Don't judge us all based on a few overconfident fans.

Just for the record, I think that the Sharks let the wrong goalie go. It's something not many Shark fans like to admit, especially after Kippy sent us packing in 2005. But, at the time, Kipper really gave the Sharks no reason to keep him. He wasn't the best of the three at the time. Regardless, trading him to his former coach should have raised some flags. it didn't. But, don't discount how well Nabby can play when he is hot. And, he was pretty hot to close out the series. Both goalies should play well, but I don't really expect either to steal this series. Also, I don't think most Shark fans are taking the Red Wings lightly. Sure, some are saying it will be an easy series, but I think it's more a sigh of relief of not having to play the Ducks. Do the Sharks matrch up better with the Wings than the Duck? Maybe not, but we are still shell shocked over a Pronger led team knocking us out of the playoffs in 2006, and we had much more succes against the Wings during the regular season than we did against the Ducks. But, of course, we should realize as well as anyone that that means squat. The Sharks were only 1-2-1 against the Preds in the regular season. This should be a great series. Here's to a great match-up. Go Sharks.
