LAS VEGAS — Pete DeBoer should launch a career as a political-campaign manager when his coaching days are over.
The Sharks bench boss found a way to put a positive spin on the worst-playoff loss in franchise history Thursday, noting that the Vegas Golden Knights won’t be getting any extra points for the touchdown they put on the scoreboard in their Game 1 win. Regardless of the ugly final score, the series deficit is the same: 1-0.
Here’s some more good news: the last time the Sharks lost a playoff game by seven goals, a 9-2 defeat at the hands of the Calgary Flames on May 11, 1995, they came back to win the series in seven games.
