Searching for air with a monkey on their back

That gagging sound you hear? It wouldn't be the San Jose Sharks again would it? The biggest playoff chokers of the last decade still have plenty of time to go in their series but the top seed in the West has lost Game 1 to the Avalanche, 2-1. The eighth-seeded Avalanche scored the winner with under a minute left in the third when Chris Stewart threw the puck in front of the net and it deflected off the skate of Rob Blake and into his own net.

The booing in Shark Tank at that moment was insane. Those fans have to feel like they've seen this movie before. No one knows how to fold in the playoffs quite like the Sharks although, in fairness to them, I think they have a lot of players who really enjoy golfing.
