PITTSBURGH – It’s a bleak situation the Sharks find themselves in, down three-games-to-one to the Penguins headed into Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final at Consol Energy Center.
But, there’s at least one positive recent experience that the Sharks can draw upon as they attempt to prevent commissioner Gary Bettman from handing over the silver chalice to Sidney Crosby at center ice later on Thursday.
When facing elimination this postseason, the Sharks won Game 7 against Nashville in the second round. Further, it was perhaps the best game of their playoff run, as they smoked the Predators at SAP Center, 5-0.
