The playoffs look set to dispatch another hockey dynasty to the sidelines. Detroit fell to the Sharks today by a 2-1 margin. The Red Wings played a dull game with little to no spark. Datsyuk is a non entity so far in this series and Jimmy Howard is doing his best to keep the Motor City crew from getting crushed. The Sharks are young and aggressive and they could start filling the puck with goals if Detroit doesn't wake up. We think Detroit is fighting an uphill battle and the Sharks might be in a position to close this off sooner rather than later.
The favourites in the Stanley Cup playoffs are becoming clearer as it evolves. The Bruins look to strong for Philadelphia; Nashville seems ready to send the Canucks packing, and we are still holding out slim hope for the Capitals. This year's playoffs victories are being earned by youngsters and hustlers while superstars and veterans watch by the sidelines. Goaltending is giving us a bushel full of OT games and we think the trend will continue right till the Cup is hosted by the victors.
