The San Jose Sharks edged out Nashville last night 3-2 on a third period goal by Patrick Marleau to win their first round series 4-1. So for the second year in a row the Predators get ejected from the post-season at the hands of the Sharks. Given that and the amount of brawling and jawing that went on during this series, I’m pretty sure we’ll hear Bill Clement or someone on NBC talking about this being a new great rivalry in the NHL.
I don’t know, though. When I think of hockey rivalries, I think of Montreal and Toronto, or Rangers and Flyers, or Calgary and Edmonton. Those are rivalries. Sharks vs. Predators? Sounds more like a cheesy monster movie than an NHL rivalry.
