PDF: (1) Anaheim Ducks vs. (3) Calgary Flames (Series 1-0 ANA)

[Mr Lebowski]

It could easily be a Ducks sweep but who knows what the Flames are gonna do? I could also see a Flames win in 6 or 7

 

[Boomstick]

Not making a prediction, but I Fear No Duck!

 

[Rolo]

Anaheim actually has a competent defense core, their superstar forwards won't take s*** from Ferland and they won't get shutdown by Russell-Wideman lol

 

[BusQuets]

Ducks always have trouble against speedy teams. This might be closer that you think.

 

[MonaHan Solo]

Flames don't stand a chance against Anaheim, so I think it will be Calgary in 6.

[CraigsList]

Ducks in 7.

We will make them work for it.

This is true. But the Flames aren't the Rangers.

 

[Banner]

Ducks in 7. Flames give them trouble but the better team takes it in the end.

Actually Wideman and Russell have been shutting down a lot of top lines this year.

If the flames beat the ducks (without their captain Gio mind you!), this would be a mighty impressive accomplishment. The flames without Gio is like the ducks without Getzlaf.

I do think the flames will miss Gio badly in this series and his absense will eventually catch up to them. Gio makes Brodie so much better.

 

[Markov4Captain]

Anaheim with a clear road to the Conference finals.

Calgary has been a great story but if they continue to get hemmed in their zone like they did against Vancouver, I think Anaheim takes this rather easily. I also think the emergence of Anderssen for Anaheim has really put them over the top.

Ducks in 5.

From a leadership standpoint, yes. From a production standpoint.... no.

As much as I'm lovin' the Flames heart, I don't think they can handle the Ducks. Ducks in 5.

I'm pretty partial from a viewer point of view. If Anaheim wins I'm glad for Kesler; if Calgary wins I'm glad the kids have so much heart.

I'll just leave this here... hopefully it works because I'm posting from the phone.

 

[FLAMES666]

Calgary is in tough for sure but as Friedman said, "they lost 20 straight in Anaheim so they will probably win the series".

 

[HanSolo]

The last time the Flames won at Honda Center, Getzlaf and Perry were still in the AHL.

Just saying. Obviously anything can happen, but I say Ducks in 5 or 6. Calgary may pull one away at home.

 

[EichHart]

Hope the Flames can win, but Ducks in 5/6.

 

[AngelDuck]

The Canucks were able to hem the Flames up in their own zone for a large portion of the series but they didn't have the scoring depth to convert anything. The Ducks seem to have it this year

 

[Mikeshane]

I'll be interested to see if Ferland continues to get away with charging and late hits. If he starts getting called that would indicate the refs conned the Canucks.

 

[Trollmark*]

Go Ducks Go!!

 

[Scarlet Witch]

I think it will be a series where every game is tight, but still ends with the Ducks winning in 5.

 

[Club]

Ducks in 5 or 6

 

[Devonator]

How cute the Flame fans thinking they will actually beat the ducks!! Seriously, Van and Calgary were likely the 2 worse teams in the playoffs this year...now you are actually facing a high end team...

Cinderella turns back into a pumpkin....though the Flames might win 2 games......Ducks in 5 or 6....without doubt!

 

[Bradys Boys]

Flames in 7...

 

[jferguson]

Ducks sweep again. As a Calgarian Ducks fan, this is a dream come true.


Although I think it will be cheaper to fly to Anaheim, see the game and get a hotel than it will be to see the game here in Calgary

 

[Carl Carlson]

Should be an entertaining series. My guess is Ducks in 6.
