Sharks Are Through! Devils Are Through!

Both my teams were able to win four games in their first series before their opponents did, advancing themselves to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

The Devils made it look easy, sweeping the Rangers in four. They get to rest up while their unknown opponent is still fighting for their playoff lives. They could play anyone left in the East except Ottawa.

Similiarly, the revved up Sharks, by beating Nashville in five, could play anyone left in the West except Detroit. If Detroit makes it, that is. Edmonton is up on them 3-2. They play Game 6 tonight in Canada. Let's hope for a Game 7!

I was so happy to see Colorado win yesterday. Now normally I would not be cheering for the Avs but they were playing the hated Dallas Stars. Oh, it was so lovely to see Marty Turco and Mike Modano lose in five games. Ha ha ha! Nice try, Pacific Division champs. And I'm really rooting for Calgary tonight. Beat those Ducks!
