Vicky Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 But the Blackhawks sure can... Gotta get by 'em eventually if the Canucks plan to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanBeef Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Now, if Booth came back and played like he did before his knee injury last year we would probably be up there with Chicago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayoffHockey Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 If we stay healthy, then yes we have a chance. A very good center like Roy can make average wingers better. Hope he resigns!! We have already seen what a 4 million dollar winger does without a good center. (Booth) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Kesler Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 If the Canucks stay healthy, absolutely. I think this team has more firepower than the 2011 team and much more balance with how that firepower is deployed. The issue will be keeping that ridiculous top-9 intact for the entire playoff run.

Tortorella's Rant Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Only if special teams are improved and the twins can pick up their game again. Those are the biggest factors deciding whether we are contenders or pretenders. Roy and Kesler will help but it won't be enough unless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
131313 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Vancouver / Chicago would be a fantastic conference final. They have had great series before and are probably the best in the west. (I have trouble taking the Ducks too seriously, they have had a great regular season but I think they are in trouble in the playoffs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edlerberry Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 We got the best player available at the deadline. Although we could have used another or 2. Contenders only if everyone in the top 9 is healthy. Booth would be bonus too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understand Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Serious contender? No team in the league is a serious Cup contender this year becusae the cup belongs to either the Pens or the Burins this season FOR SURE. Seriously, anyone here actually think any team in the league can beat the Pens or the Bruins in a 7 games series? NOT A CHANCE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primal Optimist Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I think we are a top six team in the entire league, and at that level, anything can happen. We could lose against 4 of the other top sixers, and we could win against one. Who you gonna say beats us? IMO we go deep and a chance to win it all this year.

zduck14 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Is it just me or does anyone else think a Booth-Roy combo would be just deadly? Roy sees the ice better than anyone on the team besides the twins and with the way Booth goes straight to the net every time he's on the ice, it could make for a great 2B line pairing. I sure hope Booth is back sooner rather than later. Sedin-Sedin-Burrows Raymond-Kesler-Hansen Booth-Roy-Kassian Higgins-Lapierre-Weise I think this lineup is a definite contender and compares with any team out there.

Understand Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 We've seen Washington get knocked out in the first round in a year where they annihilated the entire league points-wise. The Sharks seem to lose to a team they "should" beat every single year. Look what happened last season with the 8th seed in the west. Crazy stuff happens in the playoffs virtually every year. No team is ever a lock. And I would NEVER count out the Canucks if they're on their game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pouria Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 This year is different. Go check out the Pens roster. The only team that stands a chance is the Bruins....too bad they are in the same conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
