why Sharks are overated........we will beat them and get our revenge
How are they overrated?
Vlasic Braun
Irwin Boyle
Some combination of Hannan/Stuart/Demers
Stuart hasn't yet played due to a lower body injury, but there is some speculation he may play Thursday.
I wouldn't say overrated, but I'd really like to see a level playing field in terms of penalties before making a judgement.

How are they overrated?
Can't speak for the other poster, but I think the Sharks have become overrated. I've seen many pundits predicting the Sharks to finish higher than us this year, and talking about how our window is closing.
However, the Sharks have an older core (aside from Couture) and a much worse prospect system. They're sliding a lot harder than we are, and nobody seems to talk about it.
Father in law got tickets for us to go to the season opener! Section 217, look for the tall white guy surrounded by small Asians all wearing Canucks gear
CSN Bay Area is replaying the playoff games vs Van
Stay disciplined then.
Lou has played pretty good against the sharks the past few seasons. Thats one thing that gives us a chance.
They're sliding harder, yet they beat our ***** and seeing them finish higher than us is almost seen as impossible by many here. Okay.
Nobody says its impossible. But preseason predictions are all about how teams look on paper, and I think the Canucks look much better than the Sharks on paper.
The point about them beating us last year doesn't hold much water, anyway. They have to play all the other teams, too, and we did finish ahead of them anyway. The team will play much, much differently than last year, in any case, so it's a bit of a blank slate.
No need to be hostile about others having a different opinion.
over/under on how PPs the sharks get? i'd say 5 is a good number
Don't know how you've come to the decision that we're better than them on paper when we've upgraded nothing from when they last swept us, but that's your opinion I guess. The Canucks will play much more differently, but it's to be seen if that much more different style goes uphill or downhill.

I'm not saying Nucks are better on paper, but you have to admit that having a healthy Kes and Booth is certainly and upgrade.
Also, Santerelli and Richardson > Ebbett and Lappy
Just a work day standing between us now.
