Is it a sign that you don't live in a real hockey town when you go to a bar on a Thursday night that has hockey paraphernalia on the walls and they don't have the game on, and nobody seems to care? Undoubtedly, yes.
At any rate, here are the Sharks-Avs shooting stats for the Sharks perspective through five games:
| Down 1 | Tied | Up 1 | SF/-1 | SF/0 | SF/1 | SA/-1 | SA/0 | SA/1 | |
| Game 5 | 0 | 1705 | 116 | 0 | 35 | 2 | 0 | 20 | 2 |
| Game 4 | 0 | 2889 | 1335 | 0 | 57 | 24 | 0 | 43 | 16 |
| Game 3 | 0 | 3651 | 0 | 0 | 93 | 0 | 0 | 33 | 0 |
| Game 2 | 2438 | 1484 | 0 | 75 | 14 | 0 | 24 | 13 | 0 |
| Game 1 | 971 | 2629 | 0 | 12 | 45 | 0 | 13 | 32 | 0 |
| Totals | 3409 | 12358 | 1451 | 87 | 244 | 26 | 37 | 141 | 18 |
| Corsi | 70.2 | 63.4 | 59.1 |
Games 1, 3 and 4 were examples of what happens when the Avs get outplayed but things generally break their way. Game 5 was an example of what happens when they get outplayed and things go wrong for them.
Here are the scoring totals by San Jose's lead:
| F/-1 | F/0 | F/1 | A/-1 | A/0 | A/1 | |
| Goals | 6 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 8 | 1 |
| Shots | 87 | 244 | 26 | 37 | 141 | 18 |
| S% | 6.9 | 1.6 | 3.8 | 0.0 | 5.7 | 5.6 |
San Jose still has a ridiculously low shooting percentage in tie games, but they're outshooting Colorado 71-41 per 60 minutes, which lets them overcome their bad shooting luck.
