While the Sharks and their fans have to be delighted to be into the conference finals, the fact remains that when they meet this weekend, Vancouver will be the better rested team. Game one of the Sharks vs. Canucks starts at 8pm ET (5pm PT) on Sunday with Versus and CBC providing television coverage. That game will come from Rogers Arena in downtown Vancouver as the Canucks, winners of the President's Trophy, will have home ice advantage against the two seed.The Boston Bruins and the Tampa Bay Lightning will open their series before the Sharks and Canucks as they meet in game one of their series on Saturday at 8pm ET. Versus and CBC have the television coverage for that game as well, with Boston, the three seed in the Eastern Conference, hosting the fifth seeded Lightning.Tampa Bay swept their second round opponent and they have the hottest goaltender as Dwayne Roloson, the 41 year old, has been lights out in the post-season. The Lightning have won two road series to open the Stanley Cup playoffs and if Roloson stays hot, the Lightning could be headed back to the Stanley Cup finals.
