Triple OT

I pity the poor hockey writers in the East who had to stay up to watch the Sharks lose in triple overtime to the Oilers last night. I pity the Sharks players and coaches and equipment staff more. Momentum is definitely on Edmonton's side now. To play for 42 minutes of overtime and lose will be hard for the Sharks to recover from. It's a really good thing they won the first two games. So not all is lost.

I expect this series will last a long time while Anaheim is in a position to sweep Colorado tonight and be sitting around waiting for their Conference Finals opponent. My preferred teams are losing in the second round. Colorado and New Jersey will never recover from being down 0-3. We'll see if they can even win a game. I thought the Devils were going to pull it off on Monday with that last minute goal only to see (the beautiful) Eric Staal tie it up with 3 seconds left. It was fitting that they lost in OT. And last night I could hardly watch the game (even tho it was in HD) it was so depressing. Where is the team that won 15 straight games. Is Brodeur injured?
