You can't give one to Scott Nichol?
You guys sure like your Kent Huskins.
Maybe I will say Brad Winchester wins 1 game.
Game 1: Blues win 1-0 Huskins with 1 goal and 1 assist
Game 2: Blues win 2-0 Huskins with 2 goals and 2 assists
Game 3: Blues win 3-0 Huskins with 3 goals and 3 assists
Game 4: Blues win 4-0 Huskins with 4 goals and 4 assists
Due to the ever increasing popularity of Kevin Hart's "Laugh at MY Pain" tour, the Scott Trade has now booked the comedian for a full week. Unfortunately, games one and two of the Stanley Cup Finals will now be played on the field at Busch Stadium.
Sharks fans have been saying pretty much all year that St. Louis isn't as good as their record indicates and they will be out in the first round. Well it looks like you got the match up you wanted and I can't wait to see this play out. I wonder what new excuses Blues fans will see now.
Nice lies bro.
Never saw this once.

Is Winchester even in the regular line-up? I had the impression he was a healthy scratch at the moment.
I don't think he is, but that wasn't my point really, just being silly. I realized I hadn't seen him in awhile so I do think he is a healthy scratch. Maybe someone can confirm.

I think he's a scratch too, but he might be in. Not sure.

Overtime, Game 7......
Huskins will take the puck behind the Blues net, and wait patiently for the Blues to finish a line change, when.....
Wait, what's this? Huskins opens the Zamboni entrance door and pulls out......oh my god......he's got a steel chair!
He skates over to Halak and cracks him across the back! Halak lays motionless on the ice, but Huskins just keeps hitting him over and over! The other Blues players rush over to help Halak, but Huskins knocks them all out with steel chair shots to the head.
Now, with all the Blues players unconscious on the ice, Huskins smiles like a deranged lunatic, skates over to the puck, and calmly deposits it into the untended goal for a Sharks victory.
As the Scottrade Center boos furiously, Huskins rips off his Blues jersey to reveal.....a Sharks jersey that was hidden underneath the whole time!
The ref lifts his hand in victory and Huskins skates over to celebrate with the other ecstatic Sharks players as "No Chance in Hell!" blares over the arena PA system and good ole Bernie Federko screams, "Good God Almighty! Look at the carnage created by that damn Kent Huskins! That traitor! That Jezebel!...."
I always have a soft spot for SJ, but this is going to be a very ugly series for them. Reffing in the playoffs is traditionally spotty and this is going to play against them in a harsh way. St. Louis loves a stifling game and they'll be given a much longer leash to make it happen.
SJ will need to score early and often or they'll be pushing a barrel up a sand dune.

You forgot to mention right as Huskins pulls the steel chair out Hitchcock screams "WATCH OUT HALAK ITS A TRAP!".
The Blues have a massive edge in bottom six depth.
The Blues have an good-sized edge, but it's not as 'massive' as you'd think. The Sharks bottom six as it is right now didn't exist the last time they played the Blues.

oh. right.
McGinn struggled mightily down the stretch. With how well Winnik is playing, I honestly think he's a better fit on this team.
I agree that we ended up lower than we should have, but besides that the two series have nothing alike. The Ducks were a terrible matchup for us, but right now we are a great matchup for the Blues. There's a world of difference.
And, the Blues are completely and utterly healthy. They've been in cruise mode for ten games, resting guys as needed. The Sharks have been scratching tooth and nail to get in, and many of them are pretty banged up but we don't have the depth to rest them.
Two low seeds that are not the traditional 7th/8th seed teams.
Two highly ranked teams struggling to find chemistry after getting multiple players back at the same time.
A high seed going in cold compared to a lower seed that has been hot, and playing playoff hockey for a few weeks.
A less experienced playoff team (09 Sharks) vs a team of burly playoff vets that just went all the way (07 Ducks).
I like you Jux, but sometimes I feel like you disagree with people just for the sake of disagreeing. Am I saying that the two series are carbon copies? Not at all. But there are undeniable similarities to go along with the differences that you pointed out.

"depth"
That includes that guys like Porter, Crombeen, D'Agostini (depending what type of 4th line you're assembling) and Schwartz (probably a top line injury replacement) are scratches. Porter and Crombeen WERE the regular season 4th line until getting pushed out when everyone came back healthy.
