The Sharks head to the playoffs for the second year in a row beginning on either Wednesday or Thursday. They will play either the Edmonton Oilers or the Anaheim Ducks on the road in what will be a difficult series given San Jose’s depleted roster and recent run of play.
While San Jose entered a tough series against the Kings to begin the playoffs last year (yes, I remember not picking the Sharks last year, please remind me again) the team was quite good. The Sharks aren’t as good this year by ... well, just about any metric you care to look at.
