sharks win game 4

Sharks win game 4. If nothing else, they save some face and pride — not a small thing, actually.

But more important, that allows them to play game 5. They still have a huge hill to climb (33 years since the last 0-3 turnaround), but it’s a start, and they showed guts and pride tonight when they could have packed it in. If they do that again in game 5, then suddenly Dallas has to start worrying.

After all, ultimately, while the Sharks still need to win 3 more — Dallas still has to win one. All the Sharks have to do is prevent that. Not likely, but it’s more likely now than it was this afternoon. The odds have shifted in the Sharks favor, and Dallas can’t like that.

(neither could Dallas STOP it, and they sure tried. that was one hell of a hockey game. again)

    and then there were 2. And now Dallas has to feel like maybe they blew the best chance they were going to get to close this out. I certainly thought they were done after the bad goal to end the second, after already getting the break on the first Morrow non-goal.
    Game 6 will be interesting… I don’t like Dallas’ chances in a game 7 (even if it is in HP Pavillion) if they have to play a game 7, so it’s basically win one game to be back to being the favorite.
