Any other NHL fans on the site?

Hey I get to watch the game tonight. I don't have Versus and didn't realize it was on FSN tonight.

Fucken hell the Sharks are making more mistakes in their own zone in these playoffs then I've seen all year combined. Pavelski gives the puck away in his own zone twice in 3 minutes and it results in 2 goals. And he does it again and a stick save. Sharks need something big Dallas is controlling the puck this third period.

I didn't see the game tonight, but I'm surprised that Dallas has gone up 2-0 on SJ. I still wouldn't be surprised if the series went 7 games though.

CFH, you only hate the Leafs because you know deep down they're Canada's team. Westerners.

Are you from the center of the universe, I mean Toronto? I know you're just kidding around, and I don't want to start bashing Ontario/Toronto.
I don't really have anything against the Leafs or their fans, but I, like many other Canadians, very much resent having all things Toronto rammed down my throat on a consistant basis.

But that's what's so great about being Canadian... that and and the taxes!

Looks like the Sharks are done. I imagine this means the end of Ron Wilson. Do you think they'll be trading a fair number of players as well?

Well Thornton, Cheecho, Marleau Nbakov and Michalek are all signed long term and not likely to go anywhere. Out of all them I would think Marleau to be the most likely to go and I'm pretty sure he has a no trade clause. But he had a great playoffs. So I think they come back with the same core line. Setoguchi has been one of the few bright spots these playoffs I think he is coming into his own. Same with Pavelski aside from Game 2 this series. Ehrhoff, Rivet and Murray have left much to be desired so I wouldn't mind them trying to sure up the defense. That's pretty much the hump right now. The Sharks are deadly when they aren't backed up in their own zone and that's where they have been most of these 10 games in the playoffs.

It seems like with all their talent, for whatever reason, that they are very fragile mentally. From what I've seen they do very well when they have the lead, but once they fall behind they seem to collapse mentally. I think a big part of that is Wilson (who I do not like at all), but I think they could use a bit of a personal shake-up. Maybe they're all to comfortable, seeing one or two veteran players shipped out could be just what the team needs. It would instill a bit of desperation. They really remind me of the old Canucks (except the Sharks have much better goaltending) in that they have all the talent they need, but they are somehow lacking something.
