It's almost an annual ritual. The San Jose Sharks, consistently one of the best teams all year long (and this year's President's Trophy winner), have now lost yet another first-round series. I had them going all the way, under the belief that Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau would stop disappearing in the playoffs and Nabokov would carry them.
I was wrong. It must really hurt to be a Sharks fan, but the best line I heard all weekend was the following from a Sharks poster on a message board:
"I want Joe Thornton to be a pall-bearer at my funeral, so he can let me down one last time."
You have to love playoff hockey, where an 8 seed can upset the best team in the NHL any given season. Tomorrow night the Caps will look to complete their comeback from down 3-1 in the series versus the Rangers. I will be there at Verizon Center to cheer them on, hoping that this year's game seven does not end up like last year's game seven: with Caps fans heartbroken.
