Dear Hockey God,
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This years playoff adversity is deja-vu all over again, except this time you didn’t wait until the second round. Sheesh, it only took 3 games for the “big test of adversity” to take place for our beloved Sharkies.
This version of the Sharks has stated since day 1 of the season they will be judged by how they do in the playoffs. This version of the Sharks has said they are different from the teams who lost in the second round in the last two playoffs. This version of the Sharks get virtually the same test as the previous two playoff teams. I mean, you can’t be anymore fair than that!

It’s put up or shut up time here in San Jose. Turn it around and take the series, or duck and cover.
Ron better coach his arse off—his job is definitely on the line.
(and that sound you hear is Brian Campbell’s UFA salary offer getting smaller and smaller...that or the Joe Thornton naysayers getting louder and louder)

For the record, the “big test of adversity” that the Sharks had to face in the second round the last two playoff years was:
1) Having a 2-0 lead in a best of seven
2) Having a 2-1 lead in a best of seven
and then having to close those series out.
This seems to be a different struggle.
