San Jose Sharks trolled the Atlanta Falcons after they dropped a lead and lost in overtime
Oh, the agony of watching a big lead slip right through your fingers on the biggest stage.
The Golden State Warriors have felt it. The Cleveland Indians have felt it. And, most recently, the Atlanta Falcons have felt it.
The San Jose Sharks poked some fun at the Falcons, who on Sunday led Super Bowl LI 28-3 but fell victim to the Patriots historic comeback, eventually losing in overtime. San Jose experienced a similar pain on Wednesday night, though their 5-4 overtime loss to Buffalo was largely inconsequential, considering it came midseason.
"At least it wasn't in the Super Bowl," the Sharks said on Twitter, referring to their own overtime loss.
The Sharks and Falcons both lost a game that looked all but won. But as the Sharks pointed out, it hurts a lot more when that happens on the biggest stage in sports. The Sharks know that feeling too — San Jose lost the Stanley Cup Finals last year.
For their sake, let's hope this tweet doesn't come back to haunt them if San Jose reaches the Stanley Cup again.
