After making a difficult first-round playoff series look deceptively simple, the Sharks are ready to see what other feats they can accomplish in the postseason. The Sharks took a leisurely flight back from Tennessee on Saturday after finishing off the Predators in Game 5. With timely offense and sterling defense in front of goalie Evgeni Nabokov, San Jose eliminated Nashville for the second straight season -- and the Sharks' reward was a weekend of recuperation from a series that was far tougher than the tidy finish indicated. The Sharks don't know when or where they'll play next, but they'll spend the ensuing days making sure their third straight trip to the second round is just as sharp as this opening series -- and a whole lot better than last season's second-round loss to Edmonton.
