Sharks Change Like The Weather

from Mark Purdy of the Mercury News,
Last week when our beloved Los Tiburones visited here for Games 3 and 4 of their playoff series with the Calgary Flames, the air was 55-degrees but often sunny and spring-like. Now it’s tundra-like. There’s nearly a foot of snow on the ground. The temperature? Low teens. I’m glad I brought my wool beanie.
It is fine hockey weather, for sure. But it is also fine metaphor weather. Because, yes, the climate of this series also has changed dramatically over the past seven days.
A week ago tonight, you might recall, the Sharks rolled back to their team hotel in a dark cloud. They were trailing in the series, two games to one - after blowing a three-goal lead for the first time in franchise playoff history.
After that horrific Game 3, the Sharks locker room was a stew of cliches that, frankly, provoked a lot of eye-rolling among cynical media types. Including me.

You can go to the same article at the Mercury News three time and visit 3 different URLs. Weird. Something is up with their online registration.
