Voice of reason right here.

it's ok! they're gonna do it for Manny :fuckyea:

3rd year in a row.

History comes in threes?

I'm sorry but if you think we can't handle the Hawks, what about the second round then when we get there? What if the team we go up against is the Ducks? Selanne, Ryan, Getzlaf, Perry, Visnovsky? Those guys are power houses. What about SJS? Thornton, Marleau, Heatly, Clowe, Pavelski, Boyle, Couture? What if come finals time we play against BOS or PHI? They're probably the deepest teams in the east. Gonna be scared of them as well?

If you don't know what the difference is between CHI and DAL, then you don't know anything about hockey. That's just as dumb as your first sentence. I said it once and I'll say it again, if we can't beat ANY team, we don't deserve the cup.

Dal = less travel, easier team, more likely to be a shorter series which = less likelihood of injury which = playoff longevity.

It's not about being afraid of CHI (or ANY team for that matter). I'm 100% confident we'll beat them and shake the demons. The fact is, in every sport, every single athlete looks for some type of competitive edge. Read the above paragraph for a few examples of the competitive edge the Canucks would gain from playing Dal vs. Chi.

BRING ON THE HAWKS!

GO CANUCKS!!!!!

crawford (as in Marc the coach) got screwed by minny again lawlz

Third time is the charm?

We better pwn the shit out of the Blackhawks. This dude at work is a Blackhawks fan, so freaking annoying... Pwn them so the guy can sthu.

I don't think it's a matter of being scared. It's just smarter to take on the weakest teams first to avoid injuries and to get some rest before the next round

PUMPED UP YET?

The Hawks don't scare me, the Ducks do. I'm glad we didn't have to face them but who knows we might have to face them in the 2nd round.

Hawks, being dominant have a weak spot in the city...

not one Canuck was in that

hey it worked for hossa

It's a shame he couldn't snag better looking women considering all the money and fame he has.

Dallas is less travel than Chicago? I'm not saying you're wrong or right, but I thought CHI is closer. I agree and disagree with you. Yeah my first statement is pretty dumb as I look at it again, but you can't necessarily predict that DAL would be a shorter series vs playing CHI. Yes we did run them over in the regular season, but playoffs is different than regular season.

I agree, but any team can be deemed a weaker team, but still push you to 7 games.

it's not about "handling" anyone, it's about getting beat up through early rounds and not having enough to win a cup

if there's a path to the top of a mountain, you gonna take the smooth paved road or a road littered with boulders and obstacles?..

:fuckyea:


yea if we still had Malhotra I would have alot more confident going in to this series

Obviously anything can happen in the playoffs but on paper and theoretically speaking, chicago has a stronger team compared to dallas

chicago: toews, kane, sharp, keith, seabrook, hossa
dallas: richards, eriksson, morrow/ribiero (if they even show up)

chicago has a strong 1st line and 1st pairing d
dallas has 2/3 of a good 1st line and no d or goaltending

i could care less which team we play because we've been great all season long but would i have preferred to play a weaker dallas team as opposed to chicago? fuck yeah.

Saying it multiple times doesn't make it any less stupid.

k fine... :fullofwin:

...and they only cost 15 cents :troll:

I'll say it: he's wrong.

Flight distance, Chicago is about 100 miles closer to us than Dallas. Time-wise, both are about a four-hour flight. With jetstreams, they might save a half-hour going to Chicago, and lose it again coming back... overall they average out the same.

thats like saying if we dont beat any team we dont deserve the cup
:facepalm:

I don't think the hawks have a psych edge anymore since byfuckenugly is gone
