I confess. I don’t know a whole lot about the Penguins’ opponent in the upcoming Stanley Cup Finals.
A quick scan of the San Jose Sharks’ roster tells me they’re for real.
Their postseason stats literally leap off the computer screen. Captain Joe Pavelski tops all NHL playoff scorers with 13 goals. Logan Couture leads the way in points (24) and assists (16). Joe Thornton has 15 helpers.
Monster defenseman Brent Burns? An astonishing six goals, 14 assists and 20 points.
They’re deep, too. Gritty hustler Joel Ward’s got six goals.
