Now, for some reason, the Sharks have been involved in two consecutive series where the opponent has elected to beat up on them when they’re behind in scoring — also known as going full Ducks. In round one, this made sense, as the team the Sharks played was literally the Anaheim Ducks and who would the Ducks be if their purpose in life wasn’t trying to drive a composite stick into someone’s spine?
The bigger surprise was at the end of the Game 4 beating, when the Las Vegas Golden Knights took up the banner from Anaheim.
