Sometimes hockey Twitter accounts get along. Other times they do not. We’re thinking it’s going to be a long time before the Vegas Golden Knights forgive the San Jose Sharks for this absolutely vicious blow thrown during the Sharks Game 1 vs. Colorado.
In case you’ve been living under a rock for the few four days or so, we’ll fill you in. The San Jose Sharks completed two unbelievable comebacks; one in their first round series vs. the Knights in which they were trailing 3-1, and one in Game 7 in which they were trailing 3-0 with half a period to play.
Thanks in part to a 5-minute major penalty dished out to Cody Eakin, one which the NHL has since apologized to Gerard Gallant for, the Sharks managed to score four goals in absolutely no time all while up a man.
Golden Knights fans are understandably upset that the penalty led to their elimination, but Sharks fans respond that it’s on them for allowing four (4!!) power-play goals against in the clutch.
Anyway, now we’ve moved onto Round 2 and while bitter feeling will always remain, it’s time to start forgetting the past, right?
The Sharks Twitter account disagrees. When Brenden Dillon was assessed a 4-minute penalty for high-sticking, the Sharks successfully killed it off, and then...
SAN JOSE FROM THE TOP ROPES.
The shot wasn’t even tongue-in-cheek, it was straight up blatant. Some would call it disrespectful, others would call it hilarious. Absolutely everyone would call it savage.
