Tonight it was the Sharks unable to sustain the pressure of the first ten minutes of the game. (Actually, 13:01, the amount of time Niemi was in net, giving up three goals on eight shots.)
Sigh.
The loss pushes the Sharks further down an even larger mountain they have to conquer to make the playoffs. (Stats someone on twitter quoted is that the probability of the Sharks making the playoffs is down to ~6%)
Regardless of their playoff status, the team should have the pride to play hard for 60+ minutes every night.
