Well, if the Sharks want the league’s attention on their series, they got it with the longest OT (so far) of this year’s playoffs. And THE talking point Friday around water coolers and radio mikes around the continent is on Pavelski’s disallowed goal.
On Friday, both teams traveled to San Jose in advance of game 5.
(Should be some morning skate stories that come up; hope to add them.)
