Maniwaki Canuck Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Please let it be Calgary. Kicking some mullett ass might just get us on that Cinderella run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FijianCanuck Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I would say Calgary, it will be one hell of a series! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thad Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I'm a guy who wants LA (yes, I'm serious) but I would love to see Horvat shut down Monahan and us Taking the series LA's the last team I want. They just know how to win in the playoffs. They could limp into the last wild card spot and just flip a switch to beastmode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAY JAY Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Vancouver vs Calgary or LA Canucks Sweep both teams in 4 games Then jets who beat Anaheim will get pushed aside by us in 5 and then we Sweep the blues and go on to the scf where we beat the penguins in 5.

JAY JAY Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Would love to see us beat the Flames and Hawks on the way to face and beat the Habs in the SCF. That would be so sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fateless Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Well aside from the OP clearly having zero knowledge about how the playoffs brackets are set up and proceeding to defend himself by making fun of posters who actually have legitimate predictions... I'm going to say we play LA in the first round. I'd love to play Calgary and I think that would be both a great matchup for us, but also a very exciting playoff series, but I really don't see Calgary holding onto 3rd in the Pacific (I expect them to take a wildcard). I think that we can take LA in 6 or 7 this year. LA will not be considered an underdog, even if they barely make it into the playoffs, so that removes a lot of pressure from the Canuck players. Quick is not the goaltender he once was and I think that the young players on the Canucks will bring enough heart to bounce LA. With that said, I don't see the Canucks getting past Nashville. If Nashville is knocked out before we have to meet them, then I think we have a legitimate chance at the Cup as the Canucks always perform stellar against eastern conference teams.

Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 In my humble opinion 1st round: STL @ MIN - 4-3 Series NSH @ CHI - 4-2 Series ANA @ WPG - 4-0 Series VAN @ CGY - 4-3 Series MTL @ OTT - 4-3 Series TBL @ DET - 4-2 Series NYR @ WSH - 4-2 Series NYI @ PIT - 4-2 Series 2nd Round: STL @ CHI - 4-2 Series ANA @ VAN - 4-2 Series MTL @ DET - 4-3 Series NYR @ PIT - 4-1 Series 3rd Round: STL @ VAN - 4-1 Series (Biased based on 3-0 Conf finals Record) MTL @ NYR - 4-3 Series Final: VAN @ MTL - 4-3 Series If CGY wins 1st round: 2nd round: STL @ CHI - 4-2 Series ANA @ CGY - 4-1 Series MTL @ DET - 4-3 Series NYR @ PIT - 4-1 Series 3rd Round: STL @ ANA - 4-2 Series (Biased based on 3-0 Conf finals Record) MTL @ NYR - 4-3 Series Final: STL @ MTL - 4-3 Series Reasoning: VAN @ CGY can go either way.

1970 and beyond Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 For some reason I think Vancouver may have a chance. For some reason I think the Cinderella team of the playoffs. Everything just falls into the right place at the right time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Ideal situation to close out the regular season, would be going on a HUGE run(12-2-2, for 26 pts). At the same time, Anaheim flounders, finishing 7-7. We'd win the Pacific Div by a point! Hopefully matching up with a weak, beat-up, & sliding wildcard team. Pac Div... Van-106 pts Ana-105 ...I'd like this a lot. I wouldn't mind this either, but I'd rather face Calgary than Minnesota and agree with what thad said Flames would be perfect. They'd make us work for it but lack the game breakers to blow us open and get us rattled. Couldn't be a better team to face in the first round and get our feet wet.

GMJB Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I'm worried that if the Canucks faced Calgary they would underestimate them huge and the Flames would come out storming causing a potential upset.

The Bookie Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 LA's the last team I want. They just know how to win in the playoffs. They could limp into the last wild card spot and just flip a switch to beastmode. yeah but by that logic, why not just give 'em the Cup at the end of the regular season? as they say, there's a reason the games are played as they also say, don't fear the reaper (just beat him like a cowbell) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 A series with the Flames would be a good first round matchup. It would be some exciting hockey. I would be worried by Calgary's never-quit-we-love-comebacks hockey, but I would hope our playoff experience would make the difference. It is still a better physical matchup that the rest of the conference though. This part does terrify me about facing Calgary. I'd hate to be the victim of epic comebacks.

We've terrorized opponents with our comebacks for the better part of five years, maybe it's time to get our dues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA I could see giving us Chicago style mental breakdowns with all their game breakers. Even if we beat them we may blow it all in that series like 2011.
