Sharkies like to choke in the playoffs but it comes down to Jonathan Quick really.

Wouldn't back Quick/Bernier whoever the hell is in net for LA. I'll take the experienced Sharks in 5.

Sharks win in 5. Don't waste your money.

Quick isn't bad at all.

Canuck, are you worried a bit about Luongo's playoff performance from last year effecting his mind-set? I realize the guy was crazy good this season...............just asking.

I took the Sharks in the series.

Kopitar injury ends all hope for the Kings. We all know San Jose and score and I don't think Quick can shut down this offense for entire series. There's only so much Quick can do and I don't see anyone from LA stepping up to fill Anze's skates..

Kopitar, Kings best player is out...huge loss. Not to mention the Sharks have been streaking heading in and the Kings have been slumping. Maybe a little overvalued but for good reason. They want Kings money.

this line is predictably ridiculous

Seeing him in the media and reading the newspapers he said he's never felt this confident in his game. Of course it's in the back of his mind, but if they can grab Game 1 I'm sure there's no looking back. He knows this is a different Chicago team.

Sharks had 48 wins and the Kings 46 on the year. The teams split 6 games each winning 3. I get that Kopitar being out is a negative for the Kings. Sharks have the better O and the Kings have a slightly better D, but a much better penalty killing unit.

Sharks -280
Kings +220

Enlighten me please.

Lots of injuries plus the sharks have been on a tear lately.

i dont really watch hockey, cept playoffs, ill get involved a bit but i did find this weird that this is the only series where the favorite was the team getting hit. sharks sweep worth a chance?

Mammon · 04-13-11, 10:45 AM

Honestly, this is the best Sharks team ever..... No choke this year...
