did the rangers not go 3-1 versus the Sabres this year? - blacksheep1
sure. I'll keep it simple - 4 points out of 8. 4-1 Loss, 2 OT losses, 4-1 Win. They played them well this year, despite the large delta in the standings. Sbares have been a much better team the last two months. IMHO with Myers and Ehrhoff they win that series. Without them...no way.
Put the pipe down and sloooooowly back away. There's help for that condition.
Kings, Blues, Wings & Nux each > Sharks
I'd have the 'Hawks in that list too but w/o Toews (he just ain't right) the 'Hawks will be lucky to win a couple games vs the Kings. - blackhawk24
The sharks beat the Kings last year in the first round, and beat Detroit in the second round for the last two years...? idek the last time the blues made it to the playoffs so we'll see how that goes for them. Now that the sharks are healthy and ready to roll, they're gonna surprise people.
