Kevin Constantine, the first coach to take the Sharks to the playoffs, always preached about "critical moments" and "grey-area turnovers."
Critical moments are the chances in a game when a team has an opportunity to take control of or seize momentum in a game.A Grey-Area Turnover (G.A.T.) is turning over the puck at or near the defensive or offensive zone blue lines.In Game 3, the Sharks were failing during a critical moment, a four-minute powerplay. The power play was the Sharks chance not only to erase a 2-1 deficit but, more important, to stay in the series. It was not going well.
