Series Discussion: PLOFFS ROUND UNO: [3]FLAMES vs. [2]CANUCKS OFFICIAL DISCUSSION

[Anglesmith]

Really pulling for Anaheim right now. Given the choice between Winnipeg and Minnesota in the Pacific Division bracket, I want Winnipeg. Not that it's that likely to matter, but still.

 

[Taranis]

I like how the two wild cards in the west, no one wants to play.

 

[Flamesarmstrong22]

My lineup for game 1 is:

JG,Monohan,Hudler
Bouma,Backlund,Jones
Raymond,Bennett,Colborne
Ferland,Stajan,Jooris

Bennett and Raymond get game 1. Depending on their play, either Bollig or Granlund can draw in for game 2.

Russel,Wideman
Brodie,Engelland
Schlemko,Diaz/Potter

Hiller

Guys, apparently Vrbata and Lack are better than Giordano.

What? You don't agree? Would pick them over Gio hands down. 11/10.
Lolz

Playing the first 2 games in Van is probably best for such a young roster. It's VAN's game to lose.

Where I think the Flames have the advantage is our center depth. Monahan, Stajan, Backs, Jooris, Colborne, Granlund, Bennett and Shore are all capable Centers that can line up nicely against the Nucks. Our D is weaker but maybe more mobile and can move the puck a little better. Vancouvers transition game is always strong, but if we play our game and block everything, give Hiller a chance, I really have zero nerves for this series. I feel really good about it.

Any room for a bandwagon fan?

Full disclosure. I am a Preds STH and I fully expect us to get swept by the hawks. I followed the Flames back in the mid-80s and still have my cheap polyester ccm jersey.

Nah, let's just do one.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

I wanted to play Vancouver and Nashville this year. Hopefully we don't run into the Ducks (although Hiller might stand on his head against his old team).

Where'd all your money go?

 

[Perceptor]

So my buddy who gets our gamepacks says we got PL seats. Lack of seniority and 3 seats probably did us in. No matter, we will be there for the games and that's all that matters! Go Flames Go!

That's okay Flames can actually develop players.

 

[King In The North]

That's okay Flames can actually develop players.

They have a secret formula to increase advanced stats we just need to hire Eakins to find out what it is.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

Eakins might have been a double agent.
