Writer M Y PAST and my present have been colliding all week, sticks high and elbows flying. Talk about divided loyalties. You grow up in St. Louis and you become a Blues fan. You bounce around the country, winding up in California. Four years later the Sharks arrive.
New allegiances form.
And everything's hunky-dory until the two teams find themselves locked in the fury of a Stanley Cup battle. Then things get ugly. I'm too distraught to talk about it. Let Alan Nakisher explain. But deep down inside, if the Sharks lose, I'm not going to cry about it.
