So whats everyones predictions for round 2? I think Canucks in 6. ;D What do you guys think the keys for the Canucks to take down the Ducks will be?
-
good prediction.
if canucks can carry their momentum and stay out of the box then we should take them in 6. ;)
-
Not a chance, now your playing a real team with depth and a great tender. They have way to much power up front and in the back to deal with. Ducks in 5.
-
Another seven game series. The ducks like to take the body and try to intimidate their opponents. Luckily, this last series was pretty much a no hitter for Vancouver so it didn't take much of a toll on the Nuk's bodies......they'll be ready for the Ducks.
The Ducks because of their rough tough style of play take alot of penalties. Vancouver has to capitalize on these opportunities, stay out of the box themselves, and forecheck Pronger and Neidemyer like crazy so they can't get that first great pass off out of their zone.
Vancouver is so defence oriented I think it will frustrate the hell out of the Ducks...they'll take chances, turn the puck over in the neutral zone, and hopefully, we'll capitalize on them.
Vancouver in 7

You said the Nuks had no chance to beat the Stars and looked what happened. ::)

That was before the series started. Than you changed your tune throughout the series.

i said they would have problems if they did not get game 5, thats been there problem for ever, not taking a team out when they have the chance. That's all I said.

They had no problems they won didnt they ;)

What series were you watching? No problems? They couldn't score, that was a big problem. They were out played 6 of the 7 games, that's also a problem.

So what are you Lumpy? A 'Nucks hater that watches all the games???

Your living in the past man. They won who cares how they did it. Now they have to come up with a different game plan. The Stars are a team that is exactly like the Canucks. Both rely on defense and good goaltending. It was like playing a shadow of themselves.

They really have to come up with a game plan, now there playing a tough, fast, offensive minded team with great D, should be a great series.
-
Glad they got their PP working today as the Ducks are a very undisciplined team that takes allot of penalties.
-
So what are you Lumpy? A 'Nucks hater that watches all the games???
Not a nuck hater at all, I just don't predict games with my heart. I watch all the games in all the series. I do a lot of online gambling so I follow all the series closely.

they scored when it counted....yes it was frustating at times, but the canucks didn't win their division for nothing......anaheim is a great team and so was nashville.......but hey these are the playoffs and tonite's win will help the canucks bond, just like in '94.

i say the nucks in 7
-
CONGRATS BOYS, HAVE FUN WITH THE DUCKS ! TEAM LUONGO IS GONNA HAVE TO STEP IT UP ALOT !
-
CANUCKS ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D and next time i look at ur profile " CAPTAIN BONK " that calgary flames logo BETTER BE GONE! or else i'll piss out the flames myself
-
Lumps which team are you backing, are you a Duck fan??
Canucks will take it 6, they found what they can do last game and will just keep rolling from here. ;D

I like the way the Ducks play, a couple of my really good friends play for them, so I show a little support.

hmmm .. looks like the Nuck's are gonna have to save Luongo's butt tonight !! Guigere stones three Nuck's in the first five minutes .. Luongo ... not so much :-\

Can't really see them as Luongo's fault. Fitzpatrick looked like he was skating in sand when Macdonald blew right by him on that last goal..... ???

No you can't blame him.. but look at the saves the other goalie made ! you need you're goalie to stop the impossible ones if you want to win a cup !

I didn't see any unreal saves by Giguerre... I did see Cowan beat him on one he should have stopped though... Mind you I am used to watching Luongo so.... But to me, Giggy looks beatable, so we'll see what happens. ;)
-
I don't think the Nuck's looked really outplayed at all !! the Duck's capitalized on all their chances..
-
Besides the three one score I have to say I am happy with how the teams match up !! Canuck's are looking pretty good and are getting alot of chances.. should be a fun series !!!
TH
-
The next goal is going to be HUGE!!! If the Nuks get they're right back in the game....if it's the Ducks...Goodnight Irene :(
-
The hunters lost, the ducks won. ;D ;D ;D
-
No big deal !! it wasn't a 5-1 game.. the Duck's chances went in the Nuck's didn't .. next game they will be rested and calmer and the Nuck's will get a nice win and come home with a split !! Someone needs to tell Luongo he isn't Turco lol
TH

by the way !! what the heck was with that call on Burrows for diving ?? how can you call diving after the play is over ?? was that not a blatant hit by Selanne ?? I don't get it ..
TH
-
Canucks only played the first 10 mins of the game. The rest of the game they were beaten to the puck. The Canucks forecheck was terrible. The Ducks were pushing the Nuks around like they were nothing. ALlo they let them get under their skin and took dumb penalties. Cant blame Luongo for this one the Canucks played poorly.

I think it was a make up call for missing the high stick to Selanne.

Just got back from the game, tuff one for the nuck fans. Nucks were missing some key guys though.

The boys are very quite tonight. :o Come on take the Lumps like we from the Leaf Nation have had to take for the last 40 years. We are reminded of that often by Fish Assassin and others. ;D ;D No word from Big Steel and many other Canuck supporters after last nights game but I guess they have finally come to realize no parade for them this year once again, how many years has it been for them now mojoman? ;D ;D ;D
Only Big Steel and Fish Assassin on line at this time with the rest too depressed about the upcoming end of their dream for 2007 I guess. ;)
-
We lost out played especially on the pp we have to figure that one out and in a hurry or the hunter will be the hunted....

;D ;D ;D Actually, I was lambasted for picking 5-1 Anaheim in the first game at work, so I wasn't surprised much. They were out 4 good players and were up against a rested and holy crap fast team. Hopefully, Salo and maybe Bieska will be back, still could use the Cooker though....and Keslar to pressure the Dorks coming out of their own zone. Either way, every asspect of there game has to be a lot better if they hope to win a couple games in the series. ;) AND STAY OUT OF THE BOX!!! ::)

Not much you can do when a quarter of your regular lineup is down with injuries ??? Cheers

Yes we had the same problem for a good part of the year so I know how it feels. We missed the playoffs because of it but in a few months we will be rolling once again. ;D ;D ;D

I believe its been 38 years Chris....but it may "only" be 37.... ;D

The reason why the Laughs didn't make the playoffs (how many consecutive years Chris ? ;D) is because your so called goalie couldn't stop a beach ball. Remember the 6-1 shellacking at the hands of the Canucks ? Remember the 3 goal meltdown in the third period against Buffalo ? ;D How's Sundin and Tucker enjoying their summer so far ? ;D
-
canuck's worst game is still better than make belief's best. forget the fact we're missing 4 key players and just finished a grueling 7 game series......the canuck's will prevail. ;) anaheim have yet to see the real canucks....at their best. :)

Believe me they love there time off. When there going for the cup it's all business, soon as they get knocked out they really don't care. Time to party and have fun. I fly into Tampa tomorrow to play golf with O'Brien and Lupul, they couldn't be happier to be out of the race.

It's great you believe so much in your Nucks! Real Nucks or not they don't have the depth to compete.
-
Does everyone forget that the Nuck's had one of if not the best teams after Christmas ?? do you forget that they beat all types of teams with different styles ?? does everyone forget that they finished the season with 105 points ?? only a few less the " Mighty Ducks " it amazes me how everyone in this city gets so down after one game !! wait until after tonight when the Nuck's head back to Vancouver with a split .. everyone will be piling back on the band wagon !!! The Duck's are very beatable ! you could see how much more room the Canuck's had in the first game ! We will come out much tighter and more prepared tonight and you are going to see a very different game ... Nuck's are gonna win the cup it is already written in the stars.. ;)

Looking back on my records I owe you two Stealth floats on a bet we made re points between the Leafs and the Vancouver team. How about double or nothing that the Canucks donot win the Cup? ;D ;D ;D

Bring up Brandon Reid as a speedy forward and play him with Linden (hands/grit) and Cowan (size). See what happens.
The Nucks need to match the speed of the Ducks. I did not see the first game but i know that Anehiem plays a very fastpaced end to end game. They need to capitalize on their chances quickly, get a solid lead, and hold it like they've done all season. They will frustrate the Ducks into taking stupid penalties.
They can do it, they just need heart.
-
OK Chris, I'll bet you that the Laughs won't win the Stanley Cup next year. ;D

These guys keep going on about the leafs and flamers sound like the guy who lost the big fish and don't stop talking about it for weeks........

Well that was period one and I did not get to see any of it but now I get to see the rest. You see I am still at work but from now till 4 in the morning I have to baby sit a movie crew that is filming here all night.

not bad for a first year rebuilding stage....how could anyone say anything negative about that?

Win!!!
Cowan gets a lucky one but they all count. We got a split in Anaheim which is all we could have asked for against a great team like the Ducks.
Dont lose the faith!!!!
-
Cowan comes through again. Thats two goals these playoffs.
-
Well there it is !!! Canuck's play an awesome team game and bring it back to Vancouver with a split !! :)
everyone back on board !!!!! lol

well deserved win. we were out manned, injury plagued and disrespected......back to GM place and our own backyard.

good player, but after what he did in Edmonton, i lost respect for him....what good is he if he can't honour a contract and not even give the fans a reasonable explanation as to why he wanted a trade.......personal reasons as an excuse doesn't cut it.

It's great you believe so much in your Nucks! Real Nucks or not they don't have the depth to compete.
all their injuries and lack of superstar power, yet they managed to win in double overtime....so much for your hockey know-how.
