Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 The prophecy has been fulfilled!Have the Hawks/Ducks ever squared off against each other in the playoffs? or is this the first series between them? Spoilers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Off the top of my head, it's the first.But it's definitely the first time for some sort of championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still MIGHTY Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 It is the first time for Ducks/Blackhawks, yes. They've circled around each other the last few years, usually with the Ducks not holding up their end of the bargain in getting there, but hey. We're here now.It really is going to be one hell of a series. A lot of depth, a lot of star power, story lines, question marks, almost everything you want from a series besides pre-existing rivalry/hate. But that can easily develop haha. I can't wait to get started on this one.This thread may or may not be a fun place for the next couple weeks. We'll see.

Unocal Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 There was one instance where the Hawks didn't hold up their end of the bargain for a potential Anaheim series. 2011- Had they beaten Detroit on the final day of the season, they would have gone from the 8 seed to the 5 seed and faced the Ducks instead of Vancouver. (The playoffs, instead of CHI/VAN, SJ/LA, ANA/NSH, and DET/PHX, would have been VAN/LAK, SJ/PHX, DET/NSH, and CHI/ANA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcj882000 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Welp, my Flames are done, go Black Hawks from here on out!(Not *just* sour grapes on my part, either: my dad's a Hawks fan.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigEd76 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Nashville could move from 25 to 22 with the Flames, Caps, and Hawks moving on.whoops they traded this pick for Franson and Santorelli, lol. Okay, Toronto can move to 23 or 24, then. Draft picks 15 through 21 are now set: 15 = Calgary 16 = Edmonton (PIT) 17 = Winnipeg 18 = Ottawa 19 = Detroit 20 = Minnesota 21 = Buffalo (NYI) --------------------------------------------- 22 = Washington or Vancouver 23 = Vancouver or Toronto (NSH) 24 = Toronto (NSH), Philadelphia (TB) or Winnipeg (STL/BUF) 25 = Philadelphia (TB), Winnipeg (STL/BUF) or Montreal 26 = Winnipeg (STL/BUF), Montreal or Tampa Bay (NYR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 I wonder whether Winnipeg could package 17 and 24-26 for a high pick. Philadelphia stands out as a team that needs organizational depth more than one impact player, but Philadelphia also stands out as a team with aggressively poor foresight, hence their needing two mid/late firsts at this point in the first place. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEd76 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Rumors I've seen have Philly trying to trade up from #7 (maybe to Carolina's #5?) so they can leapfrog NJ for a specific player. I don't think they're interested in trading down. They need to upgrade the forwards in their system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninersdd Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 If they don't like the guys left at #9, maybe the Sharks could move down and get extra picks. BEAR DOWN ARIZONA!2013/14 Tanks Picks Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Not that anyone cares, but my final four is still good (Ducks, hawks, Bolts, Ragners) and I'm in the 90th percentile on NHL.comThough I've found myself pulling for the Capitals. I want Ovechkin to win a title at some point and I'd rather that happen at the peak of his powers rather than as some second/third line role player when he's 38 or something.

Jumped on the Flames bandwagon this year, cause I live here and will continue to support them in the future. I hate the lack of comradery between Canadian teams. First, camaraderie. Second, of course not. It's called being rivals. Just because we all live in California, you're not going to find Kings or Ducks fans rooting for the Sharks or vice versa. You'll find some Ducks/Kings fans rooting for both (and wearing awful frankenjerseys), but those people are generally looked down on by both sides. I understand the rooting for a team because you've lived there for a bit (I did it with the Coyotes.), but typically, most people won't do that for rivals. But then again, Morgo, I think we've all learned you're not most people. So you do you, buddy. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumped on the Flames bandwagon this year, cause I live here and will continue to support them in the future. I hate the lack of camaraderie between Canadian teams. I'm with you on Kesler. I hate demanding trades to one place. It was a dick move when St. Louis did it, it was a dick move when Kesler did it. As for a lack of camaraderie, I don't think there should be much at all. With how intense the Battle of Alberta should be in the years to come (plus the component teams' rivalries with the Canucks), it's gotta be hard to put feelings like that away. I couldn't. I won't even root for T.J. Oshie in the Olympics. I root for him to be struck by an errant Zamboni. Personally, I find it gross when Canada gets behind the last Canadian team standing as if the parade route is going to go all the way across the continent. It's not, and when you pretend to rally behind Montreal, you're not fooling anyone, and certainly not yourselves. Sun Belt fans, such as they are, are typically pretty obnoxious about showing solidarity for "their" teams, too, but at least Canada is an actual country rather than a concept. Be better, I say, and hate freely among yourselves! ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
