If you’re here after last night, you may have a problem.
The last game of the 2019 NHL Stanley Cup playoffs’ first round is tonight and, after what was maybe the most exhilarating game in San Jose Sharks history (if not NHL playoff history), it’s pretty much guaranteed to be a bit of a letdown. Still, maybe a little step back in intensity is what we need after the Sharks’ emotional Game 7 win over the Vegas Golden Knights took two years off of the end of our lives. If you’re still in need of a fix, the Carolina Hurricanes are trying to knock off the defending Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals in a winner-takes-all game this afternoon.
