That in turn would give the Sharks momentum heading back to Vancouver for game five with serious hopes of winning the series in six games.San Jose, on the other hand, cannot afford a loss as a 3-1 lead for Vancouver would make the Sharks very unlikely to make the 2011 Stanley Cup finals. Game five will be from Rogers Arena and game seven, if necessary, would be from downtown Vancouver as well. If the Sharks were down in a 1-3 hole they would be facing the prospect of having to win three straight, with two of those games in Vancouver.One key for the Canucks in game four is to curb San Jose's powerplay success as the Sharks have been stellar with the man advantage so far in the Western Conference finals. San Jose have scored six times in thirteen chances with the man advantage so far in their three games while Vancouver have had trouble scoring 5 on 3.If the Canucks can't stop San Jose's powerplay attack then at least they will have to be more disciplined when at even strength, a point that has been made by Kevin Bieksa, a defenseman for Vancouver: "Definitely have to be more disciplined. I'm not saying we were undisciplined in the sense that we were punching guys in the face. But when you put your stick somewhere it doesn't belong, it's a 50/50 call. The referees want to call it tight, that's what going to happen. It's up to us that that doesn't happen."
