zombieksa Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I would love to see Edmonton slip into 8th, Sam Gagner and those young guns play Chicago hard... In a 7 game series chicago would come out on top, but it would be a heard fought (and entertaining) matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Burrows 14 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I'm sorry? You don't want to face a team with 0 playoff experience, with shaky goaltending and sub-par D.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lintanen Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I'm going to go with this prediction for final playoff matchups. East. 1. Pittsburgh vs 8. Winnipeg 2. Montreal vs 7. Isles 3. Washington vs 6. Ottawa 4. Boston vs 5. Toronto West. 1. Chicago vs 8. St. Louis 2. Anaheim vs 7. Detroit 3. Vancouver vs 6. San Jose. 4. Minnesota vs 5. Los Angeles.

Squeak Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Not really no. I think edmonton is a dark horse. If dubnyk is just good for a stretch then look out. Because eberle, nugent hopkins, hall, yakupov, gagner and others are amazing scorers and can light it up every night. And they have some veterans with playoff experience. They can teach the youngsters. But 0 playoff experience doesnt make a lot of difference in the first round. Heck it doesnt make a lot of difference till round 3 or 4 or when u r down in a game or a series. If edmonton is firing on all cylinders for a few games were done. Sorry but edmonton could outscore us anyday of the week. And if schneider is only decent were done. Im not saying we cant beat them, im just saying they are a huge underdog. I definitely think we can beat them if we can light up dubnyk a couple times, his confidence will be gone and they will be toast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van19 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Would prefer Minny, SJ, Phoenix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrock-763 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I don't care who we face as long as we stay healthy and get 16 wins It's time the Canucks play their hearts out and come out hungry like they did in game 7 against Chicago in 2011 Win with Schneider and Luongo while we still have them both!!!

-Vintage Canuck- Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I want a fun exciting 1st round match-up. Would love to see Canucks-Red Wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobberLuongo Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Why would anyone want to play the defending champs in the first round is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus099 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 i hope they stay like this because all 6 original 6 teams would play eachother in the first round Boston/Toronto Chicago/Detroit Montreal/NYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanKeslord17 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Any team, bring it. Gotta beat the best eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevlach Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 We've had some real trouble with Detroit and SJ this year - I'd take Minny, St. Louis, LA, or Phoenix any day over those two teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understand Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Our chance is slim if we have to play the Blues, LA, Sharks or the Wings in the first round. Our chance is much better vs the Wilds, Coytoes or the Stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roflcawptur Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 SJ scares me to death honestly. I'd rather play Chicago if it were even possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferlands_Head Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I don't know why everyone is scared of the Sharks, they SUCK, their bottom 6 is garbage, the Sedins will expose their D again and Niemi as well as he's doing this year is FAR from elite.

kassians_fist Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I'd love a canucks/redwings matchup just so i can talk **** to my buddies who are redwing fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Systemaddict Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I remember one year I cheered when Minny beat Colorado in Game 7 to advance to play us. "The seas have parted" people said. I now never, ever cheer to play any team over another. I simply cheer for my team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frazzY Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Bring on the redwings. I'd love to play detroit, revenge for '02, except now we would be the favourites and them the underdog. I hate saying "oh I'd hate to play bla bla." If you're going to win the cup u should be able to beat anyone. I dont care who we face, detroit would be an entertaining series though.

Sugar baby watermelon Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 how about St. Louis, favourable matchup with their goaltending situation, they might jump Minny in the standings, I don't know if I would want Detroit in the 1st round, their underdog status is not really underdog material if you ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
