ST. LOUIS — Don’t tell San Jose coach Peter DeBoer his Sharks have gotten lucky during their playoff run.
“It irks me when you use words like that because this is a team that we’ve played four or five elimination games, not moments, games, 12 to 15 periods of elimination hockey against Vegas and Colorado,” DeBoer said. “I think it’s a ridiculous statement.”
Ridiculous or not, the Sharks have had their fair share of puck luck during their run.
The latest example came Wednesday night on Erik Karlsson’s game-winning goal against St. Louis in overtime.
