Canucks equalised with 13.2 secs left in regulation. then scored the winner in Double O/T.
Bieksa scored with nine minutes and 42 seconds in the second extra period. On the play, Vancouver defenceman Alex Edler was on the right point. He attempted to send the puck hard around the boards, but it bounded off a stanchion and backwards to Bieksa in the centre of the Sharks blue line.
With everybody, including San Jose goalie Antti Niemi, searching for the puck, Bieksa sent a knuckleball that found its way into the net.
"I barely got enough wood on it to get it to the net," said Bieksa, who scored four goals in the series. "I was just trying to get it to the net for a tip. I didn’t want to flub it.
"I think [san Jose forward Patrick] Marleau and I were the only ones on the ice who knew were the puck was."
