The Sharks know what they’re in for Monday when they venture inside what’s certain to be a loud and boisterous Scottrade Center.
A supportive, Blues-bleeding fan base, rejuvenated by their team’s decisive and series-evening 6-3 win Saturday, will be poised to remind San Jose it’s unwelcome for Game 5 of the Western Conference finals.
And if San Jose plans to sneak in and out of town with a 3-2 series lead — hoping it doesn’t have to return for a deciding Game 7 on Friday — it must rebound from Saturday’s clunker the way it has from four of its five earlier playoff losses.
