Can we do all skate jerseys all the time in honour of the 30-year anniversary of the 1994 run?

 

[VanJack]

Special teams will decide this series.....you know Nashville will try to slow the Canucks down with physical play and they're bound to take penalties. If the Canucks can get their PP untracked, they could have a huge edge.

But what does it matter who you play in the first round? There's always an upset or two in the first round series.....and with NHL parity, just about anybody can beat anybody. Look at Seattle last year. They beat the Av's and went another seven against Dallas.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Back to back Game 6 and 7? Crazy NHL.

Yup. Bridgestone/Rogers Arena have a shitton of concerts lined up.

 

[HelloCookie]

Canucks in 6. I'll sleep little until mid June if that's what it takes to witness a long run I hope for

Think this is going to be alot tougher than folks think. Nashville is a real gud team.

Canucks in 7!

I’m in on the Canucks in 7 action. No easy matchups, unless you’re the Rangers.

What makes them good? They had an insane 17 game run and they can score but statistically the rest of their game is middle of the pack and lower.
If we play to our level we win this in 4-5 games imho.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Canucks in 5.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Preds have been slumping a little down the stretch, but they're a good team and by no means an easy out. Hughes/Josi and Demko/Saros will be a lot of fun.

I'm excited. Man I love this team.

 

[David71]

boldest prediction in this series. brock boeser will go off. and have a snipe show on these predators.

Inb4 EP wakes up and puts up like 15 points in 6 games

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

I’m sure the more casual are ready to know who Sherwood, Lauzon, and Sissons are a bit more after this series.

 

[Jay26]

Don't take these guys lightly. They fit the profile of a team that got hot at the right time. They're going to be tough.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Lauzon is going to be a handful. Wouldn’t surprise me if he finished with 50-70 hits this series.

 

[DimitriL07]

Rogers Arena is gunna be electric baby

Van in 6

 

[Szechwan]

No U2 intro please. There is an endless sea of music out there that would work and we are in a new era. No need to harken back to what was ultimately a failed run, no matter how fun it was.

Never loved the first lyrics being "I want to run, I want to hide" either.

Had to change up the avatar for the playoffs boys. Shall Quinton carry us to glory.

 

[Flik]

Man, I can't wait to see the playoff versions of: Miller, Hughes, Hoglander, Demko, Zadorov, Joshua and Garland.

Edit: I guess Petey is allowed to party too, maybe Brock Boeser as well, sure, why not.

 

[lawrence]

Canucks in 4

 

[thecupismine]

Probably the best matchup we could've asked for as fans.

Not sure we match up better with them than the Kings, but this series promises to be exciting to watch, which I can't say about an LA series. No one wants to play Vegas round 1 with Stone coming back (shocker) for game 1.

Biggest X-factor is what version Saros shows up. If its last years version, the Canucks could be in trouble. If it's this years version, I think we'll be just fine.

The games can't come soon enough!

 

[PG Canuck]

Already have chills of the playoff towels waving. If they don’t come out to Where the Streets Have No Name, they lose this series.

Just remembered the Preds skipped a U2 concert at the Sphere and went on their little run….time to give them their concert and pummelling.

then vancouver answers back with soucy cole zaddy myers.

 

[Soups On]

The Canucks take this. Better high end talent, forward depth, defensive depth, and goaltending. Only way I see this going the other way is if the powerplay shits the bed. Petey and Hughes tend to have their way with the preds.
