The San Jose Sharks’ matchup against the New York Rangers was a big night. Not only because it was the first time the Sharks had been to Madison Square Garden to see the Rangers in almost two years, but because of a friendly bet. Kevin Labanc, who was born in Brooklyn, NY but was raised in Staten Island was set to lose money if the Sharks completed the sweep of the tri-state area. He said pre-game that he’s “never been more excited to lose money.”
At least he was excited about it, because the sweep never came.
