Following last night’s 4-3 win over the San Diego Gulls in Game 4 of the Pacific Division Finals, the San Jose Barracuda now sit just one win away from doing something a San Jose Sharks AHL affiliate has never done: advance past the second round. San Jose will have the first of three chances to do just that tonight at the Valley View Casino Center at 7:00 PM for Game 5.
The closest a Roy Sommer-coached team has come was in 1999, when the then-Kentucky Thouroughblades took a 3-2 second round lead over the Philadelphia (now Lehigh Valley) Phantoms, only to lose Games 6 and 7 in the City of Brotherly Love.
