Sharks fan dropping some insight here...just want to remind everybody that this isn't over yet. I've seen Thornton and Co. take a commanding 3-0 lead against the Detroit Red Wings 2 years ago and look how that turned out...the boys managed to eliminate Detroit in 7 games only to be routed by this same Canucks team in the 2011 WCF. I am not saying that we'll blow the lead again in this series, but you know what, if there ever was a team that all hockey fans would think was capable of coming from a 3-0 margin, it had to be the Red Wings. On the other side of the fence, if there ever was a team capable of losing a 3-0 lead, it was the 2011 San Jose Sharks.

But, watching this series, I honestly think that this playoffs is folding to be the "passing of the torch" kind of run/transition period for SJ. I can see it in the way the team plays. This is no longer Patty, Boyler, and Jumbo's team...this is now Couture, Burnsie, and Pavelski's San Jose Sharks. The good news for us Sharks fans? The next core of Sharks are $$$ when it matters the most. The better news? My oh my, if there ever was a team that you'd like to be in that 3-0 grip, it's gotta' be the Vancouver Canucks. I'll take my team's sweet revenge...payback is going to get served soon. Go Sharks!
