Anaheim’s Game 7 loss to the Red Wings means we won’t see three California teams in the Western Conference Semifinals but it does mean the Sharks will face an in-state rival in the playoffs for the third time in their history (er, let’s say second, since 2009 never happened).

More to come, including a full schedule and broadcast information as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime, feel free to reminisce about the last time these teams met in postseason action. Here’s a refresher in case you’re having trouble remembering how that ended:
Update: Game 1 is confirmed for 7PM Tuesday night at Staples Center. No word on the rest of the series, with nothing official expected from the league until tonight’s Games 7 in the Eastern Conference are decided.
