I think the Canucks will advance though, I just cant call the Sharks Wings given both teams last series. Sharks are facing a rested Wings team looking for revenge from last year and this season and their window is closing so they will make a strong push.
I agree with you Mike except the "window is closing so they will make a strong push" portion. I know Lidstrom won't be around forever, but people have been saying this about the Wings for years. They have made the playoffs for 20 consecutive seasons. Few if any teams in any sport can claim that. Not to mention they have 4 Stanley Cups in that timeframe. Most didn't think they would survive the loses of Ciccarelli, Shephard, Federov, Shannahan, Konstantinov, or Yzerman, yet they persist. The Wings front office is second to none. Nill, Holland, Develano, and the rest of them, are top notch. That is why they remain a top tier team.
