The Sharks won't shed the "chokers" label untill they make a finals. I would get used to dissapointment. The Hawks beat them like a drum this year, and they are starting to get on one of those streaks like they had earlier in the year where they would play amazing hockey for a month straight.

GO Habs! Take out those pesky Pens and go all the way for the CUP!!
The Sharks-Hawks series should be a good one! I'll be rooting for the Hawks in that one!

Penguins are out!
Well, all is well in the NHL! The Pens are out and the Bruins-Flyers series is turning into a great one.
Well...I guess now the next step is to see the Habs and Hawks in the finals! But, honestly I really don't care who wins the cup now...at least it will be a team that hasn't won ever or for a long time!
I will continue to root for the Habs and the Hawks but as I said, it doesn't really matter that much...all remaining teams are playing good hockey and that is great for the game itself...I know I will be watching the remaining series'!
Forever a WINGS fan, but quietly rooting for the Hawks or Habs to win it all!
[size=+2]GO WINGS...GET SOME REST AND COME OUT FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS NEXT YEAR!![/size]
[size=+2]GOOD LUCK HAWKS![/size]
[size=+2]GOOD LUCK HABS![/size]

ok I got to ask since I am new at hockey what the heck is a HAB?
Habitants is the name used to refer to both the French settlers and the inhabitants of French origin who farmed the land along the two shores of the St. Lawrence Gulf and River in what is the present-day Province of Quebec in Canada. The term was used by the inhabitants themselves and the other classes of French Canadian society from the 17th century up until the early 20th century when the usage of the word declined in favor of the more modern agriculteur (farmer) or producteur agricole (agricultural producer). The habitants live on the seigneur's property paying him with food as rent.
Unwilling to accept subordination to anyone but the Governor of New France himself, the inhabitants refused to be called censitaire, a designation they judged equivalent to paysan, who were the servile peasants in France's feudal system.
After the Canadian Confederation in 1867, the seigneural system gradually ceased to exist. The industrialization of Quebec was another factor in the evolution of Quebec's working class, which eventually began migrating to cities like Montreal and Quebec.
The plural was spelled Habitans before the spelling reform and until the spelling reform was accepted in Quebec in the 19th century. The singular word Habitant stayed the same.
The name "Habs", from the French "Les Habitants", is now used as a nickname for the Montreal Canadiens ice hockey team; one of their many cheers is "Go Habs Go".
