Nike Roshe Run Mesh Sneakers . Harnessing all
their big-game experience, the Germans delivered a performance of maturity and
efficiency to hold off France 1-0 on Friday and become the first team to reach
four straight semifinals in the sports marquee tournament.SAN JOSE, Calif. --
Joe Pavelski got the puck to the right of the net and sent a one-timer wide in
the final minute as he tried for that elusive first hat trick. Thats about the
only thing that hasnt gone Pavelskis way of late. Pavelski scored two more goals
and the San Jose Sharks beat Jimmy Howard for the ninth straight time in the
regular season with a 4-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night.
Pavelski has three two-goal games this season and 22 in his career but is still
seeking his first three-goal game in the NHL. "Itll happen, I bet," he said.
"Hopefully. Well see. Well keep trying. That was one of the better looks Ive had
at it, though." Dan Boyle and Andrew Desjardins also scored for the Sharks, who
bounced back after losing two of three on a recent road trip. Antti Niemi made
24 saves to beat the Red Wings for the fourth straight time with just three
goals allowed in that span. "We know its going to be a good competitive game
against these guys," said captain Joe Thornton, who had two assists to give him
a league-leading 45. "We werent very focused in Nashville but tonight I thought
we got back on track and played solid for 60." Tomas Tatar scored the lone goal
for the Red Wings, who began a tough three-game California swing with a loss.
Detroit follows up this game with weekend visits to Los Angeles and Anaheim. The
three California teams have just six regulation losses in 63 home games this
season. Howard made 19 saves but allowed three goals in the second period to end
his night and extend his struggles against the Sharks, who havent lost to him in
the regular season in more than three years. San Joses 10 regular-season wins
against Howard are the second most for any team, trailing only Chicagos 12. "We
gave up two ugly goals," coach Mike Babcock said. "For whatever reason, they
went up 3-1 and that seemed to do it for us. We have to be mentally strong and
keep skating no matter what. With this group we need good discipline and good
goaltending and we didnt get it." Howard allowed two soft goals in the second
period to help the Sharks break open a close game. The onslaught started when
Desjardins skated into the offensive zzone and beat Howard to the short side
from a bad angle for his second goal of the season to make it 2-1.

to the lead when he knocked in the rebound of Brad Stuarts shot, giving him 12
goals in his last 15 games as he has excelled on a line with Thornton and
Brent Burns. "Hes been really good," coach Todd McLellan said. "We need to keep
him that way. When the team really needs him, he elevates his game. Thats the
sign of a real good player. Again, playing with the two players that he does,
hes just got to get himself in the right spot and find pucks, and he took
advantage of it again." Boyle added to the lead on a power play when he beat
Howard with a wrist shot from the circle that made it 4-1. The game got testy in
the third period, starting with a fight between San Joses Tyler Kennedy and
Kyle Quincey. There was another scrum that ended with Red Wings forward
Todd Bertuzzi throwing his helmet at Tommy Wingels and then a later one between
San Joses Scott Hannan and Dan Cleary. The teams traded goals in the first
period with the Sharks striking fist when Thornton carried the puck into the
offensive zone and waited patiently for Pavelski to break free of
Henrik Zetterberg. Thornton then threaded a perfect pass into the slot that
Pavelski one-timed past Howard for his 20th goal. The Red Wings answered late in
the period when Tatar held the puck behind the net while Marc-Edouard Vlasic was
without his stick. Tatar then skated in front and lifted a backhand past Niemi.
"I saw the one guy without a stick and looked up to try and pass," Tatar said.
"When no one came over to help I choose to take it. The puck was following me
tonight. Its too bad I only scored one goal. I had plenty of other
opportunities." NOTES: The Sharks got Wingels (upper body) and Kennedy (flu)
back in the lineup and sent F Freddie Hamilton back to the minors. ... San Jose
also recalled D Matt Tennyson from Worcester as insurance with D Matt Irwin out
with an upper-body injury. ... D Danny DeKeyser (groin) returned to the lineup
for Detroit, but Fs Pavel Datsyuk (lower body) and Darren Helm (groin) remain
sidelined.
