San Jose 3, Nashville 2

The San Jose Sharks overcame another subpar playoff performance from Joe Thornton in beating Nashville, 4-1. The Predators clearly missed starting goaltender Tomas Vokoun, though backup Chris Mason filled in admirably -- posting 3.45 goals against average and a .901 save percentage. Though I did pick San Jose to win this series, I thought would be a bit closer than it was. Overall playoff record: 3-1
