Day one Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 As long as the Wings and Preds match up and kick the crap out of each other that's all I care. Would be nice not to match up against San Jose though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucksmax Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I would much rather we face Calgary. 1) It would be an epic series 2) my co-worker literally thinks Calgary is THE BEST team in the league that ran into bad luck in the beginning of the season. I'd love to rub it in his face once the Canucks eliminate Calgary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honky Cat Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I would not want LA in the first round..it's an underachieving team that is finally starting to hit it's stride.Kopitar,Gagne,Carter,Brown,Richards,Doughty...and the biggest factor...Jonathan Quick...LA has the biggest potential to knock off one of the top four 'elite' teams in the Conference. The Av's,Stars,Flames and Coyotes are teams the Canucks should be able to beat.We should also be happy that we dont have to face the Preds off the bat.

Bauer1337 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Calgary it would be a crazy series annd i could shutup all my flammer buddies...I really hope nashville gets knocked out early they'll be a scary team heading into the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucklehead40 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 :S Everyone says they want Phoenix in the first round but that really worries me. Remember a couple of years back when Phoenix took Detroit to game 7? And just their style of play really does not help us. San Jose/Calgary/Colorado would be the greatest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Optimist Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Phoenix is leaving me wondering what they are doing this year. In March they lost 5 in a row before winning 3 of the last 5. Their sched is mixed heading into the end of the year, and I just don't know if they have the heart to make the playoffs in the desert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Optimist Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Now to revisit the Pacific Division: wow, they are all losers! 4 of 5 teams within one point of each other. Dallas leads for now, but they have not strung together more than 2 goals in five games. I thought it was Dallas' to lose a couple days ago. Then they did, twice. Now they have a good chance at missing the playoffs. From 3rd to 9th by midnight tomorrow is a sad reality for them if things don't work out perfectly. Parity I guess. This division makes me sad, and the only way one of the Pacific teams makes the second round is if they play a Pacific team in round one. I almost guarantee it. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keslerian one Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 order of teams i would want to face: Calgary, Colorado, Dallas, LA, Phoenix, San Jose, Chicago, Detroit, Blues, Preds Yes, I think Preds and Blues are both better teams than Detroit, even in the playoffs, this year. Blues getting Steen back and Preds adding Radulov will be a huge boost to already stacked team like Nashville (Rinne, Weber, Suter, Gill, Josi, Klein, Gaustad, Fisher, Radulov, Kostitsyns, Hornqvist etc etc etc. Very good club).

Primal Optimist Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 man, that Pacific Division four or the "PAC 4" I am now calling them, play each other tomorrow...should provide an interested break in the standings come Wednesday, unless both games end in OT/SO...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogs & Podz Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Check out the standings tonight! Man that Pacific division is flip flopping nightly. Like I predicted..... so far I am right. Still don't think LA will have enough to get in, they have a tough, tough schedual going forward. I figure San Jose is just getting warmed up... their going to win the division. Figured Chicago may have had a chance to move up to 5th or 4th the way they were playing but without Keith they will be staying in 6th. Detroit have both Lidstrom and Datsyk back so they will hold onto 4th. This would be a dream come true.... San Jose/Chicago (one very good team out after 1st round... and beat up!) Detroit/Nashville (one very good team out after 1st round... and very beat up if Detroit moves on) St. Louis/Phoenix (two very big teams that are punishing... with only one moving on!) Priceless! Don't think we are going to catch St.L but if we did and somehow Calgary made it into 8th I'll be ok with that match up as well, anyway won't have to wait much longer.

jimsandlak83 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Agreed. To catch St. Louis with 5 games left, we're going to have to win 2 more than them. Pretty tough in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsandlak83 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I hope San Jose gets 3rd as they have the best chance at beating the blackhawks. If that happens, we would play San Jose in the 2nd round (much better than Detroit or Nashville) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogs & Podz Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 oh well.... thought LA wouldn't have enough to make it in well they did... as the title tells you though... I figured it would be LA or Dallas. Great first series, close to home, less travel to being with. This will be tough but the boys will pull it off in 6. I will stick to my original prediction that Van will get the west and as long as they don't face Pitts then we have the cup! The only way I see them winning against Pitts is if they have more key injuries then Van. Finally!!!! Here we go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
