I still say that the Sharks have a mental toughness this year. The 0-4 comeback. The 5-0 OT record. It's true no one fears them and they fear none, but they haven't had much respect, but they are earning it.

It's looking like thomas and the B's will come out of the east. Gosh I hope it's not Tampa Bay! A hot goal tender is what you need. Brian Boucher was a fan favorite here, so I'm glad to see he's factoring in there in Philly. It sounds like a circus though.

I'm not going to lie to you. I don't really like the Sharks too much. I don't like the fact that Bettman created all these expansion teams at the cost of Canadian teams(and the fact that he will NOT let the Phoenix situation go adds to that).

I DO respect what they as a team are doing, as they ARE playing very well. I don't see them winning the Cup, but that is not due to the play of the Sharks in the past. I think if they lose this year, it will be a hard-fought battle no matter what and that their label of chokers should not be given out to this year's group.

I also do not like Heatley very much. Canadian or not, I don't respect him very much.

The Sharks were very close to getting the sweep tonight. They came back from being down 3-0 and ended up losing 4-3. Even though they didn't get the sweep, I don't see Detroit making it past them.

If it is a Vancouver/San Jose Western final, I am rooting for Vancouver. That being said, I think it will be an entertaining series(lots of scoring chances), far more entertaining than the Vancouver/Nashville series currently going on.
