Well, since Owen Nolan is my favorite player, and the B's have already choked, I think I gotta run with the Sharks - that game last night was sick, except for the part when the Sharks converted 4 odd-man rushes in the 3rd period into 2 shots and 0 goals. Good job boys. Jesus.
The Sharks dominated a good 10 min stretch to start the 3rd period, no excuse for losing that game. No reason to have to go back to Colorado for a game 7.
The Sharks aren't a great match-up for Detroit - their D can be a little suspect at times (see Reinprecht's walk-around goal), and Nabokov is streaky like it's his job. However, they could definitely get up on the Wings quickly, like they did on the Avs.
As far as the east - I have no love for the freaking Hurricanes or the Leafs, but I love watching the Sens play, so go Ottawa - bring back the olden days of Senators hockey.
