San Jose wins series 4-3
Outlook:
St. Louis is just plain awesome this year. They have so many weapons and such good defense that missing Pavol Demitra is not going to slow them. San Jose has a lot of very talented young players, but it is too early for the Sharks.

The Blues have been incredibly consistent all year and they will roll on. They have good power-play with Al MacInnis and Chris Pronger on the point. Goalie Roman Turek has been phenomenal.

San Jose has Owen Nolan, but that's about it. Sharks need goalie Steve Shields to get in the zone, if they are going to have any chances in the series.

Prediction:
Blues in four.
