While Niedermayer has four Stanley Cup rings and a Conn Smythe trophy, Boyle has one ring -- and a few hard feelings about the franchise with which he won it. Yet their approaches are strikingly similar: Both Niedermayer and Boyle prefer to create goals instead of spending time defending against them. "When Scott Niedermayer and Dan Boyle are on the ice, both teams are playing with four forwards," San Jose coach Todd McLellan said. "Theyre both dynamic, and they skate and join the rush so well. "We want to encourage that as much as possible." When asked what he and Blake provide that the Sharks might have lacked in past postseasons, Boyle doesnt mention those timely goals or sharp passes. "Just poise and a lack of panic -- a low panic point," Boyle said. "Hopefully thats what we bring. (Blake) did a great job of stepping up last night." Blake scored the Sharks first goal in Game 3 and followed with the assist on Patrick Marleaus power-play winner. The 39-year-old longtime Kings defenseman postponed retirement -- but kept his big house in Manhattan Beach -- to join the Sharks in hopes of competing for another Stanley Cup ring. After spending the previous two years across town from Niedermayer and Pronger, Blake admires the Ducks duos persistence even after they already hockeys top prize together. "These guys have been in a lot of playoff games over the last few years -- more than Danny and I, thats for sure," Blake said. Blake and Boyle both missed the playoffs last spring with Los Angeles and Tampa Bay, respectively. Blake wouldnt have had the chance to make Marleau the Game 3 hero if Corey Perry hadnt been whistled for a hooking call moments earlier. Although Perry took responsibility for his extracurricular stick work, Pronger wasnt ready to stop competing for Anaheim, the NHLs second most-penalized team. "He hooked the guys stick, but didnt hit the guys hand with his stick," Pronger said. "When you hook a guys stick, that happens 30 times a game. Are you going to call 30 penalties a game? I didnt think that was a penalty." Justin Tuck Jersey. Dan Cleary et Nicklas Lidstrom ont inscrit les autres buts des Red Wings. Jimmy Howard a réalisé 29 arrêts dans la victoire.
