Yes the sharks really fail at the playoffs for the last 7 years. Whats it been...1994 since the rangers won a cup? Isn't that when the sharks were only 2 years old? Its a young team but at least they have always been a threat and if they get stopped this year...well, I dont know ...it seems like the best hope for a cup for my team. At least the front office thinks so, with all the vets they have. The potential is there but lately they look shit. Rangers haven't had such a gleaming past, I dont know why you think puffing your chest out about the rangers of all teams is going to work in your favor. You picked up Avery...you dont have much to stand on this season...rangers will not make the big show. Sharks might not either...the way they have been playing. You sound like a stereotypical new yorker that thinks NY has all the best teams. That cocky attitude that created that stereotype makes me really enjoy when NY teams lose. |
The Sharks have been the most beast this season that I've ever seen them (<3 Marleau, Boyle and Clowe in my hockey pool). But come playoffs, there are going to be 3 BEASTLY playoff-style teams to contend with in the form of Vancouver, Calgary and Detroit. It's been a long time since I've seen so many teams, each with 2 legitimate top lines, each with two legitimate top-2 defense, and 3 outa the 4 have outstanding goaltenders... Nevermind the other teams that fill out the final 4 spots. Shit, that western conference is looking to be an amazing set of playoff games.
Then I look at the East... lol Rangers win the cup? They'll be lucky to make it out of the 1st round. They have an outstanding goaltender, and then what? Do they even have a top line? Antropov went from being the top forward on a shitty team with a shitty goaltender, now he's the top forward on a shitty team with a good goaltender... Wow! Things are lookin up for them lol. I hope you're right and they go on a tear though, Lundqvist is my goalie in my hockey pool! In the east the top contenders are clearly Boston and New Jersey, it's a shame the Caps don't have a goalie, but the 2 guaranteed goals every game from Ovechkin and Semin will definitely go a long way in the playoffs.
My playoff final has Bruins vs Sharks (I wouldn't be surprised to see Vancouver make it though, Luongo is probably the best goalie in the league, and Sundin is CLUTCH, and clutch is key ). Tim Thomas is playing in another world this year, if he gets hot in the playoffs, it'll game over.
