Don't care, because the Ducks should make short work of them both. But I will lean towards the Canucks because they do not look too good right now and Flames do not seem to be slowing down anytime soon. I would easily choose Canucks though if Giordano wasn't injured.

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Vancouver simply for the fact two of my teammates are Vancouver fans and said they would get suites for every home game

 

[Tecumseh]

Is this a joke? Definitely the Canucks. They blow.

 

[Ando]

Either works, but if I had to choose I'd play Vancouver.

 

[SelanneDucks8]

I don't care about who is tougher, I just wanna see Hiller shaking our hands sending us off to the WCF

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Ducks shouldn't care. If they can't beat Vancouver or Calgary we don't deserve to lift the cup.

 

[190Octane]

I wonder how beast mode Kesler would go against Vancouver.

I agree. In a one through eight seeding format Calgary would have been the eighth and Vancouver fifth. You can't be terrible and make the playoffs (unless you won the southleast), but the Ducks are on another level. Underestimating them is a terrible idea of course, but the Ducks should win against either.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Wow, don't like this thread at all.

 

[Getzmonster]

Avoid Hiller and the speedy skill team that has all kinds of intangibles. Not that the Flames worry me too much, but the Nucks seem just our speed.

 

[Ducks in a row]

Well in defense of the Canucks if we face them they will be a hot team winning 3 in a row when facing elimination.

 

[Mr Rogers]

I think we'll find out tomorrow. Don't see a young Flames team coming back in Van if they lose tomorrow (which I don't think they'll do)

 

[190Octane]

My bracket had the Flames in 6 and that's what I'm expecting to see tomorrow.

 

[darkwingduck]

Regardless we get two interesting storylines: Kesler vs his former team or Hiller vs his old team.
I'd like to face the Vancouver Canuck but at the end of the day bring on all comers.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

for once i just want to be on the other side of hillers unclutch goaltending and timely soft goals...

otoh kesler responds well to being boo'ed so maybe vancouver is the better option

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Vancouver, neither team really scares me, but I think we match up more favorably vs the Canucks.

That said, I would not mind going to a game or two if they do get Calgary. Though Ferland is an idiot and hope he won't goof off too bad.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

just realized ducks could be the south park of the NHL

winnipeg, van/cal, possibly mtl/ott
call it the **** canada tour?

 

[Tecumseh]

Just hoping that rest doesn't turn to rust

 

[Paul4587]

I like the Flames way more than the Canucks who I have zero respect for but Vancouver is a much more preferable opponent. They're softer, have worse goaltending and don't have a lot of depth in any area.

 

[mightyquack]

Couldn't care less, they are both teams we should be beating in a 7 game series.

 

[HanSolo]

I don't care about who is tougher, I just wanna see Hiller shaking our hands sending us off to the WCF

He'd probably go straight to the locker room like on Teemu's last regular season game.

[Norduck]

Neither team is particularly worrisome, though I wouldn't be shocked if Calgary managed to give the Ducks fits, but Canucks v Kesler is too juicy to not be hoping for it.

 

[terranraida]

I wanna say Vancouver, because they're injured... but Calgary has Hiller... and Hiller lets in those savoury soft goals...
