the sharks are just winning every way possible this year it is crazy. I want to call them Stanley Cup favorites, but there is a little nagging voice in the back of my head that tells me they will lose to a lower seeded team. I can't explain it, because they are good from the goal out, yet something still bugs me about them. |
they looked excellent last year and then did that very thing. You've got to wonder if they have the mentality to go up against say Anaheim or Detroit in the finals of the west and take it. If they can get to the final I think they have a great chance. |

| I think a surprise will come out of the west this year for an odd reason. no detroit,anaheim or sj. the odds are against this for sure, just call it a hunch. |

possibly, but I dunno who it'd be. teams like calgary go on the odd run but don't seem to be able to string it together long-term, but could easily turn over someone in the playoffs.
I still predict the following 8 for the final 4 in each though
east: washington, montreal, NYR, Boston/Pitts
west: chicago, san jose, anaheim, detroit
Chicago impressed me when i saw them, good young players and seemed to play as a team, but it's pretty much up in the air as to if they could go far this time. |

| they are very dangerous but inconsistent on the blue line and in goal. |

Well the sharks are the best at choking in the playoffs...for the last 7 years in a row. Im not letting this great looking record make me cocky about it. The season is only 1/4 the way done. These other teams will finally come around and be very effective. Bluejackets were able to get the sharks confused a bit but couldnt keep the pace up.
Sharks vs oilers tonight. This should be fun to watch. Usually a lot of fights. Always a fun game. Hope the sharks can keep moving forward. Lots of improvement left still.
Checking out the boston/florida game in the meantime. |
