I'll never forget this.
Game 6 of the 1994 Western Conference semifinal, San Jose at Toronto. The game goes to overtime, tied at two. In the extra frame, Johan Garpenlov had a golden opportunity to win the game and the series for the Sharks.
I was sure he scored. My brother was sure he scored. We began celebrating the elimination of our least favourite team in sports, let alone the NHL.
He hit the crossbar
Moments later, Toronto scored to stretch the series to a seventh game, which they also won.
Do you guys think that the Sharks, had they eliminated the two best teams in the Western Conference (remember the miracle upset of Detroit in the previous round), could have dispatched the 7th seeded Canucks in the Conference Finals, or would fatigue and inexperience have caught up to them?
