Game 5 Could Mean All..for Sharks. I Hate Afternoon Playoff Games

It is 2 in the afternoon, and we are one hour away from game 5 in the Western Final...

First off, let me just say I can't stand afternoon games in the playoffs, and I fully believe if the NHL were to poll its fans it would be 75% against...at least.

Why?

Well...first off. I have kids and anyone with kids knows that weekend days are precious and the kids have stuff they need to do...places they need to be driven too, etc. I mean this is MY JOB, which is a wonderful justifiable excuse for stayng in...but even I feel like a jerk saying I can't help out on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon...

Secondly..

It is the spring. We have waited a long time to get to this weather and instead of taking a hike or working on the yard with the kids...We are sitting inside and watching TV.

Finally....

The Players really hate it. They are creatures of habit. They want to play at night.... and while regular season games in the afternoon are fine, a GAME 5 in the conference Final....kind of sucks...

Anyway....pointless to complain...There is a big game about to happen...

Sharks face a must win....


While it sounds obvious that the team that loses Game 5 in a 2-2 series is in trouble, the Sharks haven't looked good in St Louis in this series since the first 10 minutes of game 3. The Blues are hungry and given a chance to close it out at home in game 6 I am not sure these Sharks can get this to a Game 7.
