It is what it is. If you had told me six years ago that two of the three California teams would win their first Cup in the coming years, I would have thought the Sharks would be a lock to be one of them. But Anaheim hoisted the Stanley Cup in 2007 and now only a miracle will keep the Kings from doing it this year. Meanwhile, the Sharks are in turmoil as an organization. Oh well.
... and how about Tim Thomas deciding to take a year off. Kind of excited to see Tuukka Rask take over the #1 slot; he's been groomed as the Bruins goalie of the future and is more than ready to step into his big boy shoes.

Yeah because Los Angeles is more of a basketball kind of town* somewhat of a baseball town *, so when a hockey team is in position to win the cup that's a bit strange for me. Then again Dallas has a Stanley cup as well, even though it's a football town above all else.
As for Rask, the guy has talent * He is from Finland * I wouldn't be surprised if in the future he takes the starting job.

Congrats to the Kings (Flyers West)
I refrained from posting until the series was over because after the Devils took 2 in a row I was afraid of an implosion like Flyers East.
Sooo Happy that the Devils lost. You have no idea how happy.

Congratulations to the Kings.
Now I begin the agony of the off season as a Coyotes fan. In a few weeks we should know whether we have a team. This year if we don't have an owner than I imagine they will move. It is looking good for the Jamison deal but it is not official so I am worried about whether everything is in order.
