek led San Jose
with four goals, none of which
were trivial in their respective
games. In Game 1, his tally gave
San Jose just enough to get to
overtime; he sparked a Sharks
comeback with his tying goal in
Game 3; and Michalek opened the
scoring and chipped in the
eventual game-winner in Game 4. |
