I'm going to go out on a limb and say if the Sharks lose tonight then they are done. And here's why: If the Kings come back and we get to a game 7, the King's will win. By winning tonight the Kings will get even stronger and doubt will creep in for the Sharks. This series has been the most evenly matched and close of all the series--coming down to the last 10 seconds and an OT. While some think the King's did not play that well for the first two games, I think these teams are just squeaking out a win on the other--nobody has stole one yet.
If the Sharks win tonight, then they go to LA and possibly lose but then they can come back home and prove themselves by taking it. Sharks need to win in 6 because if they go back to LA for a 7..odds are going to favor the Kings.
