Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks start scattering for summer, plus my playoff picks Now that the regular season is in the books, Vancouver Canucks players are off to their next adventures, whether that's heading home, on holiday, or to play more hockey.

Jets Kings Penguins TB Columbus Boston SJ and Nashville.
I too am not that confident with the way Tampa has played lately, but, think their experience will pay off in the end.

Tbay has been banged up and resting guys. I think kuch/Stamkos/Hedman are way too much for NJ to handle, even coming in cold. Hedman is going to merk Hall. I agree with a lot of your predictions Carol, great blog as usual.

Thanks Carol!

ANA/SJ - SJ 6
VEG/LA - LA 6
WIN/MIN - WIN 5
NAS/COL - NAS 5
TB/NJ - TB 5
BOS/TOR - BOS 6
CBJ/WAS - WAS 6
PIT/PHI - PIT 7

NJ is the most likely team to get swept without a doubt.

Thanks Carol

Toronto is the most likely team to get swept without a doubt.

I agree, can't see Mathews carrying his girlfriend deep into the playoffs.

The hate you have for Toronto should concern you. Go see a Doctor perhaps?

I'm sticking with

Nashville, Vegas, Minny, Anaheim, TB, Boston, Washington, Philadelphia

There's going to be a couple upsets in the first round and to me, Winnipeg and especially Pittsburg are prime candidates.

I don't mind the leabes odd of an upset either, much as I dislike them Andersen and Matthews gives them a chance in any series IMO.

I will be watching the comets and worlds, my team isnt in it so I don't watch until the finals.

I am not that interested either yet. I will follow the Comets now more but that can change.

It will be a fun summer of anticipation and letdown. I can't wait to see all the cup winning rosters that will be posted on here from now until October.

Don’t lie boys


Both of you will tune in the moment you hear that the Leafs are losing

Are they playing today? Seriously I don't even know if they start today or tomorrow , I couldn't care less and will be watching other things tonight.

Listened to Brady Tkachuk interview clip this morning

Man this kid is going to be hated as much as his brother around the league.

Better skater
Weaker hockey sense

This is a quote:

"Matthew won majority of battles growing up but I've gotten bigger and stronger now, so if I was on the Canucks he wouldn't want to go up against me now."

Said he is so excited to be involved in some NHL scrums like his brother.

Smart kid. He knows that’s exactly what Canuck fans want to hear. Everyone just moved him up there draft boards just because of these words.

I would take him any day. We need a big LW that can score 20-25

hope JB makes some trades, especially on defense. and as you say, I'm expecting to be let down.

One of the hardest parts with following the playoffs, is all the blue jays crap thrown at us. I'm not much of a baseball fan, a little here and there is okay, working in the yard with a game on the radio is nice, but there is too much of the blue jays when you tune into any tv sports channel.

often go from not caring to despising. (this might be for any Toronto team)

Thanks Carol, Go Winnipeg
