I have to say that I am so disappointed and sad about what just occurred. I know everyone is going to say that I should have expected this, because it's a letdown every year. But this year seemed different. It looked so promising, and that it may be our year. I have not decided whether or not I am going to continue to watch the remainder of the playoffs this season. As of right now, it is a no. But once I calm down I'll be able to make a better decision about it because I can say that now I do have an invested interest in the Eastern Conference because whoever makes it out of that series alive, hopefully Montreal, I want them to now beat Chicago for the cup. The Blackhawks have now etched their name as a team that will forever leave a bad taste in my mouth.
Congrats to the Sharks on a fantastic season, and a most exciting playoff year. Came up just short again this year, but we'll get a good rest and give it another valiant effort next season starting in October.
Congrats to Rob Blake as well who may have just played the last game in his brilliant NHL career. If he decides to come back, that's great. If not, thanks for an exciting last season.
Next year, WE WANT THE CUP IN SAN JOSE!
