So the Canucks need to fight to clinch the division as much as possible. LA don't scare me... Or Vegas. To me in order of how they match up against the nucks, hardest to easiest in the West. 1) Jets (Best goaltender/Play heavy/Vet leadership) 2)Avalanche(Won before/Hungry) 3)Stars (Good goaltender/Best defence in West) 4)Oilers(McDrais) 5)Knights(Just won/Same team) 6)Preds(Good goaltending/good team structure) 7)Kings(Streaky great/vet leadership that has won twice). If we get #4-7 for first and second round... I think we could make it to the conference final. All bets are off for #1-3 especially Jets and Avalanche.

Harsh winters,nice summers 24 hr daylight. Great fun as a kid. Wow that's definitely remote! Keno is a pretty special place now. Has only like 12 year round residents.

For me it's: 1. Avs (Most dangerous combo of skaters, NHL fav/likely to be favoured by zebras/league over a Canadian team) 2. Jets (not a great matchup for Nucks for the reasons you mentioned) 3. Oilers (McDrais + better D corps than previous years) 4. Knights (LTIR, NHL darling) 5. Stars (Better defense but Canucks have matched up well against them this year) 6. Preds = Kings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Louis, Los Angeles, and Minnesota are battling to secure a playoff spot. (And to a lesser extent Vegas). Pretty sure it's going to be wild the last few weeks of the season. I actually wouldn't be surprised if Winnipeg falls out of the top 3 in it's division and Nashville takes their place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post -dlc- Posted March 24 Popular Post Share Posted March 24 As far as listing teams in order of preference for playoffs....I can't. All teams, to me, should be of concern. None of it is to be taken lightly (or be afraid of). Just see what unfolds, no let up. I'm just so STOKED to have playoffs again. They really bring back some fond memories for me...with Mom, my kids. I used to hold parties for my kids (my son was 7...my daughter was too young to know what it was all about but loved the atmosphere). I'd invite their friends and their familieis over for parties and each game the excitement grew. We hung the Province posters on the wall each time a new one came out...until the living room was plastered. I made a cake out of candy corn (skate logo) and it turned out awesome. Playoff vibes are so incredible. I freestyle/free hand drew an orca logo on my huge front room bay window. It turned out WAY better than it should've considering it was spur of the moment before a game and I was just winging it. I met LH/CB on CDC when we started moderating together....then we'd find out we lived up the street from each other and he told me he always noticed the logo in my window and loved it. I kept it up for years...our strata made special accommodations to the "nothing in the window except blinds/curtains" bylaw. When I finally went to wash it off the sun had burned the window marker into my window. It refused to leave and was etched on there. Like my team is on my heart. LET'S GO!!!!! All in. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Crossbar Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I'm not afraid of any team. When healthy, we can beat anyone. Whoever we get in the first round will be tough no matter what. Each round will be a dogfight. The parity is now so really close. I'm not looking for the easy way out. There isn't one. Bring it on! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the teams are equal at his point. It's a toss up. Could end up being worse finishing in first. I say that mostly after 2011 and 2012. The President's trophy don't mean didley squat, and that's been proven more times than not. Edited March 24 by Gawdzukes 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
