We would like to thank the Detroit Red Wings for a hard fought series. The Wings are one of the greatest franchises in professional sports, and will continue to be a perennial threat in the NHL.
Off to the Western finals against a very familiar foe! How could it be the NHL playoffs without a Chicago-Vancouver playoff series?
The Vancouver Canucks made several roster moves, and have a very impressive, new look roster. They have tremendous depth at all positions, and are loaded with skill and speed. They will be our toughest challenge yet. We would like to wish them luck, and commend their GM JayP, on building a fantastic roster.
We feel that since the deadline, we have made several substantial improvements to a team that is already amongst the NHL's elite. We have 2 powerful offensive lines, a high octane third line with speed and tremendous defensive prowess, and a physically punishing fourth line. Our defense, lead by Norris trophy winner, Duncan Keith, is rock solid. In the history of the Vancouver/Chicago playoff wars, the Canucks have always had the advantage in net. Until now. With Pekka Rinne between fhe pipes, our teams impressive depth, and leadership we think that we can ultimately prevail in the Western conference finals and compete for Lord Stanley!
