[HansH]

The Gulls _must_ win one of the two in Cedar Park to have a chance to advance, in my opinion. Having to win three in a row against a team that has had the Gulls' number frequently this season would be WAY too much of a hill to climb.

 

[duxfan1101]

Big 3-1 victory in Texas for the Gulls. Goals by Laganiere, Ritchie, Mueller. Khudobin with 28 saves on 29 shots.

As a result, there are now guaranteed to be at least two playoff games at the VVCC. Big win indeed!

??? correct me if I am wrong isn't it best of 5...if they win the other game there and come back up 2 and win the 3rd you get no game 4, right?

Yeah but then they get at least one home game the next round.

I was kinda worried the Stars would sweep their home games, considering how the season series with them played out. Huge away win, and nice to see Ritchie pot the GWG.

 

[Quack Shot]

I got tickets for game 3, can't wait! Glad Ritchie found the back of the net, he needs a confidence boost.

He also had a hit that semi-lead to the 3rd goal as well.

Thanks for sharing. For a big guy, Ritchie can be pretty nimble. I think he surprises a lot of defensemen in that regard.

[ShadowDuck]

Are any Ducks eligible to be sent down, Gibson?

 

[heffbe]

Theodore and Wagner have been sent down

 

[anezthes]

SD should have pretty good chances at winning the Calder right? Or am I overestimating our team down there?

 

[Paul4587]

I don't know about the west but there are some stacked teams in the east. Look at the roster the Marlies are icing for example.

It's the playoffs - anything can happen. Texas finished #3 in the Pacific, behind the Gulls, but won the head-to-head season series against the Gulls 5-1, so coming home with three games to play isn't a guarantee of advancing. Assuming they do win two of three at home, the next round is against Ontario, who were WAY in front in the regular-season standings, but the Gulls went 8-4 against them in the head-to-head, so who knows how the playoffs will work out, especially with all the Kings' players and all the Ducks' players eligible to be sent down (as well as all the ATOs on both squads).

Any team that gets out of the Pacific will likely have a relatively unknown opponent to face in the Conference finals, given the 60 of 68 games that were played in-division, and should the Pacific representative reach the CC Final, they're almost guaranteed to have an opponent they've never seen before.

I would say there is "a visible path to the Cup", personally, but wouldn't go so far as to say "a good chance". The biggest factor, to me, is which Gulls team shows up for the majority of games -- they can be bafflingly inconsistent from game to game.

 

[duxfan1101]

Theodore, Wagner, Sorensen, Pettersson, and Larsson have all been added to the Gulls roster.
