I guess playing in LA/Stl gets things overlooked but Quick returned to form in a major way, I thought he had a couple of great games in 3 and 6 and great stretches in the other games as well. Obviously Niemi has been stir frying fools for a couple months already.


I want to take the Sharks as I've just got a good feeling about them this year (for once!) but I know this Kings group so well. I like what LA has done rolling 7 D, minimizes their weaknesses on two fronts, very smart. But with the Kings you just never know when that power outage is coming, when the goals just don't happen. With San Jose, I do feel like they are a little thinner than the Kings, they need production from their top guys or they just won't get it.
