Playoffs Round 1 - Vancouver/Chicago - Series Discussion Thread

Umm

If Chicago wins tonight would they not hit Detroit in round 2?

Nope. If Van wins than it is VAN-NSH, SJ-DET, and if Chicago wins its SJ-CHI, DET-NSH courtesy of tsn

Indians are not from India. The Indian "Blackhawk" represents Native Indians, not the Indian people.

Wait, I thought Native Indians were from India? The Blackhawk logo represents Native Americans.

Anyway, I voted for the Blackhawks.

Blaming Luongo and the Sedins for game 4 and 5 either means you did not watch the game or do not realize that is was a team lost. Not one players in either of those games looked like they cared or wanted to win. Also I believe your crystal ball is very flawed. The beauty about playoffs hockey is it is unpredictable. Some players take more time to become successful in the important games (a more recent example would be Pavel Datsyuk). Also the past 2 seasons that the Canucks have lost to the Hawks, they infact lost to the better team (looking at regular season stats). If the Canucks lose this year in game 7 then you can call it choking as the Canucks had a better regular season team. So basing your predictions and assumptions over a hate for a certain team (vancouver) really just shows you either are looking for a reaction from its fans or you truly believe this.

no here me loud and clear canucks are never gonna win the cup with the sedins as their main players bro lol . mark my words. you must be hallucinating because i never once said i blamed the 3 of them solely for the loses of game 4 and 5 smart guy.

and you must not realize that regular season stats dont matter in the playoffs, genius

yeah, gotta go with Chicago on this one.

We were talking about it @ work today.... my call: 6-3.

4-0 after the first. Canucks get to 4-1 before falling to 6-1. Luongo gets pulled (again!) and they make it a little bit closer (while totally outplaying Chicago for the last half of the game).

I voted for Chicago. I think the BlackHawks are completely in the heads of the Canucks. Luongo has always been overrated and will continue to fail in big moments. I would be very surprised if the Canucks won, even at home being the 1 seed at this point.

agreed, but i wouldnt be surprised if canucks squeak one out

How many people are going to riot if vancouver loses?
I just hope Vancouver wins (because I am from Vancouver)
I think if Chicago wins I am going to lock my windows and doors.
