PLAYOFFS? PLAYOFFS?! DAY 26

Red Wings 2 Sharks 0 (Detroit wins series 4-2): Somehow, it seems fitting that San Jose missed a goal when Joe Thornton dislodged the Detroit net right when one of his teammates seemed certain to beat Dominik Hasek.

Nicklas Lidström, not the Dominator, made the biggest save of the night for the Red Wings, sprawling to block Mike Grier's wrapround after Hasek mishandled the puck outside of his crease. So it goes for the Sharks.

Early prediction for the West final: Anaheim in 6. As for the East, too close to call. Buffalo has an edge in goal (Ryan Miller over Ray Emery) and secondary scoring, but the Senators have yet to turn in a stinky effort this spring, while the Sabres have stumbled through a couple of games. Ask again later today.
