It’s here! The Sharks have made the playoffs and get to face a cupcake better team as was the case two years ago when the Kings reverse-swept the Sharks and my heart. Alex has faith that the Sharks will pull it out while Ben is picking the Kings in six. So go ahead and send your hate tweets to @circlingthecup. Ben runs that account and deserves your scorn. Or maybe he’s just trying to jinx the Kings (editor’s note: it’s both. I think the Kings will win but I would love to jinx them).
