Don't discount the Stars. That squad can play.
Only thing missing in the Kings - Sharks is a 3 point line and a shot clock.
Wait til they get Seguin back the offensive fire power Stars have is sic.
Still think they are not as strong between the pipes as some of the other teams, but then again if you put up goals like the Stars you don't need it.
Gonna be another wild series.. Though I think the Kings will get back to their structured game a bit more. That was an un-King like performance last night. Kings registered 22 hits in the first period. An insane number. Those things add up if the series goes 6 or 7.
Sharks are a great road team and horrible at home. go figure.
.
Which is amazing Canada has no teams in the playoffs, and California is not considered a hotbed of hockey has 3.
Though lots of the players like living here so that helps attract talent.
Looking forward to Blues-Hawks game 2 tonight.. That along with the Kings Sharks are the most intriguing first rounds series out there.
Did I mention I love the NHL playoffs. No primadonna's just men pounding the crap out of each other night in and night out trying to win the GREATEST trophy in all of sports.
