Sharks basically have one line, maybe 1.5, which when playoff hockey comes around they get shutdown because penalties are called different and no more easy power play goals.

So then you go back to a series of coin flips. The CHI-PHX is the most perfect example.


Somehow Chicago is a super cup contender this year yet their team has not changed.

Playoff hockey is great but then you end up with two crap teams like the Kings-Devils playing for the Cup.
