I didn't want the Ducks in the first round. I still think Detroit would've won that series (and would if it was the second round series too), but San Jose is a completely different set of head cases.
Someone on hockeybuzz (a SJ blogger, in fact) had the best stat line I ever saw. He took all the playoff teams and posted their winning precentage against the other playoff teams. The elite teams everyone's been picking to win the Cup (Boston, Detroit, Jersey) were all in the mid 50s. Washington I think was at 60%. San Jose... 35%. As he put it, as long as the NHL refuses to allow non-playoff teams into the playoffs, it'll be the same result for the Sharks.
