When St. Louis Blues fans learned they would be facing the San Jose Sharks for the right to go to the Stanley Cup Final, there was mixed reaction. Some fans loved it and others got worried.
Those that liked it focused on the revenge factor. They want to see the Blues leap over the Shark hurdle that stood in their way and tripped them up in 2016, the last time these two teams met in the postseason.
Those that are worried might be worried for the same reason. A very similar Sharks team filled with many of the same veterans, plus some new, shiny toys, took down the Blues in relatively easy fashion.
