Lafayettecrossbar Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 It doesn't matter who we play. We have to bring our A game. There's no point speculating matchups because it doesn't matter. If we want to win the Cup we have to be able to beat anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddhas Hand Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Well, its sparked some discussion, so its something to talk about if your so inclined, but for the life of me, I will never figure out the people who post in threads only to say that the thread doesn't interest them, or its not a necessary one, or some other negative comment. worse than the two I selected here, lol. Now, I picked this post to reply to, since it isn't exactly a negative one, and it is expressing an opinion on the topic that is valid, so I wanted to point out that I don't mean this guy, with what I am saying about negative people. The rest of you negative people saying the thread isn't necessary or its pointless..do you have a mental compulsion to post in threads that you ought to simply ignore?

skyfall Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 After watching this NCAA March Madness I'm getting pumped for the NHL playoffs... nothing like do or die games! Lucky for the Canucks the NHL doesn't have one and done games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobopan Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 As bad as SJ has been i really wouldn't want to face them in the 1st round. It'd still be a bruising series and if this team is to go far health as always will be key. Phoenix would be intriguing as we'd see a ton of Canuck fans down there and travel wise is favorable and it would be a good test and a style of play were going to have to get used to anyways. Colorado would be fun to play against and Calgary i don't see making it. If we face Phoenix or Colorado id be pretty happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fagin Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I actually hope we end up with a really tough opponent in the first round. Chicago would be a good matchup again, or San Jose would be good too. Main thing is that we can't afford to just sleep through the first round. Last year Chicago gave the Canucks a real kick in the ass and they really pulled together down the stretch. We're a lot healthier going into the playoffs (knock on wood) than last year as well, so hopefully we won't end up as beaten up down the road. We'll see. I think a tough contender will wake us up in the first round and we'll go into the rest of the playoffs fighting hard. I think an easier team might make us too complacent. Look at what happened to Canada's world juniors this year, easy teams, easy wins, then got spanked against their first real challenge because they couldn't get up to play after having it so easy. Let's not forget that there isn't a single team in the league that the Canucks can't beat if they are playing hard. Shouldn't matter who we get matched up with, we should be able to progress.

nucklehead53 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Well, at least in the west, you can sort of rationalize the playoff positions. VAN-CGY matchup would be great, but the thing is, with the Flames heat up, and the Nucks cooling down, would this be a 6 or 7 gamer? But then again, even if it was, the travel isn't going to be that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombieksa Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I don't care who we play I just want one of Nash and Detroit gone 1st round, and a stunner of an upset vs. st louis. If I could pick any team to play first round it would hands down be the Avs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Optimist Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Good breakdown. I wouldn't overlook LA just yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyhawk Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 The way things are looking right now Chicago could climb to 4th ( 2 pts behind Detroit & Nashville ) but you never know, it's not over till it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VancouverStyle Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I dont care who the Canucks face in the 1st round. I would like to see who gets to face Nashville, if it is Detroit that should be a good series to watch. I can't wait for the playoffs, i am getting kind of anxious already.
