Sharks Take Game 1 From Red Wings, Led By The Big Pavelski’s Two Goals

I think we can go with the assumption that Sharks fans, especially those at SBN’s Fear The Fin, are excited about their upcoming series with the Detroit Red Wings:

San Jose, which is in the playoffs for the fifth straight season, is trying to get past the second round for the first time since losing to Calgary in the 2004 Western Conference finals.

Detroit and San Jose have met three times previously in the postseason with the Red Wings winning the last two series. The two clubs last met in the 2007 conference semifinals, with Detroit advancing in six games.
