Why am I so down?

5 years I've lived here in SJ and have only been to one Sharks game. I never considered myself a fan and was indifferent to hockey chatter. But tonight I find myself mourning our boys. They played their hearts out hustlin and sweatin across the ice only to be upped by one goal in a grueling quadruple overtime on a powerplay. Damn that was a good game; hockey's found itself a new fan. We'll see them next year...GO SHARKS!!!
