commentary...

the loser of the San Jose Sharks/Dallas Stars game,tonight,will be below the cutoff line(out of playoff seeding)... if San Jose wins,they control their own destiny,and a three point lead,over Dallas... if Dallas wins,they will jump over San Jose,and own the tie-breaker over the Sharks(number of regulation/overtime wins)... if San Jose loses,and they have to beat Los Angeles Kings,twice,in last two games,of the season... a tough road to hoe,for the Sharks,if they lose tonight...
