The gauntlet was thrown down and the Sharks bit off Axel's hand as he tried to pick it up...
After being insulted publically by the league's greybeard, the Sharks displayed a passion that has been rarely seen this year. Despite being behind 1-0 and 2-1 the players refused to give in and, with just 23 seconds remaining in the game, solid rookie Jerred Smithson forced the game into OT. The Flames were too tired (likely due to their advanced age) to even put up a fight and were outshot 4-0 in OT. Boyd Devereaux scored the winner at 1:44 (jeez Axel, a $1.44 day special? Ah, brings back memories, eh?).
The Sharks dominated the the season match-up with the Flames, winning 3 of 4. It is a testiment to the spirit of these young players (they really like breezing by these old guys and their walkers!) that they saved the best efforts for the best teams.
