Do not know where you get your info from.. Canucks are a much different team this year than teams of the past...Last year they were in every game..wasn't a matter of choking at all...Chicago was treated with kid gloves , other wise Nashville would have knocked them off first...same in the Canuck series..after that Lady Luck and solid team effort won them the championship...they were the least injured team all year and it showed...in their durability in the end...they are worthy Champions..but may go out early if they make it.. we will just have to wait and see...what unfolds....Red Wings will be hard pressed to do much in the play offs...if any team has choked..it has been the Sharks...not sure if they have won the Presidents Trophy..

Originally Posted By vbdad55 do the Canucks want the Hawks in the first round ? I'm thinking not. The Hawks are not the Hawks of last year thanks to the hard salary cap and all 4 top stars spending time on the DL-- many times at the same time...but if Sharp is healthy by playoff time - the addition of Campoli has been a shot in the arm... don't rule out another run
Originally Posted By TINK-MOBILE Absolutely the Canucks want the Hawks..should be the best series of the bunch..both teams play so well against each other...the Canucks were a injury riddled team when they met the Hawks last season...Hawks were treated with kid gloves...Canucks for the most part were all over the Hawks, just could not get the breaks....this year they have gone thru 14 defencemen yet still lead the leaque in power play goals...power play kills....the hawks are a good team...were a terrible team til they managed to pick up good players by been at the bottom...Canucks have really never had that luxury...Hawks and Canucks would be a Great Series...the Ducks are the team that can give them fits..not the Hawks...Sharp will not last long in a tough series, his injury is not a good one to have....still like him..always have...

Originally Posted By TINK-MOBILE No one can really know how a team is going to do Tasha....Vancouver Canucks really were the victims of a lot of non calls which lead to game winning goals..this year I think they will have the stamina to overcome those non calls...which they will surely receive...The referees cost the Canucks the Championship in game seven against the Rangers , where the Canucks dominated the game but could not keep the puck out of the net as a result of the numerous Ghost penalty calls by the officials.. Heard the Disney Store looks nice...they are going to have some characters, balloons at the April 16th Grand Opening...bet it will be crowded...

They got beat last year, pure and simple.--- that's the way it is-- otherwise the Cubs have been th victims of bnad calls/ injuries/weather/Bartman etc for 101 years -- LOL ! The best team in hockey won last year- plain and simple. 2011 is up for grabs

Originally Posted By TINK-MOBILE Vancouver has had their fair share of injuries thru out the year..that did not prevent them from sticking to their game plan and winning the Presidents Trophy...Had they not lost their key players like they did they may very well have lost only half of the games todate...Pittsburg I doubt very much even with Crosby or Malkin would have caught them...if both teams remained as healthy as they started... That is the way it ended up..Vbdad55..lets make no mistake about it..The Chicago Black Hawks are Champions however stating the facts has nothing to do with excuses...The Hawks received a lot of help thru out the play offs..they were out played by the Nashville side, they were outplayed by the Canucks...not always do the best teams win series, just ask the Sharks...Red Wings...Capitals.. Every year the Stanley Cup is up for grabs...right now Chicago is on the way out of the play offs..I like the Hawks hope they make it, they have lots of work to do...One team to watch is the Sharks...they are on a roll...would not like to play them first....
Originally Posted By brotherdave ^^True, but the Penguins were almost unbeatable until both Crosby and Malkin were sidelined with season ending injuries.
