Caledonian Canuck Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 As the final day of the season dawns, it is quite remarkable that not one single position in the Western Conference is tied down. Although we know which eight teams will contest the Playoffs in the West, here is how it will shape up at the end of tonight: Vancouver - 1st or 2nd. St. Louis - 1st or 2nd. Phoenix - 3rd or 7th. Nashville - 4th or 5th. Detroit - 4th, 5th or 6th. Chicago - 5th or 6th. Los Angeles - 3rd, 7th or 8th. San Jose - 3rd, 7th or 8th. That is some range of permutations for the first round - the only two certainties, as far as we are concerned; are that we will finish either first or second, and we will play either Phoenix, Los Angeles or San Jose in the first round. There are no easy first round opponents - if we go in with the right attitude and we are fit and healthy, we can beat any of these seven other teams over a best of seven game series. BRING IT ON!

I am not sure what exactly I was supposed to gain from reading this post aside from anything you can already see by clicking on the conference standings link on the main page.

canuck_in_england Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Correct me if I'm wrong but haven't we won the West now...even if we lose and the Blues win their last game we'd still be top.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck_in_england Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Nope, ignore that....wasn't looking at ROW column Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juiced3 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 San Jose plays LA so if Phoenix and SJ win, SJ will be 7th, LA 8th, and PHX 3rd. Should STL win, and Vancouver lose, STL would take top in the West due to a higher ROW. Vancouver must either Win or get 1 point in a OTL.

Guest BuckFoston Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 The one thing about your post which is obvious, is where your loyalties will lie if the Canucks make it through to the SCF and play the Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_a_M Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I don't want to see the Kings in the first round, that would be such a bad matchup. I hope that the Canucks at least win the West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serendipity Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I actually like the way the standings are now. Vancouver vs. San Jose- we've had success against them this season St. Louis vs. L.A. - the Kings have actually given the Blues quite some trouble (1-2-1 against L.A) plus a very physical series Phoenix vs. Chicago - likewise the Coyotes have given the Hawks some trouble (1-2-1 again) Nashville vs. Detroit - whoever wins this series comes out pretty banged up But of course, while it may look good like this - the playoffs are completely different; regular season wins against a team don't say all that much. Oh well, let the chips fall where they may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zissou Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 ANYONE but the Kings. Not only would that be a tough series, but boring as hell. Need SJ to lose to them tonight. (If we win that is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 We've struggled against defensive teams this season. That's why I don't want to face Phoenix. We may not get physically beat up, but we might not win that series. At least LA and San Jose as physically demanding it might be, we've beat them in the past. There's no easy rounds in the playoffs.

Guest BuckFoston Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Agreed, Hammer88. Do you ever respond to a post in a non-sardonic manner? Every post I've read from you has a negative, smarmy tone. It is a public forum, so, respond in any manner you choose, but, you won't make many friends here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
