The only team that legit worries me in the playoffs is Vegas. The depth we have is unrivalled in the west
I agree with this. We'll have to see how the Sharks look against Vegas with Stone. I'm not sure that is enough for Vegas. These past few games this team is back-checking like crazy and really playing up-tempo and physical in all zones. A healthy Kane and Thornton might be enough.
Calgary does not have the depth to compete with the Sharks. Their blue-line is an injury away from falling apart and Kane, Hertl, and Meier are going to punish Giordano every chance they get. Hell, they are going to punish any team over a 7 game series.
Winnipeg reminds me of past Sharks teams. To me, they are a top heavy contender bolstered by a top power play. Even with Big Buff and Morrissey, this Sharks team destroys them 5 on 5. Is Nashville better? I am honestly not sure.
This team also matches up incredibly well with Tampa...the Sharks should be able to handle Boston and Toronto. If the goal-tending holds up, DW
