Swear Word. Swear Word. Different Swear Word.

Every now and then a team will give up a goal late and let one slip away, but it has happened waaaaaaay too often to the Sharks this year. Tonight. That Anaheim game. That early one against the Bruins. Those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I'd go research the topic and get an exact count, but that would just be a bruising, depressing exercise, so forget it.

One could argue that the Sharks deserved to win tonight because they controlled 59/60ths of the game. But the fact is they deserved to lose because they let Calgary take it to them when it really counted.

With both Dallas and Anaheim en fuego, the Sharks cannot afford to let games like this get away. Period.

The last time something like this (very, very like this) happened, the Sharks went into a tailspin for about a fortnight. That can't happen now. We'll see how Thursday's game against Edmonton goes.
