OK I think I have this figured out.
Canucks will play Blackhawks if both Blackhawks and Stars lose tomorrow.
Canucks will play Stars if Chicago loses and Dallas wins.
Canucks will play Kings if Chicago wins
Canucks will play Kings if Chicago loses in OT

Can someone confirm this? If so, today is the only day I cheer for Chicago, unless it goes into OT of course.

LA is our ideal series IMO, they're down their top offensive players and its an easy flight.

yes that is correct. I just double checked and thats the way it works. The thing Im happy about is the ducks are in 4th so if we do have to face them it may be a later round.


and Detroit is winning 2-1 halfway through the 2nd right now.

Who would the Stars play if they win and Chi loses? Dallas might throw the game just so they don't have to play Van in the first round.

Edit:
Actually, if they lose how would they end up in better position than 8th? Would they be out?

If Chicago gets 0 pts, and Dallas wins in regulation or OT (not in SO)
we play Dallas (chicago's out of playoffs)

If Chicago loses, and Dallas loses (or wins in SO), we play Chicago.

If Dallas wins today they will be tied for 97 point with Chicago...

Shootout wins don't count in the tie-breaker, only regulation and OT win.

They'll be tied with 38 regulation/OT wins but Dallas won the season series, so they would get the 8th seed if they win.

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER -- When Vancouver Canuck fans talk about the team's history two of the highlights are losing in Game 7 of the 1994 Stanley Cup final and former coach Roger Neilson waving a white towel on a hockey stick to protest the officiating during a 1982 playoff game.

Defeat and surrender.

This year the Canucks have a chance to write a new chapter in team lore. The Canucks enter the NHL playoffs coming off the best regular season in the franchise's 40-year history. They are legitimate contenders to be the first Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup since the 1993 Montreal Canadiens.

The expectations are huge in a city that has wrapped itself in Canuck colours. Years of disappointment and heartbreak can be erased if the Stanley Cup comes to Vancouver. Instead of feeling the pressure, the players have embraced the excitement.

"It's just going to be fun," said Daniel Sedin, the NHL's scoring champion. "It's the best part of the year and we've got a great group.

"We're having a lot of fun together. We're looking forward to a great run. We've got to realize that we don't need to do anything extra. It's about coming to the rink and working hard and playing the right way."

Centre Ryan Kesler has lived through some of the Canuck lean years. He feels anticipation, not apprehension, in the Vancouver dressing room.

"We know this group is excited," said Kesler. "We're ready for the challenge."

Vancouver overcame a two-goal deficit Saturday night to defeat the Calgary Flames 3-2 in overtime in the final game of the regular season. For the first time in franchise history the Canucks have won the Presidents' Trophy for being the top team in the league with a record of 54-19-9 for 117 points.

Vancouver also set franchise records for wins, points and road victories (27). The Canucks scored 262 goals, more than any team in the league. The 185 goals allowed is the least in the league, meaning goaltender Roberto Luongo and backup Cory Schneider will receive the Jennings Trophy.

Daniel Sedin had two assists in the win over Calgary, securing the Art Ross Trophy with 41 goals and 63 assists for 104 points. He will be one of the players considered for the Hart Trophy as the league's most valuable player.

Twin brother Henrik won the scoring title last year with 112 points and was named league MVP. It's the first time brothers have won back-to-back scoring titles.

The Canucks have a 41-goal scorer in Kesler. Henrik Sedin leads the league with 75 assists while forward Alex Burrows has 26 goals in 72 games.

Vancouver has two lines that can score goals, a solid defence and one of the best goaltenders in the league in Luongo. The Canucks have the league's best power play and one of the best penalty-killing units.

The team has veteran experience and a former Stanley Cup winner in Mikael Samuelsson.

"We've been together for five years, the core group and myself," said coach Alain Vigneault. "We've all grown together and with one another. I think everybody's improved during that time.

"We really feel that we're ready for this moment. We tried to play well, play the right way, play hard during the regular season."

The Canucks even have history on their side.

Montreal hosted the 1976 Summer Olympics. The Canadiens finished the 1976-77 season with the best overall record (60 wins, eight losses, 12 ties for 132 points) and went on to win the Stanley Cup.

The 1988 Winter Olympics were in Calgary. The Flames won the Presidents' Trophy in 1988-89 with a 54-17-9 record for 117 points, then won the team's only Stanley Cup.

Vancouver hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics. Now the Canucks have won the Presidents' Trophy.

For the playoffs, the Canucks will be without centre Manny Malhotra who has undergone two surgeries after being hit in the left eye by a puck on March 16. Malhotra has been a key defensive player, taking most of the important faceoffs and leading the penalty kill.

Forward Raffi Torres will also miss the first two games of the playoffs as he finishes a four-game suspension for a hit to the head of Edmonton Oilers rookie Jordan Eberle.

Dealing with injuries is nothing new for Vancouver. The team lost defencemen Alex Edler, Kevin Bieksa, Sami Salo and Dan Hamhuis, plus Burrows for long stretches this season.

Considering all the Canucks have accomplished this year, the team has stayed very grounded. They understand the most important games lay ahead.

Since the Presidents' Trophy was introduced in the 1985-86 season, only seven of the 28 teams that have won the award went on to hoist the Stanley Cup. Another two lost in the Cup finals.

The 2008 Detroit Red Wings were the last team to claim both trophies.

"For us really not much is going to change," said Vigneault. "Our expectations going into this season were very high.

"We took it one game at a time. We focused on our game and our play. That's what we're going to do come the playoffs. We're going to take it a game at a time and that's not going to change."

Hawks only create storylines. Dallas would create the Story that we kicked their candy asses in the regular season and once again do it in the post season

BUT...

The Canucks are the top team in teh league. Teams should be shitting their pants playing us. This years President Trophy team in the NHL is special because of the PURE DOMINATION in the stat columns compared to the other teams.

Storylines sell ratings. Sells the product. I only care for the result
call me stubborn on this one.

*edit* Charl Schwartzel wins the Masters...That name is funny, the headlines will be great haha

[LUUUUUUUU]

just imagine the confidence/momentum they'll carry into the next rounds if the canucks beat the defending stanley cup champs who eliminated them two years in a row

[d1]

If we play the hawks and smash them, then it's all good. Lose again and they'll be calling us their bitch until they retire. I'd take the safer route and go with Dallas.

[Gh0stRider]

Nucks vs Stars would be boring i think. Nucks vs Hawks is what i want

[murd0c]

all I know is I can't wait until Thursday.

[DanHibiki]

I can't decide who I want, Stars or Hawks.

I want Stars to win so we can "seemingly" have a easier round 1.

But at the same time I really wanna get over the hump that is the Hawks and it'll be BEYOND satisfying to finally beat them.

BUT, I don't want to Hawk's because if we lose to them FOR THE 3RD STRAIGHT YEAR, I will feel shame and embarrassment and be annoyed to hear everyone talking bout how the Canucks can't beat the Hawks for an entire year.

Sooo Stars...safe route. Hawks....high risk high reward.

Hmmm...

[LUUUUUUUU]

If we play the hawks and smash them, then it's all good. Lose again and they'll be calling us their bitch until they retire. I'd take the safer route and go with Dallas.

If it's a safer route that they have to take just to avoid the chance of losing to the hawks again... i don't think the canucks even deserve the cup if they can't beat a completely different hawks team

Yes, have to put feelings aside. Dallas is a better option, less travel...

Er, Dallas and Chicago are both a ~4hr. flight... pretty much the same distance from Vancouver (Chicago is actually 100 miles closer, by air).

[punkwax]

If it's a safer route that they have to take just to avoid the chance of losing to the hawks again... i don't think the canucks even deserve the cup if they can't beat a completely different hawks team

So if we win the cup and don't play Chicago you'll put an asterisk beside it?

People have to stop saying "if we don't beat ____ we don't deserve the cup". If we lose to anyone, we won't win it, so its a pretty stupid statement.

I'm watching the wild feed and they aren't even calling the game. They're just interviewing some guy? Lol it's retarded. It's like they don't even care about the game

Cheering for Dallas to lose this one... I like hearing Chelsea's dagger, kinda catchy. J/k
I don't care who it is in the first round, just glad its not Anaheim or Preds... I hate those guys

[DanHibiki]

If it's a safer route that they have to take just to avoid the chance of losing to the hawks again... i don't think the canucks even deserve the cup if they can't beat a completely different hawks team

Any team that wins the cup DESERVES the cup. No matter what route taken, easy or hard.

It's the motherfucking Stanley Cup for Christ's sake. I think some of us have forgotten how rare it is to get to it, let alone win it.

"It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning."

Also, no one, especially players on the team cares how they win it. They could win the cup by a phantom call by a ref or the other team accidentally scoring on themselves.

Anyone that has been on any sports team thinks this way. I sure did. Playing on beer hockey leagues I didn't care how we won, as long as we won.

[spoon.ek9]

shit 2-2

[DsZ24]

damn all tied up

[murd0c]

damm 2-2

[RRxtar]

Come onnnnnnn Dallas!

[LUUUUUUUU]

So if we win the cup and don't play Chicago you'll put an asterisk beside it?

People have to stop saying "if we don't beat ____ we don't deserve the cup". If we lose to anyone, we won't win it, so its a pretty stupid statement.

:rolleyes: it's not that they have to beat certain teams or they don't deserve the cup... any hockey fans would love to see a more intense series between rivals rather than the "safer" route to win the cup

for me it doesn't matter who we face, I think the canucks has a chance to crush them all regardless of if it's dallas (who the canucks owned in the regular season) or the hawks (defending champs who eliminated canucks 2 yrs in a row).. i just think they would be more pumped up if they do end up facing the hawks 1st round. this would be better for the whole team mentally as well in the later rounds


oh anybody got the white towel waving smiley?

playing chicago though I also see a much higher likelihood of a long, brutal series, more chances of injuries and the team getting burnt out for later rounds.

Fucking dallas is useless if they can't even beat Minny with their playoffs on the line

[RRxtar]

I would rather see a healthy Canucks team win a couple boring series on their way to playing an intense series against Boston/Philly/etc for the cup, than a Canucks team getting beat up and losing guys to injuries playing an intense series in the first round against Chicago.

I dont give a fuck how entertaining a series against whoever would be in the first round. I want a healthy Canucks team making it to the cup final. and IMO, Dallas is the easiest first round we could ever hope for.

I said it once and I'll say it again, if we can't beat the Hawks we don't deserve the cup. I don't know what difference it makes if we play DAL or CHI. Sure we dominated them in the regular season, but playoffs is completely different hockey.

the difference it makes, is that assuming we DO win the first round, the team is likely to be considerably more banged up after a long(er) series with the hawks, thus making advancing further all the more difficult. Every extra game you play in the first round, especially considering the intensity of playoff hockey, is significant when you're playing well into June.

[Spidey]

vey true.. it shouldn't matter who we face.. and chicago isn't exactly playing great hockey.. it is more psychological than anything....

the stars remind me of the year when the canucks just had to win their last 2 games to make it in, and they lost to edm in the last game of the year in a lacklustre affair.

It's gonna be a big battle regardless of who isn't on the Hawks team this yr. It's the freaking playoffs dammit. Everyone plays a bit harder and the gaps that were there during the season are closed.

It'll be an amazing first round. I'm hoping for Canucks to pull through but I think it'll take at least 6

Who says the series against the hawks will be longer than a series against the stars? the hawks have shitty ass goaltending and their team from last year is broken apart.

Look at the Flyers from last post season. They went to 3 game 7's and they managed to push the Hawks to a game 6. Sure they might have been banged up, but it's the playoffs and this is what they play for so they have the drive to keep going.

Linden playing with a broken foot in 94? How many triple ot's and game 7's did we go through during that cup run? IMO it's better to not have such long breaks between series.

It's a high risk, low reward series. If we win, it's cool we took out the hawks but the reward is just the 2nd round. If we lose... fuck, don't even want to think about it.

:fullofwin:

Hawks still have Toews, Kane, Hossa, Sharp, Keith, and Seabrook, and possibly a psychological edge over Luongo. Dallas has Morrow, Richards, Eriksson, and......Ribeiro? Its not even close IMO. Look at our games vs them this year and how tight all the Chicago games were, while the Dallas games were all basically borderline blowouts.

[AzNightmare]

Seriously, Crawford better not suddenly become the next superstar goalie.

[dbaz]

and possibly a psychological edge over Luongo.
