When the final score of the 49ers’ playoff game with the Green Bay Packers was shown on the SAP Center’s JumboTron, a 13-10 San Francisco win, the cheers from the announced crowd of 14,193 were almost as loud as those for Megna’s goal, or anything else the Sharks did Saturday night.

The Sharks had their worst first period of the season, allowing four goals in the opening 12:32 in what turned into a humbling 7-1 loss to the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Lightning.
