The Sharks, I dunno what to think of them to be honest. Either they are are the luckiest team in the league, will bow out in the second round, and go back to mediocrity next year; or they have the best leadership in the league, and are a scary ass dynasty. They have no superstars in the pipeline but they seem to have a scouting system built for blue collar, hard working role players. Add to that they seem to have 3 good goalies in the works, PLUS who they have on the ice now, and I admit, I'm nervous.
I don't think they'll take the cup this year, but as a Canucks fan, I really REALLY hope that this year is a fluke for them. If this is just the start of a greater trend, I'm nervous.

We need more teams in the West so that Detroit can be an Eastern Confrence team.
I agree that the Sharks are an oddity in a way, but I surely can't complain. It wasn't long ago when most of us Sharks fans have given up hope. Suddenly they start winning; a lot. I almost felt badly for the Stars. Realistically, they won't make it to the cup, but considering the way they've beeen playing lately, I can't discout it completly. I know they'll beat Nashville, and they have a fair chance of beating the Flames. I don't know about the Red Wings...they've already made their pact with the devil.
It's exciting to see how a hockey team from a town with no snow do so well. It reminds me of when the Sharks first arrived on the scene.
For the Canucks...you guys have an amazing team, and I suspect the real fluke was them not being in the top 8.
