Nice series summary. From the Sharks side, I'd say you're disrespecting Vlasic a tad... he will be far more important in this series than Murray. Murray may be an imposing physical player, but he has to catch up to play first, and he will have a difficult time doing that.
My key to the series is how well the Sharks forwards get in on the Blues D and contest puck recovery on dump-ins, and zone exits. The Sharks have had problems with teams that can move the puck quickly out of their d-zone (Hawks, Canucks), and the Blues this year pose those same challenges.
