Patrick Marleau has waited his entire career for this.
In his first appearance in a Stanley Cup Final, Marleau - the longest serving member of the San Jose Sharks - buried a crafty wraparound to knot the score at 2-2 in the second period.
San Jose erased a 2-0 deficit, and tilted the ice for a 13-8 shot advantage in the second frame after being outshot 15-4 in the first.
