predictions for upcoming road trip (east)


yes we can nucks

Recommended Posts

On the Canucks road trip through Col/Cal, the team exceeded our expectations and won 3 of 4 in 6 days. It was a pivotal road trip as they proved they could compete with the big boys. Since then, they have kept winning and are now third overall in the league.

They are now headed east for 7 games spread out over a reasonable 12 days with short trips and just one back-to-back. The way things are going, my expectations for this road trip are much higher this time around.

My prediction is they will go 5-1-1, beating Columbus, Washington, Pittsburgh (in OT), Toronto, and Ottawa, while losing only to Montreal because of Price and Detroit (in OT) because Datsyuk is back.

What are you expecting?

I want 7-0 these are inferior teams in the nhl. Show the east they deserve to b relegated to Mexico or Zimbabwe hockey league :D

I expect the team to compete hard and deserve 5 of 7 wins. Elite teams win games they don't compete for 60 minutes so hopefully they can pull out wins even when they don't deserve it.

That being said, I'll predict 5-2-0 with 2 extra time wins

I hope your tongue was in your cheek. Montreal and Pittsburgh are going to be huge challenges. Montreal is playing well and are tough at home ... and of course they have Price. Pittsburgh is also hot and has an awesome offense. They are second only to that powerhouse Calgary team in goals for. So shutting them down will be tough. Are these the two games you think they will lose?

I always circle the Saturday game against the Leafs in my calendar..Nothing gives me more satisfaction than to beat them in their own barn (same with the Habs)...Im not predicting any scores,but I think the team is on a good roll,they're leaving Vancouver on this road trip with a good vibe.

No I think we'll show up against them. Both games vs the penguins were blatantly fixed last year so hopefully the officiating is even this year. Maybe now with torts gone the refs have less of a vendetta against us. It's the weaker teams we sometimes lose too... Can't afford that. Play hard and go 7 0 but you never know when you play Pittsburgh. The 2 loses would come against a hot goalie. Bobrovsky is capable of that and so is price.

Pittsburgh and Canadiens are average teams in a horrendous conference. They wouldn't make the top 6 in the west. Maybe battle for wildcard but definitely not

I'm really hoping to beat the Wings and Habs, I know too many fans locally. I really belive we can win any and all of the games but realistically I will predict. 4-2-1

Columbus - W

Detroit - W

Washington - L

Pittsburgh - W - Crosby gets nailed by Sbisa and cries before soiling himself on the ice.

Toronto - W

Ottawa - SO-L

Montreal - L
