San Jose Sharks: Kings Blow 4-0 Lead, Lose in OT, Is the Series Over?

San Jose Sharks Rallied For An Epic Comeback Win Last Night, Is The Series Over?
Any time you're down 4-0 in the NHL playoffs, you don't have much hope to actually win the game.
Tell that to the San Jose Sharks, who came all the way back from that deficit in the second period of last night's contest to win 6-5 in overtime. It was a stunning, amazing comeback from the Sharks, who kept fighting on the road to take home ice back and a 2-1 series lead.
With this game in the rearview, let's be honest, this series is over.
There is no way a team can blow a lead that big, that quickly, and manage to somehow respond to this and win the series.
Overtime losses can always swing the momentum of a series, and to have lost in the extra frame twice, and blowing what should have been an insurmountable lead, is just too much for any team to overcome.

It was a choke job of massive proportions and there is no way this team can recover.
Los Angeles got lazy and let a San Jose back into it because the Sharks didn't roll over and die like the Kings thought they would.
Let this game be a lesson to everyone in the NHL playoffs right now, never assume you have a team beat, because if your opponent keeps scrapping and you get lazy, by the time you snap out of it, it's much too late.
Give credit to the Sharks for continuing to play hard when most teams would have folded it in and lived to fight another day. San Jose proved that good things can happen when you keep playing at maximum effort for a full game.
The Kings will head home after this series and they'll only have themselves to blame for their lazy, uninspired play after taking a huge lead.
