I'm really not trying to be a homer here but its ridiculous that you have Van ranked above Chi. A team that has a core that have all won a cup together over Van?

Let's break this down line by line

Sedin/Sedin/Burrows vs the P.Sharp D.Bolland P.Kane line? I don't think so. We all know how much the Sedin's love to play against Dave Bolland

Higgins/Kesler/Hansen vs the B.Saad J.Toews M.Hossa line? Kesler is a great player, and he plays good against Toews, so they cancel each other out. That leaves Brandon Saad and Marian Hossa against Higgins and Hansen? riiiiiiight.

Kassian/Roy/Raymond vs Bickell Handzus Stalberg,
Weise/Lapierre/Pinizzotto vs Carcillo/Bollig Kruger Frolik

Bottom two lines kind of match up pretty decently.

And about the Hawks looking beatable lately, the Hawks have one four out of their last five and have points in their last five straight, and have given up five goals against in those five games. Pretty beatable, right?

Welcome to 2013 . The Sedins could care less about Bolland anymore. If he did go out to instigate against them ,AV would put Kasian on the Sedin line and Bolland would have to answer the bell for once in his friggen life.

And VERY simply missing them is what the Oilers do best! I know which option I'd prefer!

"VANCOUVER- 4/1- when healthy and at their best they can beat anyone

what the poop are you guys doing to the page?

Well we haven,t seen too much of a lack of goaltending so far this season. But as we all know it just takes a hot goalie come playoff time to win a series or two. The Hawks will more than likely go further than the Canucks though because the Nucks will have a much tougher first round , if they play the Blues or Wild they won,t beat either team in a 7 gamer, unless their goalie stands on his head.
- HawkfaninBC

Wow. You really think that the only way that they can beat the Blues or Wild is if a goalie steals the series? I know that Ian is a huge homer, but most of the guys on the site are pretty realistic when it comes to expectations, and I'd take the Canucks over the Wild unless Backstrom stands on his head. The Blues would be a tough matchup for the Canucks, but that could go either way in a 6 or 7 game series.

People don't realize that this team is pretty similar to the one that went to the cup.

Gone: Torres, Ehrhoff, Samuelsson

Added: Garrison, Roy, Kassian

Didn't include 4th line and depth defensemen changes, and Malhotra since he missed a big part of that run. Hodgson was also used sparingly as a 4th liner or healthy scratch during that run.

You say that as if there's something wrong with living in the new now. I guess as an Oilers fan there is. Keep clinging to the past and trying to convince yourself that Hall, Nuge and Eberle are the second coming of Messier, Gretzky and Kurri.

Cooler than the other side of the pillow?

If Van doesn't win, I just hope the playoffs isn't dominated by sh!tty defensive hockey like it was last season. I literally tuned out to watch the World Championships instead.

It's Nuge. He gets pleasure from messing up page formats in online forums. Speaks to how full and rich his life is.
