That sounds like what happened to the Sharks in Game Four against Detroit. Sometimes, teams get cocky when they've got a substantial lead, and think they don't have to show up and play. It's how they play in the game after a big loss that's important. Either they'll pull together and come back hard, or they'll fall apart and go even deeper into the hole.
One of the Hawks announcers says that the Hawks play better on the road. They simplify their game, and don't try to get cute or complicated. Sort of negates the Home Ice advantage, but no one ever said it was logical, I guess. We'll see what happens tomorrow night in Vancouver.
