Roy Sommer and the San Jose Barracuda find themselves in an unfamiliar position entering Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals against the Grand Rapids Griffins tonight.
For starters, this iteration of the Barracuda has not trailed in a series all postseason. Plus, the last time a Sharks AHL affiliate trailed two games to one entering the fourth game of a best-of-seven series was seven years and a city ago.
Then, the Worcester Sharks trailed the Manchester Monarchs in their second round series, the second straight season they faced such a deficit. Just as they had the previous season, Worcester won Game 4 to tie the series.
