SAN JOSE -- Peter DeBoer was not in the mood to talk X's and O's.
His San Jose Sharks lost 6-3 to the St. Louis Blues in Game 4 of the Western Conference Final on Saturday. Instead of taking a 3-1 series lead, setting the team record for Stanley Cup Playoff wins in a single season and coming within a victory of their first Cup Final, they let the Blues tie the series 2-2. They assured this best-of-7 will go at least six games.
