So the Sharks have won the Western Conference again, and this time fans have few expectations as they enter the playoffs against the fading Colorado Avalanche. Last year, the entire marketing campaign was about winning the Stanley Cup, but now humility has tempered the pre-game scoreboard. You'll hear no more cries of Cup or bust, and every Sharks fan I know is sitting back like a man from Missouri thinking Show Me. Look, we were very close to drawing the red hot Red Wings, so getting the top seed and the Avalanche in the first round is as good a draw as it gets. If they can't get past these guys, we all ought to start paying attention to our children. But, given how time soothes, hope sneaks its insidious head inside the scarred psyche. What else can you do but plant yourself in front of the TV and torture yourself for nights on end? This is the best and worst time of the year, and while I know the punk rock nation generally does not give a damn about such things, my advice is to give me plenty of space in the weeks to come.
GO SHARKS!
