Point 1: 30 entrants. Holy crap (PS. Welcome back, lump. Try not to go 0-4 in the semis again. =P). I never expected this big a turnout here.

Point 2: Again, thank you so much to everyone who has donated. I might just raise the prize totals again!

Point 3: Discussion already; I like it! Elliott being down may be good news for the Sharks, but you also have to look at the fact that Halak still had a 1.97 GAA, and a save % of .926; both insane stats. If it weren't for so many other goalies being insanely good, those would be 1st rank numbers any year. The problem is St. Louis really has no scoring whatsoever. They get by by letting the offense score 2 and shutting everyone down.
This is the playoffs though. San Jose knows what the intensity level is like and knows what they have to do. St. Louis' last trip to the postseason was in 2007 where they got swept by Vancouver. Not to mention, practically no one from that team is on this current Blues team. Halak has the experience, there's no denying it. But San Jose, as a team, has multitudes more playoff experience and that will be helpful for them.

Point 4: Thanks for the typo fixes. Although I don;t know where blue saw his.. I had it as emerald the whole time (I think).
