Indy Jones 4. Ok, I could ignore the LED countdown clock in the year 1957. I can look past surviving a nuclear blast in a "Punky Brewster" lead-lined refrigerator. And sure, Indy could be the know-it-all that Nic Cage was in "National Treasure". As we move along through the film, it's actually pretty good...lots of action, good characters...but that ending??? Oh my. That pretty much ruined the film right there.

Just watch the whole thing...

It took a very long time into Sunday night, but finally the San Jose Sharks succumbed to the 3-0 hole they dug themselves in and lost to the Dallas Stars 2-1 in quadruple overtime and ultimately lost the series 4-2.

Many questions can be asked as to why this happened. Were they overconfident after getting points in 20 of their last 22 games? Is San Jose's relaxed nature not ideal for a playoff atmosphere? Is Ron Wilson the right coach to lead them into the playoffs?

If we learned anything from this series, the Sharks need somebody who can be aggressive, score, and lead. The team has plenty of people who can do one, maybe two of these things, but not all three. They only need to look across the ice for the ideal person in this series, Brendan Morrow.

Where do we go from here? We're probably not going to re-sign Brian Campbell unless he comes back at a discount. These playoffs prove he's not worth the $5-6 million he's probably going to command in free agency this offseason. He was very shaky in the defensive zone and his offensive prowess wasn't enough to offset it.

Keep Brian Boucher. He was more than competent and would give Nabokov more rest during the season.

Finally, keep Ron Wilson. He knows what he's doing and probably no one else is available who is as good as him.

Dallas...congratulations. If history is correct however, you're not going to win the Stanley Cup. No team who has defeated the Sharks in the playoffs has ever gone on to win the Stanley Cup.
