San Jose vs Dallas - 2008 NHL Western Conference Semi-Finals

[Bogey]

4-2 Dallas.

Richards goes behind the Sharks net, puts a pass off the side of the net ala Gretzky to Hagman, who was left ALL ALONE in front to knock it in.

In comes Boucher with 2:45 to go.

Announcers are saying it's a way to get a mini-timeout instead of actually taking one, like they used to do in the old days, but shorter.

San Jose pulls Boucher and Hagman goes in ALL ALONE to make it 5-2.

The Sharks are such pushovers.

I'm sure right now Modano would play all the games in SJ.

Detroit will beat Dallas. So your pick won't get much worse once they dump the chokers.

[VegasHockey]

I wouldn't mind seeing the Sharks go to the finals for the first time but it ain't happening. Dallas is too much in control of this series. They want it more and it shows.

This very well could be Dallas' year.

I was thinking the same ... but for Detroit

The Sharks just can't get past second round. It's bizarre! They didn't even seem like they showed up last night for the 3rd period. I almost felt bad. almost.

[CarriedBySix]

I love it.

More Dallas...more Cowbell.

[TonySCV]

Anyone think they'll still can Wilson and/or trade Marleau if they don't make it out of round 2? I know it was pretty much a given for Round 1, but I'm guessing it'll still happen if they fail advancing past round 2 (particularly if they are swept, which is looking like a plausible scenario at this point).

Thoughts?

Sharks aren't skating off the puck on offense and get spellbound by the puck/puck carrier on defence. Stars win the series in 6 is my guess. Sharks will get lucky once in dallas, and pride will force them to win one at the tank, but they don't have a shot overall at this rate.

[Kubrick]

If the Sharks lose in the 2nd round I can see both Wilsons and Patrick Marleau all getting the boot.

Insert Dave Taylor as GM, subtract Tim Burke as Head Scout and add in Al Murray.

If Tim Burke is cut loose, DL better be pounding Burke's cell day and night until he agrees to head the scouting dept. in LA. Burke is a genius.

It's kinda a a repeat of the first round...the stars wanted it, and the quackers expected, just like SJ that it would be easy at home.

I'd say it's just the Wilson on the bench. He'll probably step down, too, since everyone knows it's coming. DW has scrapped together a lot of skilled guys and Marleau is hardly invisible out there, even if he isn't captain material.

and Mattias Norstrom wins game 3 in overtime...

Ahhh, beautiful.
