Another of my predictions will die tonight…….
The Anaheim Ducks will end the San Jose Sharks season prematurely tonight - the 335th straight time the Sharks have made an early exit (OK, so I exaggerate).

And to think, they’ve done this with Teemu Selanne notching only a single assist.
This is an epic failure for the Sharks, who seem to be bent on making a ritual out of these early playoff exits - a trend that will not stop unless they come to the realization that Joe Thornton is a mammoth failure in important games.

Speaking of predictions gone wrong, the Flames will cause my number of games prediction in their series to be incorrect, as they will win tonight to push the series back to Chicago for a seventh game. Jarome Iginla has been a beast throughout the series so far - except for game 5, where he was invisible as the Flames got hammered. Don’t think that will happen twice - Iginla will pick up his team and carry them to victory tonight.
