I'll give you a minute to let that sink in, by which I mean I need a minute to stop screaming.
The Stanley Cup Final gets going on Monday night, and for the first time in their 25-year history, the San Jose Sharks will be a part of it. Patrick Marleau, Joe Thornton and their teammates will finally get their chance to compete for the most prestigious trophy in hockey.
They'll take on either the Tampa Bay Lightning or the Pittsburgh Penguins, depending on who wins Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Final tomorrow.
