I like the fact we are playing San Jose next, too.....but for a different reason. I think it's best for us because of the experience we have against them. I feel it is always easier to prepare for a best-of-7 series against a team you've played more than anyone else (excluding the other teams in the Pacific) the whole season. Would I have liked to have home-ice advantage?? No doubt--especially with the way we played at the AAC last series (finally!). I agree that we play well on their ice, but this is the first time we'll be playing them in the "second season", and I don't know if we can duplicate the awesome 2-0 lead we took against the Ducks. It's possible, but unlikely. It's not that I don't have confidence, but the Sharks are a much more disciplined team, and they won't take the idiotic penalties to put us on the PP for 6 goals in two games. The fact still remains that we seem to play much more determined, focused hockey on the road, and I know we can take at least one of the first two at SJ. This series will definitely go at least 6 games.......and let's hope the outcome is similar to the last one! GO Stars......BELIEVE!!!
