Roughing calls are always hard to call, and people generally expect the refs to be more lenient since it's the playoffs. Some are and some aren't.
I didn't pick anyone to beat the Canucks and I'm not about to start. The line up is way too deep.
Canucks almost swept the defending champs. Yes, the Hawks came back but they closed it out. Then they beat a hot team in Nashville who beat a hot team in Anaheim (two of the best streaking teams leading up to the playoffs) and they beat them in 6.
Sharks beat a declining Kings who let go of the 4 spot and dropped all the way to 7. Then had to go to a game 7 with a banged up Detroit team.
Kessler is a machine.
The Sedin brothers know exactly where each is going to be at on the ice.
A top defense squad lead by Kieska.
Luongo on the net. Hell, the backup goalie posted a 16-4 record.
Not trying to rain on anyone's parade and I'm happy for San Jose but Vancouver is about to run a train on the Sharks.
