the sharks are the best team in the leauge... i mean who has a roster with as much talent and that goes as deep as them... i can wait to see big joe thornton lifting the stanley cup above his head!!!!!
yes they get regular production from their 4th line. in fact thats the line they start the game with, then go for the 1st. they cant even play some of their key players because there is no room for them in the lineup. ... and then when the first line gets going and thornton has like 4 points in a game (which happened 7+ times in the last month) we are unstopable. And then there is the second line with the Captian, and Guerrin... in fact last year sharks left the playoffs in the 2nd round, and Marleau was still leading in goals until the second to last round... they have all the pieces !!!!!
They're stacked but I feel Nashville and Buffalo play with better team chemistry. San Jose is one of my favourite teams, and Thornton my favourite player, but I still think it's unlikely they'll win the cup this year. The current series will probably go to 7 games.

Okay, I understand they do have depth, but I wouldn't go as far as saying that San Jose has more depth than any other team in the NHL. Especially the Wings and the Sabres, both those teams can roll 4 strong lines at you at any time.Â
well i sure hope they make it all the way... i love watching them... i have not missed a game all year... and i think that we have the stuff to go all the way... Once we click... which i have a good feeling saying we are going back to the tank monday!!!

What the heck was Boston thinking when they traded Joe Thornton? As long as San Jose doesn't make the mistake of relying on his line like last year the Sharks should do fine.Â
yeah... y would you just give up Joe Thornton.... and its not like the sharks gave up any all stars.... if you watch the sharks local channel there is this commercial that is like this is roy he is a boston bruins fan and cant seem to get the Joe thornton screen saver off his compurter..... then it is like this is Dan he is a computer technician and a sharks fan.... coincidence???
and i think that is the best comercial ever... it really captures the whole trade
yes i have seen other hockey games... but it just hit me how stacked they are when i was comparing rosters with nashville.... then i started doing that with other teams in the playoffs. i have to say buffalo and detroit are the closest.... but detroit is all vets.. and the sharks have young guys that can keep their energy through all the playoffs
... yeah sergi got screwed.... the whole bruins team did... and now they lost stuart and bergeron... i think they need new people in the from office
yeah and they hit steve.... but there will be some major suspensions going to the nashville... they looking at 3 games... but i still hope cheechoo is ok
sharks have beat all those teams already... and none of them have the depth...especially nashville with the two suspensionsforum559
Alright, lets check it out...The season series vs Anaheim is 3-5-0, Advantage Anaheim. There season series with Detriot is 3-1-0, Advantage SJ, They havent even played buffalo yet...and there seaspn series with Nashville is 1-2-1, advantage Nashville, so you are obviously being just a plain old "fan" who doesnt know what his team has done and what not, the only advantage they have is over detriot.
yeah i will give it to you with the ducks... tho they are not on the tear they used to be on... but with nashville we had some major injuries on that last loss... one we were still waiting for rivet and guerrin to arive... then we were missing Marleau and Hannon (two captians) ... so we were missing 4 of our key players.... and yes this was after the Foresberg trade!!!
Finally...after all these years of ridicule...the ducks and its fans get some praise. and respect that they deserve. But it angers me how you said the sharks beat every single one of the teams I listed, when in fact the only series they won was vs Detriot, AND they havent even played buffalo :|
P.S: 1-0 Ducks and a PP coming up...god its good to be a ducks fan, some nice saves by backstrom though
yeah well ducks games where close and they dont have the momentum they had before..plus we have two new guys... and i didn't want to make it sound like the buffs where included in that... but .. we do have grier... that gives us a one up on them!!
so your a duck fan... i sure hope we see you in the playoffs... that would be the best series ever!!!
oh i forgot to mention we have to excellent goaltenders... who else has that
5-0 and 7-4 Wins for the ducks are close? I admit the other games have been close, like 3-2 and 2-1 and what not, and Giguere/Bryzgalov is a better tandem then Toskala/Nabokov. Also Vokoun/Mason isnt bad, or Fernandez/Backstrom
Edit: Also I agree it would be thet good series, but I would have to give it to the ducks, dont get me wrong I like the sharks, I think there a really good team, but there defense is less than stellar...and thats the sharks only flaw, or else I would seriously consider them to be the biggest threat of stanleys cup.
LMAO at this thread, the sharks are good, but you acting like their unstopable. if their so great why didnt they finish first in the west? their are a lot of teams with great depth. (detroit, nashville, bufflo, new jersey, dallas) and you can only play 1 golie at a time. the devils have the best golie in hockey, does that mean their a lock to win the cup? no.......................o and i did pick the sharks to go to the finals but they are not the best team on paper, dont make them out to be.
wow!!! even if i was not a sharks fan i would pick that goalie combo.... speaking of goalies i hope Robert Luongo gets the heart!!! he did so good this year
Cant you say anything else? No **** you cant play more than 1 goalie, but cant we talk about whats a better goalie combo? It helps if you can have a really good backup incase the starter goes down, who does NJ have? and to the sharks fan, I would defintley(sp?) take Giguere/Bryzgalov over Nabokov/Toskala. Easy.

The Sharks are my favorite team in all of sports. I live and die with this team, and I CANNOT wait until tomorrow when I can yell my head off in the tank. This will be a tough and long series, but I'm still picking the Sharks if we can make our power play more effective. We don't need to aim to take out their players, we just need to more physical and wear them down. I think we'll have a much better sense of direction of the series after tomorrow's game. GO SHARKS!!!

I agree wholeheartedly, the West is completely stacked with close competition (excluding Calgary, unless they show me something when they return home) that pretty much anyone can win the West. It's insane that 7 out of 8 seeds finished with 100+ points. The Sharks are very good on paper, but not invincible as you said. It's going to be really difficult to win the Cup, especially for the Western teams due to all the competition, but that's what makes the Stanley Cup Playoffs so special and unique. There's nothing better than the Stanley Cup.

Just look at the first round losses by Detroit in the last decade. Especially last year vs. the Oilers, I remember watching that Game 6 unfold and saying to myself "Edmonton is winning this..." and I then I was cheering for Edmonton. It was like out of a Rocky movie.Â
My money is on Nashville to beat San Jose in this round. Even if SJ does manage to win (it'll be a 7 game series either way) they'll be too worn out for the second round and get thumped.

I still consider Calgary as one of the "Elite" teams, they're just having a bad season.
