Hockey News: Vancouver vs San Jose

Well, it's a dream match up for me. The San Jose Sharks are playing against my team, the Vancouver Canucks.

This is truly a hockey series where the fan wins no matter who does. Vancouver has finally advanced to their first western conference finals in 17 years and will battle for the position to compete in the Stanley Cup Finals.

The San Jose Sharks are repeat visitors from last year hoping to break through the conference finals after they lost in a sweep against Chicago, the eventual Stanley Cup champions of last year.

Both sides are battling against criticism as playoff underachievers. Both are hoping to prove these very critics wrong, but only one team will be able to do so.

I am very excited to watch this series.
