My heart really belongs to the blackhawks. The sharks wouldnt even be a factor if Niemi wasnt there. That is the only reason I really follow the Sharks.

LOL i have them Blackhawks being a problem late in the season too

Yes I agree when they let Niemi go they made a huge mistake. Crawford isnt bad but he isnt even close to Niemi's skills.

Wow you think it will come into play Late ? i mean can they get to the dance without Niemi?

I think they can make it to the playoffs but Im not sure if they can make it to the finals. Our goalies aren't solidly consistent they have a few good games and then a few really bad games. Its going to be hard but if Craw keeps his confidence and plays like he has been we have a real chance.

Yea it comes down to matchups like i dont think they can beat Boston in a series but they seem to have the FLYERS number

Yes I agree I dont think they can beat Boston either Tim Thomas is a great goalie and the rest of the team is pretty dangerous too.

Who do you like in the WEST?

besides the hawks? I would really have to say the Sharks they have a good chance they have pretty good solid goal tending with Niemi and Griess.

Yea my sleepers are the NJ Devils
