After years of laughing at them for being the ultimate playoff chokers, I actually kind of want San Jose to actually get it done this year.

Partly because Reimer's on the team, partly because they're home to so many glorious beards, partly because of Brent Burns, and partly because Joe Thornton's still such an awesome player at the age of 36, and after all the BS he's put up with from management and the San Jose organization.
 
The best was when Doug "Whine" Wilson attempted to piss Thornton off enough to be able to move him. He stripped him of his captaincy and lambasted him in the press and all Thornton did was basically say "screw you" and went out and put up a top five points finish.

He's awesome and a future first-ballot Hall of Famer. His post-season performances have also not been nearly as bad as most fans and analysts make it out to be. He's produced similarly to guys like Datsyuk, for instance, and he's considered to be an excellent playoff guy.

Seeing him and a life-long Shark in Marleau, not to mention Brent Burns (one of the nicest guys in sports), win a Stanley Cup would be great to see, and a beautiful capstone to a few truly stellar careers.
 
Totally backing the Sharks due to Reimer as well always being a fan of Thornton and Burns. Definitely wouldn't mind see Bobby Lou hoist it as well
 
I picked Doughty and Lucic in my pool so I'm cheering for the Kings strictly because of that. Kind wish I took Pavelski instead of Seguin though.
 
Yeah I want to see Thornton win the cup. Him or Luongo or Ovie.
Yep, wouldn't mind seeing Washington & Ovie win it either.

It's always special when an all-time great player checks off the "Stanley Cup champion" box in their career checklist.
 
Same here: Caps or Sharks. Ovie deserves a cup and San Jose has contended awhile but has been unsuccessful.
