Corvus Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 And this newfound faith in Luongo in the playoffs comes from where exactly?Personally it comes from; his new style, less responsibility, new goalie coach, and much more stable emotions.Oh, also, from Vancouver having the least goals against in the league despite never having its top six D together until the last week of the year. Ballard and Salo are a hell of a third pairing. It is much easier for Roberto to be relaxed without the likes of Shane O'Brien, or last year's version of Andrew Alberts out there playing critical minutes.

The_Admiral Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I can't get a read on the Rangers. Lots of shootout wins make them appear deceptively good, but their goal differential also suggests they're really unlucky in regulation/overtime. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 As much as I'd like my girlfriend to be happy about the Canucks winning the Cup, I think their gawdy stats are misleading because of the terrible division they played in. The Canucks scream "2010 Capitals' Playoff Run" to me, for some reason. I think the Canadian media attention will overwelm them with the "Bring the Cup home to Canada!" stuff at some point.Capitals over Rangers in 6Flyers over Sabres in 6Canadiens over Bruins in 7Lightning over Penguins in 6Canucks over Blackhawks in 7Sharks over Kings in 5Red Wings over Coyotes in 6Predators over Ducks in 6Capitals over Canadiens in 6Flyers over Lightning in 7Canucks over Predators in 6Sharks over Red Wings in 7ECF: Flyers over Capitals in 6WCF: Sharks over Canucks in 6SCF: Sharks over Flyers in 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 But if you look at things, the Canucks still tend to the bed when playing say, Minnesota or Colorado.That being said, President's Trophy + Chicago in the first round = Detroit going to the Finals.

Don't get me wrong, it's been fun to do that since about 2003, but at some point, will we ever learn?The Sharks are 13-10 at home since the lockout. Are we still sticking with the whole Shark-Tank-is-so-intimidating narrative?

In a few weeks, you will be too. Let's see what kind of game you're talking after you've been through game after game of the Preds' patented five-man penalty kill. At any rate, it's still funny that this series is more readily available in Canada than it is in any American place that isn't Los Angeles or Nashville.I'm not doubting the actual style of the Predators. If a team's game is almost always more simplified and broken down to it's core in the playoffs, I fully dread watching the Predators sitting back and trying to swallow up Getzlaf/Perry/Ryan (plus Selanne and Visnovsky), spit them into the neutral zone, and catch a bored Emery/Ellis (or woozy Hiller) with a shot.Luckily the season series of Ducks/Preds has some asterisks to it on the Ducks side. First game was the 3rd game of the year on a back-to-back, and really I just wipe those first three games out of my memory. This is nowhere near the team that opened the season. 2nd game the Ducks won was way back in November and was only 5-4, and again a completely different team between then and now. 3rd game was a few days after the Getzlaf injury and the Ducks were still kind of reeling. 4th game is interesting. It was Hiller's first start after his lengthy bout with vertigo and he was nowhere near ready, looked as out of place as any goalie could look, and got pulled after being down 3-0. Then Ellis came in the the Ducks nearly won coming back with a 5-4 score.It'll be an interesting series, if the Ducks can get the early advantage and that RPG line keeps on dominating. Watching Nashville have to fight from behind could give the series a little bit of spice, I guess.As far as it being readily available, again it's a deal because of Versus being the only option on US TV and it's hard to fit every series on one channel. And those that are actually interested in watching the Ducks or Predators probably have Center Ice anyway and can watch the Anaheim or Nashville coverage. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
