What happens in San Jose ...

... depends on your point of view.

If you're the Las Vegas Golden Knights, 5-4 losers in Game 7 in overtime to the San Jose Sharks last night, you got epically screwed by a five-minute penalty that happened because a routine shove on a faceoff ended horribly.

If you're the Sharks, you Won One For Pavs, aka Joe Pavelski, the guy who got shoved by Cody Eakin, stumbled into Paul Stastny and hit the ice headfirst -- a scary moment, and the factor that convinced the officials to hand down a fiver instead of two minutes for cross-checking, which opened the door to four straight goals by the all-but-dead Sharks.

"It's a f---ing joke. To call five minutes for that? It changed the whole outcome of the game," the Golden Knights' Jonathan Marchessault fumed after the Sharks ended his season. "Like, seriously, what is that?"

He does have  a point. The Golden Knights were up 3-0 and cruising when Pavelski went down, a hit the officials didn't even initially see. Then, suddenly, it was 4-3, San Jose. Then it was 4-4 and going to overtime. Then San Jose won it.

On the other hand ...

On the other hand, how do you give up four goals in four minutes, even shorthanded?

How are you even in a Game 7, considering you had a 3-1 lead in the series at one point?

So, yes, the fiver never happens if Pavelski doesn't fall wrong, which doesn't seem right. But, also yes, this was the choke job of all choke jobs by the Golden Knights.

Sometimes two things both can be true. Lesson for today.
