seems to me...
on paper this series may actually be fairly evenly matched…..and by on paper i mean the stats you list above. Not name for name roster players….

What I take away from this is that the Kings’ strength is their team D — note that these are all team defensive stats. Couple that with the analysis from FTF (a fine hockey blog, from what I’ve read of it) that Quisp just cited, and I think we may conclude that the one thing that would kill the Kings in this series is lack of discipline. As long as they stick to the system and don’t panic, the games will be close and competitive.

The Kings are more of a defensively oriented team than the San Jose Sharks! Who could’ve guessed!
and ya the Sharks’ PK has been terrible in the second half of the season, mostly due to Scott Nichol being out with injury.
