Great whites?

Alright, we're into the third round of the playoffs. This means there are 4 teams left: in the West, the San Jose Sharks will face the Chicago Blackhawks, and in the East, the Philadelphia Flyers will play the Montreal Canadiens. The winner of each of these series will play for the Stanley Cup. Like in every round, they'll play a best-of-seven series, meaning the first team to win 4 games moves on to the next round.

To get you ready for the next couple of weeks, I'll give you a brief synopsis of each remaining team over the next 4 days.

Today, the San Jose Sharks.




Hockey in California? Yes, it's weird. Nevertheless, they were the best team in the West all year.

Fun Fact: They're known for choking in the playoffs. Over the past 5 years this team has been amazing in the regular season, only to fail miserably during the time that matters - the playoffs. The last time they made it this far was back in 2004 (they lost). Any bets on their chances this time around? Oh, and they also skate onto the ice out of a giant shark head.
