ST. LOUIS — Sharks coach Pete DeBoer wasn’t having any talk that his team has been lucky at various points in the postseason.
“It irks me when you use words like that because this is a team that’s played (four) elimination games,” DeBoer said Thursday. “Not moments, games. Twelve to 15 periods of elimination hockey, against Vegas, against Colorado in Game 7.
“I think it’s a ridiculous statement.”
The Sharks will take a 2-1 series lead in the Western Conference Final over the St. Louis Blues into Game 4 on Friday after defenseman Erik Karlsson scored in overtime to give San Jose a 5-4 win in Game 3.
