It would have been great if the Calgary Flames had knocked off San Jose, but it was not meant to be.  The Sharks rallied from a 2-1 2nd period deficit in Game 7 of its first round series with Flames, scoring 4 goals in frame.

The reason I say it would have been beneficial for the Sharks to lose is because the Stars would be playing the 6th seeded Colorado Avalanche in the semifinals with home ice.  With San Jose winning, the Stars will be forced to continue their winning ways on the road against a team whose home ice and fans will be rabid.  I don't know if anybody got to watch the game last night, but the "Tank" was rocking and rolling.

With area playoff basketball losing most of its luster with the Mavs looking like a D-League team, the Stars are in a position to capture the hearts of sports fans across the metroplex.

The Stars will need some razor sharp stick play to slay the mighty sharks, and they will get their chance starting Friday at 9 p.m.
