WCQF: (2) Anaheim Ducks vs (3) San Jose Sharks | Sharks Leads Series 3-0

[Mafoofoo]

Ducks are sweeping us in 3. I’ll be there for games 1 and 2 and then will take the sad drive back to Laguna

 

[Bowie22]

Ducks in 5 or 6

 

[Jaleel619]

Sharks sweep, ducks not hungry.

 

[Bizz]

Choked away home ice advtg for the last couple a weeks pal get with it

the NHL handed you buttery soft pushovers the last 2 weeks of your schedule.

 

[Fire Benning]

Do we know what Gibson’s status is heading into the playoffs?

 

[Bizz]

This isn't their first meeting right?

no, last time around they had Niedermeyer. Coupled with the Oilers handing them Pronger for a bag of pucks and some Blackhawks-level cap circumvention by convincing Selanne to sit out half the season, it didn't go too well for the Sharks.

As they did for your 8 game win streak

 

[RickyHP]

Honestly shocked the ducks wormed their way into home ice a week ago it seemed inconceivable.

Anyways the ducks chances solely depend on Gibson's health. Seems overly simplistic but true

it seems like every damn year you guys somehow go on a win streak and either take second for first in the division.

anyway, im looking forward to this series. sharks will pull it off in 6

also edit: im beyond happy im not watching another series against the kings

 

[Little Psycho]

Ducks in 7. Destroy each other.

 

[Canucks1096]

Kessler would get destroyed

Strong poll options lol

Kesler fighting skills has improve a lot. Bieksa gave him some lessons

 

[The Noot]

I am a sad pupper now.

I love Thornton and would hate to see his team lose in the first round, but what can you do

 

[8inblack]

Honestly don't think Ducks players or management care what happens this year. Everyone has their eyes on this cores final year of the window next year, and they want to hit it as healthy as possible. I see the sharks winning this series easily. Ducks won't bring playoff intensity.

Sharks in 5.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

As they did for your 8 game win streak

And they weren't done either, they decided to hand us a buttery soft opponent for the first round as well!

 

[KaseMeOutside]

I give it 1 game before Kesler does something to cause Sharks fans to completely hate him

The Avs are playing Nashville

We already played against Kesler in 2011 and we already hate him.

Good let the hate flow through you

We've all hated him since his Canuck days I respect Getzlaf greatly though and was even rooting for you guys against the Oilers last year. Hope it's a good series and nobody gets hurt

Same, I was also rooting for the Ducks last year against Edmonton. Watching them come back from down 3-0 with my mom is a vivid memory I will never forget. When it was 3-0, the announcer said "the Ducks are trying to claw their way back into this game" and my mom was like "yeah, not really, they're probably just trying to make it less of a joke" or something along those lines. And then the epic ensued!

 

[Not So Mighty]

Yeah except Thornton has been out since January along with a bunch of other key players but don’t let facts slow you down.

The first half of the season saw Anaheim lose pretty much their entire Top 6 forwards, Top 4 defensemen, and both goaltenders for extended periods. Injuries are no excuse.

no, last time around they had Niedermeyer. Coupled with the Oilers handing them Pronger for a bag of pucks and some Blackhawks-level cap circumvention by convincing Selanne to sit out half the season, it didn't go too well for the Sharks.

Selanne played 65 games that season. You're thinking of the season before that when we both lost to the Stars.

 

[Terry Yake]

so just like how you guys got thornton for a bag of pucks?

and selanne sat out half the season in 07-08

try again

anyways, i don't have a good feeling about this series. the sharks have a scary team this season. i'll be more confident if gibson is healthy in time for game 1, although not having fowler really sucks

 

[ducks8]

Do we know what Gibson’s status is heading into the playoffs?

He's been practicing the last couple days. Another 3 or 4 days before the series starts, I expect him to be ready.

 

[Juxtaposer]

If the Ducks have any brains, they’ll play Ryan Miller Shark Killer against us.

In all seriousness, I wish both teams were healthy. Sharks are crazy banged up right now and it seems like the Ducks are too.

 

[Joey Moss]

I like the Sharks in this one.

Ducks are also the last time I want to see make a run, want nothing more than them to get knocked out 1st round.
