I cannot predict a winner here. Dustin Brown with a smashed-in face is all I am hoping for. Go Sharks.

I think La will win this one ...its all about the Goalies...LA in 7 games (maybe 6)

This one is tough! Going by save % the goaltending is almost equal....Gaborik is a Huge addition...the return of Hertl could also be a big boost...
Sharks in 7

Kings, in 6 games. Trust their playoff performers more than San Jose's.

[Pheebs888]

I think the Sharks are hungry for some postseason success...Sharks in 6

Loving the look of game 1. Hope they keep it up for the whole series

Well up 2-0 going to LA. Just what the sharks needed. Especially after scoring 12 goals on Quick. We only scored 10 on him all of last postseason.
