JIM FOX'S SCORECARD

Stars vs. Sharks
Fox's Take
Goalie
Evgeni Nabokov normally just has to be “good” and he’s more than steady. Marty Turco’s style makes him more spectacular and puck-handling evens things out.
  Forwards
Stars are getting a lot from unexpected sources. Brenden Morrow is as tough as they come. With all on board, Sharks can be effective in a variety of ways.
Defense
With everyone healthy (Sergei Zubov/Philippe Boucher) edge would go to Stars. Brian Campbell must improve for San Jose.
Power Play  
San Jose can be predictable at times. Dallas was a well oiled machine in the first round. Great movement and decision-making.
Penalty Kill  
Both have struggled so far in playoffs. If Zubov and Boucher both get back edge to Stars.
Coaching
Both Ron Wilson and Dave Tippett move people around to get the best on any given night.
  Intangibles
San Jose passed tough test against the Flames. Stars did the same against the Ducks. Just can’t see Dallas’ power play stay as hot.
    Sharks
Bottom Line: Dallas has been playing at or above potential. San Jose still learning what it takes. Sharks balance wins out. Sharks in 7!
