While the NHL's second season started last night, fans of the San Jose Sharks and Los Angeles Kings were forced to wait an extra day for their teams' opening game.
The Western Conference of the NHL was nothing short of a hurricane to watch this year. But the Pacific Division was the root of most of the drama, with weeks of three-point and unpredictable games.
The Sharks enter the series as the No. 2 seed in the West and the Kings as No. 7. Earlier in the season, many hockey analysts had predicted those numbers reversed. It just further shows what a battle the Western Conference and more importantly, the Pacific Division was this year.
Tonight the Sharks and Kings did battle in a very spirited Game 1 which saw the Sharks triumph in overtime.
