Three Degrees Of Pat Caputo
Three reasons why the Red Wings should beat the San Jose Sharks in the Western Conference semifinals:
1. The Sharks' most-gifted player, Joe Thornton, is one of the worst playoff performers of all-time.
2. The Sharks are carrying so much playoff baggage from the past it is literally weighing them down collectively.
3. Nicklas Lidstrom is still the world's greatest defensemen.
