from Mark Purdy of the Mercury News,
The Tank had better be full of fuel for the Sharks.
Because the situation is now very basic. After losing the first two games here of their first Stanley Cup Final, the Sharks will return home to SAP Center and need all the octane they can muster. Otherwise, their next two games might be their last two games of the Final.
That's just the blunt fact. After losing a 2-1 overtime game on Wednesday night in that sudden-crusher way only playoff hockey can produce, the Sharks effectively face a must-win game on Saturday to keep their hopes alive of winning a Cup.
Time for defiant words? Time for defiant words.
"We can't be frustrated," said Shark defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic. "We know we're so close. We're going to go home. You're only out when you lose four games, not two."
