This one's going 7. Default prediction. lol

 

[Mafoofoo]

Ok lets murder these piss colored jersey fools and send them golfing as soon as we can.

 

[Timo Time]

Here we go. Stage two begins Friday.

 

[WTFetus]

Woops, forgot to add a poll. Give it a few minutes.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Only pacific team left.

 

[T0uGh C0oki3]

I really don't like our chances against the Preds.

Rinne was god-like tonight, and that D-pairing is just insane...........
Weber is going to murder us with his missiles .

Preds in 4.

*I am working my magic.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Should be a grinder.

 

[The Great Weal]

Josi was pretty meh in the 1st round lets hope it stays that way.

 

[Church Hill]

Similar team to the Kings, but worse. Sharks won't have the same emotion as they did against LA, but they'll hopefully not need it as Nashville will be worn down as well.

Hoping for Sharks in 7

Rinne was god-like tonight.

Ehh, he didn't look that good. Lots of lucky bounces. But I do appreciate your reverse-jinxing.

 

[Levie]

Did anyone see the ticket prices for this series? Outrageous.... Nothing cheaper than $116.00 for Game 5?? Really? I hate our stupid TV contract.

 

[ChaseANA]

hi guys. Ducks just lost so I'm pulling for you. Can I join the wagon?

P.s. You will beat NSH w ease. Ducks played down to poor opponents all year. Disappointing.

Good luck!!

 

[Kcoyote3]

Hop on.

Great. I'm going to need a Pavelski avi.

 

[Bowie22]

We got this. NSH cant possibly have the kinda interference and obstruction LA plays with, right???

Oh it's worse trust me. Weber got away with so much. Same with Gaustad.

 

[Pavelski2112]

Great. I'm going to need a Pavelski avi.

Check out our playoff avatars thread. They're free-for-all, so go for it.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Weird stat is that all teams that advanced this year won game one of the series. I think that means the most to the Sharks as opposed to the other teams. A game one win in SJ after the layoff can get the ball rolling. If they can keep guys like Johansen and Forsberg off the board, I'll like their chances. But the Preds have a hell of a defense with what they play in the playoffs. However, there is an opportunity to get on them quickly to start and play physically to wear them down as the series progresses...especially their defensemen. They're very reliant on their top four so they have to make it as taxing as possible.

[Anomie2029]

Was hoping for Ducks to be honest...

We now have home ice "advantage".

 

[clunk]

This will be an easier series than LA but will last longer... Sharks win convincingly though in 6. As someone mentioned, the Sharks won't have as much of a drive to beat the Preds as they did LA, but 'we' have a better team.

Becareful everyone. This may be some kind of reverse jinx or curse he is trying to pass on.

 

[Jargon]

I don't know about this whole drive thing. Yeah, the Sharks wanted to beat the Kings, but I think they're just as eager to prove to people that they're not playoff failures -- I think that's particularly true of Pavelski and Thornton. You can just see it in them.

Considering Nashville basically played in turtle-mode this entire last game, you gotta imagine they're going to be exhausted coming in on Friday. Sharks have to come in, hit them, make them work and win the first game, and I think we can beat them.

Their defense scares me, though.
