How so? I don’t see them beating Dallas.

Have you watched them in the round robin?

They barely manage to muster up any goals.

No, based totally on round ronbin play and qualifiers.

Canucks in 5

[FijianCanuck]

I like our chances still. Blues have been garbage in the return to play.

[whcanuck]

The Canucks have absolutely NOTHING to lose in this series. Nobody is going to pick them to win. Zero pressure 

[stanleysteamersmyl]

It's going to be a exciting series.  Go Nucks Go!

[SergioMomesso]

Shut down Tarasenko and Schenn and we got this. We really need Virt and McEwen to use their size early and often. Stay out of the box (ahem Myers) and we should be ok. I see us beating these guys just like how CArolina took care of the defending champion Caps last year.

Feels like 2003 where the Canucks have to face the Blues and Wild in the first two rounds, but in reverse order.

I think this is a better match for us than Dallas right now, but I won't be super upset if we lose, I just don't want to get swept. 

 

Miller won't let us get swept. - it's not in his DNA

2 in a row a team won their first cup , i m not saying its gonna be us but its gonna be us

[NucksCelts]

My initial feeling is blues in 6. My homerism says Canucks in 7 so that’s what I voted for.

This could be a bigger factor than people realize. I imagine Dallas will be getting the majority of the calls in their favor in their series against the Flames but the Blues probably won't get too much of a Bettman boost since they already got their ring.

Not to mention it gives them a first hand look at a team that is built for playoff hockey.

 

If they can hang with them it could do wonders for both their confidence and development.

No 3-on-3 overtime means fewer opportunities to give up a 3-on-0. I like their chances.
