Joe Thornton is going to be a monster for the Sharks and lead them to the finals... just to make Bruins fans cry.

LOL it could happen 8-)

I found it really tough to chose between the Ducks and Sharks as I watch a lot of their games and they're two of my favorites, but I think that this war with Nashville will be the difference in San Jose not having quite enough in the long run and Anaheim is just so darn tough.

With injuries to Cheechoo (I know he's playing but you still have to wonder how healthy that knee really is...) and my still questioning if the Guerin acquisition is helping or hurting them as far as chemistry/confidence goes it's enough for me to give the nod to Anaheim.

I'll go with the flow and say it's the Ducks, but we have a long way to go.

They are not so awesome, but my pick was Dallas and I'm not a betrayer so I stick with it. You guys can laugh at my face in two games and Stars gone ;)

I hesitate between Nucks and Sharks...voted for Nucks. They'll be tired after the Stars series (if they win it, wich isn't done...), but would take a huge confidence after such a even series.

Sharks can burn every single team...including themselves! Death or glory.

It might be Joe Thornton breakout year in the playoff!!
San Jose have a pretty good chance.

I like San Jose...and not only because of JT, but I will go with the Ducks: having Pronger and Niedermayer in one team is a playoff-winning guarantee!!!
