As if the first four games of the Sharks-Kings series weren’t physically charged enough, Game 5 was set to be the nastiest rumble of them all.

Hard hits in the latter part of Game 4 down in LA carried some bitter feelings in an already-tense series between two teams that really don’t like each other. It was a vibe that you could feel throughout the Tank as you entered Saturday afternoon before anyone else had arrived.

Now, if I could only get my hair to behave today…

Until the next puck drops,
