In the playoffs each team has an opportunity to "look in the mirror" so to speak to determine who they really are as a team and what each individual is prepared to do to win each shift, each period and each game. Some great regular season players simply disappear in the playoffs - perhaps they are unable to dig deep or scared of true success?? who knows

I currently see 3 teams that have figured this out; the Sharks the Sabres and the Ducks. My guess for the cup will be the Sharks or Sabres.

Having said the above, I will be at the Oiler game tonight; it will be wild in Rexall place, and I will be cheering with the rest of the 17,000+ fans for an Oilers victory!
