Sigh
No team ever sits their stars to "rest" them on route to the playoffs. I do not know why people insist on it. I'd much rather they be in game shape than skipping a bunch of games for no actual reason.

the detroit red wings have rested their stars at the end of seasons for years.

Your hero.
Yes because they are gonna be that much better then st. louis this year, and repeat the cup run.....
My thinking is this team has scouted and maybe more prepared for an L.A series this year, obviously I dont want either, but its not absurd I dont want st. louis.

Hard to get up for a game against Calgary, in Calgary.......the Saddledome is DULLsville.

it happens in the NHL. then teams fighting for the last playoff spot get pissy because a team rests their stars against a team they are battling with for the playoffs. I can see teams doing whats best for their teams health if it won't affect where they finish. happens in football too.

The Blues should pass the Sharks, I think. We've lost all three to the Sharks this year, I think, so it's not like it's an easy match up, but it seems to me it might be a better one for the Canucks. Minny could also sneak into that spot. Or we could catch the Ducks (unlikely, but possible)

I think we should be able to beat Colorado, Nashville, Dallas and Edmonton with ease, so long as we show up in the first two periods and continue to excel in the 3rd.
Winning against Detroit, St. Louis, Chicago and Anaheim will probably be tougher.
We've also shored up the tie break situation. Canucks have 1 more ROW than the Wild, with the Wild still having one in hand. Head to Head was 2-2, and next tie-break is goal differential. Canucks have destiny back in their own hands when it comes to the NW division title.

Blues:
Cons - Big team, bad travel, elite defense.
Pros - We have played them well this year, and Halak is out, I believe.
Sharks:
Cons - Big, can go on winning streaks, Niemi has been very good this year, they have beaten us pretty good.
Pros - Can go on losing streaks, defense isn't great, Niemi can be bad, best travel, we have beaten them in the playoffs before.
Wild:
Cons - Boring, bad travel, seem to own us in Minny, beat us the last two meetings, Pominville.
Pros - Defense is weak after Suter, we seem to own them in Vancouver, not that punishing a team.
Wings:
Cons - Have absolutely thumped us this year, bad travel, are the Red Wings, Datsyuk
Pros - Not that good a team, Kesler plays like a monster he-man against them, not that punishing.
All in all I still think I'd want the Sharks.

At first I thought you were talking about cons for THEIR team. I was like "How the hell is being big and having elite defense a con?" lol
Pretty accurate though for us, good job.
