Shattering

All season long we've wondered if this San Jose Sharks team would be able to overcome adversity come playoff time.

Adversity has arrived in the form of a crushing 4-3 defeat at the hands of the Calgary Flames, in a game the Sharks led 3-0 only a few minutes in.

If this team is going to respond, they need to respond Right Now. Otherwise they are going to be ushered out of the playoffs in the first round by a Flames team that feels like Supermen right now.

The only upside is that I've been working on taking this stuff less seriously, and this is about as savage a test as I can imagine being put through.

I'm going to bed.
