NorthernTorch Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I received my Hockey News annual in the mail and noticed that the editors of THN are predicting the Canucks will beat Pittsburgh to win the Stanley Cup. They are comparing the Nucks recently playoff losses to those from Detroit a few years back before the Wings won their first cup in the modern era. Should this prediction be viewed as a pleasant surprise or a jinx? (Sorry if this repeats, but I did a topic search for THN predictions and only came up with fantasy point total projections).

Danthecanucksfan Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I read THN the other day and they said Pittsburgh is to take the cup... maybe it was a different magazine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Didn't they (or someone else) predict Vancouver to beat Pittsburgh in 7 last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsflash Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 This is like the second time in three years they put their money on us. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysticriver Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Stupid predictions. People still voting for Pittsburgh after that catastrophe last season? They have done nothing to address that putrid defense of theirs and they lost Staal (yes, they replaced him with a solid 3C but J. Staal > Sutter any way you spin it). Oh, and their wingers (aside from Neal) are nothing special. I wouldn't bet on us either. We need to make some upgrades for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I think they predicted Chicago last year. Or was that EA? I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkeeterHansen Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Pretty sure it was EA that predicted Chicago over Pittsburgh...they were a little off the ball this past year. THN is always correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaMacNamedDre Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Canucks for a Cup will need to add Doan + Arnott + mathias/versteeg + Gudbranson , that happens i like our chances. plus an enforcer. a total animal. this Doan decision is holding everything else up. Hopefully Gillis knocks it out of the park ....we need him to...we are still a major pieces from being real contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstar Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 The Penguins have been the most overrated team in hockey for the past few years. They got a heck of a lot worse this year and I don't see them making it out of the first two rounds. I also don't see the Canucks winning the cup unless if they are able to stay completely healthy for the duration of the playoffs. Right now, the Rangers are the favourites.

rawkdrummer Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Wait a minute, I thought a few threads ago someone said we should blow up the team and rebuild before it's too late. Joking aside all we as fans can ask for is to be in the conversation as one of the top contenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
