obfuscator Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Meh. I do think the nucks will win whoever they play, but I don't see it being a breeze through. I think it goes at least 6 games.

All_Is_Great Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 We all thought they'd breeze through vs CHI too. Any team is able to beat another on any given night IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obfuscator Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Wow. That was a great game. Datsyuk is epic. And Thornton showed up big time when it mattered. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamtaro Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Sharks played outstanding tonight, no question about that. Van/SJ should be a long series. Player since 2004.

All_Is_Great Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Sure, SJS doesn't have Suter/Weber or Keith/Seabrook, but they do have 3 very solid lines, arguably 3 top-2 lines if I am making sense. Pavelski, Thorton and Heatley's lines are very good, and they'll match up well against Kesler and Sedin. That leaves one SJS line to match up against Van's 3rd (Hodgson?). Idk who's on Van's 3rd, but without Malhotra, it just isn't the same. And, I don't like Vancouver so I like to make them sound bad in my head :P Btw Yguy, loved the Hipster Chara pic on that other thread, I was gonna post one but I felt no one would get it, except you lol.

unkn0wnwarrior Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 No matter which two teams make the finals now, I'm going for the West. Preferably Vancouver, though. I don't mind TB, but I like SJ and VAN better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obfuscator Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I'd be cool with a SJ/BOS final too though. The only team I really don't want to win is TB, only because if they do they'll spawn their glorified trap imitations, which makes for pretty boring hockey.

And i'm rooting for TB because of Rolie <3:TB is the only trap team in the playoffs currently. Boston plays good D, focused but I wouldn't call it the trap. Also, TB doesn't play a true trap, and the reason I hate the trap is because it's boring. Good thing is, Tampa has enough offensive firepower to keep the games pretty interesting.

All_Is_Great Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Alot of teams play the trap. Why else do teams dump the puck in? To get past the trap and battle for the puck. TB just plays it consistently. That being said though, in game 1 they didn't play 1-3-1 all the time, and that was a big reason why they beat the Bruins. They forced turnovers and scored goals with a VERY DEEP 2-3 forecheck. Boston prepared for the 1-3-1 but didn't see this curveball from Guy Boucher.
