Thanks for the vote of confidence, Jen.

Sometimes I cry, drink, and hate myself for loving hockey. Saturday was one of those times...


The Sharks took some stupid retaliation penalties early, then got out of rhythm. Everyone tried to individually do everything: Murray driving in and shooting, Clowe taking 2:25 shift, etc. That just makes things worse. Couple a persistently questionable PK and about ten minor penalties, with some lackluster D during 5-5 and we were doomed.

There is no bad team in the Pacific and I do think the Kings *could* get past the Sharks. I still think the Sharks are *better* overall and in a seven game series, we should take them out. Having a tough first round doesn't bode well for a cup run, but it's what I expected from the start. I expect to face the Wings, then Vancouver, then the east. Ouch.

Sharks in six...!

I have been surprised that the B's didn't put up more of a fight. I suppose the Wings are always a force in the playoffs, but I'd expected Phoenix to win a couple of games.
