The Sharks did well vs the Coyotes in the regular season but that means nothing right now. The Sharks were flat rounding out the regular season losing a couple in a row so we hope we got some losses out of the way en route to a nice run.
Anything past the first round is considered a WIN for the Sharks organization who have been eliminated the last 2 years in a row. We put up a good fight last year vs the #1 seed but just didn't have enough fire power. Our team this year is stronger and deeper so we expect to win.
Surprisingly Justin Falk has been on of our best players this season so we are going to miss him in the lineup and hope he gets healthy soon.
On paper this should be an even match-up and I wouldn't be surprised if it goes 7.
