Time Lord Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Flames projected lines according to HFFlames Other than Bollig, all of those forwards are real good players. Gaudreau - Monahan - HudlerFerland - Stajan - JonesBennett - Backlund - ColborneBollig - Granlund - JoorisRussell - WidemanBrodie - EngellandSchlemko - PotterHillerOrtio The bottom 3 defenseman will get eaten alive by the Sedins. I doubt the Sedins will play many shifts against the 3rd pairing Engelland is definitely a problem for Calgary, playing against our top 6. He does have Brodie with him though. That roster is not going anywhere in the playoffs They have 1 1/2 lines and 2 defensemen ??? Ya that = contender LMAO NOT!!! You're underestimating them. *3 good defencemen And their forward depth isn't bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revelnuck Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I have the same teams in the final and have a hard time believing we'd prevail should both teams make it there. I can only see it as a disadvantage that AV knows half the Canucks roster so well. The Rangers are a tough enough challenge without his inside edge and having been in last year's final gives them that much more determination not to leave empty handed. Try to cross that bridge if it presents itself though. Step 1 tomorrow night. GO 'NUCKS GO !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigtganks Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 If we drove up from the states on the Montana side, is there a Canucks sportsbar in Calgary or a place where Canucks fans congregate and aren't surrounded by 90% flames fans? Where would you watch game 3 or 4 in Calgary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to cross that bridge if it presents itself though. Step 1 tomorrow night. GO 'NUCKS GO !! This is a very different roster than the one AV coached in 2011. In fact, he only coached 10 of the regulars in the lineup. That's like saying the Sedins know how to score on Lundqvist because they played on team Sweden with them. Besides, AV is always outcoached in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where would you watch game 3 or 4 in Calgary? Why did the Mormon walk into a bar? Playoffs baby! Sorry, couldn't help myself. There was a post in another thread about a bar (in the NW?) that used to be staffed by %50 Canucks fans a number of years ago. That doesn't help much, and the search button will drive you in circles...

EMOTIONAL WRECK Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 This... Their two top guys are soft as butter. The funny thing is that Flames fans have been mocking the Sedins supposed lack of toughness for years and now they have 2 guys that make Bieber look tough as their main scoring threat. LOL. too funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get soda and wings instead of beers. Then you've always got a designated driver too. Haha. maybe we'll just have to take our chances with some drunk flames fans. Ha. Thanks!!

cbdoubleu Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Battle of 2 franchises who haven't won a series since their failed finals appearances. Canucks obviously 0-3 Flames 0-5 (including three game 7's) Which franchise needs it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luongo_01 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 VAN in 6. Both teams are mediocre puck possession teams, but Calgary has relied on unreal luck the whole season. Sedins will take over this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beary Sweet Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Richie is going to be back in the lineup for game one!!!! He's an instant X factor in the series and will be a pivotal player for the Canucks in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
