Helps Canucks out. They don't want Sharks too rested; not to get too ahead of ourselves.

With the Wings coming back like that, I wouldn't be shocked if the Sharks tanked it. If Detroit makes it past the Sharks, then the Canucks are going to have a lot of work ahead of them in round three.

Tampa is on a bit of a tear. I guess not having fans analyze every aspect of your game allows you to relax and play better hockey. I think that series will depend mostly on whether Thomas can keep it up between the pipes or not.

Seems like while Vancouver has figured out Pekka Rinne, Nashville has found their offensive side. Shots on goal in the 2nd period 7-2 in favour of Nashville. Vancouver will need to find their second wind and lay the hurt on the Preds if they want to go home with a solid win.

EDIT:

Vancouver goes to round 3 for the first time in nearly 2 decades! And I need a heart transplant. XD

CANUCKS WON!

My god! Third round! I never thought I'd live to see the day!!!

did anyone else hear this!?

Now its wait to see if they play the Sharks..or the Wings....

Wings force game 7!

The sports greatest playoff choke artists in a game 7 at home, after losing all the momentum.

Is anybody betting on the Sharks?

Meh, the said the same about the Canucks.

The Sharks will choke this round, Van will blow it next round.

I wouldn't bet on the Sharks with Ameros at this point. Detroit is too good. They've been too good for years. Every year it's the same thing, The Hockey News picks the Sharks, or Rangers (LOL), or Captain Caveman and the Caps or some other 'sexy' team with a bunch of stars every year and Detroit always shows up with the world's greatest senior rec team ever and crushes. They get to the Conference final almost every year. It's sick. But, if your team beats them in the playoffs, they generally go on to win the world's most awesome punch bowl....except Edmonton, because, well, it's Edmonton.

It's still a 3-0 comeback, usually only happens once every 50 years.

Well then it won't be happening this year then.... Philly did it last year on Boston.

Every prediction I've made has come up wrong. No wonder I couldn't make a living off of playing Over/Under on Proline. lol

I'm going to pick the Bs and Cannots in the final. Even though it is rotting my hockey soul, I'm going to have to go with Van (arrrrrghhhhhhh! Noooooooooooooooooo!) winning the cup. I've seen them blow it twice, but I reckon if they get to the final, they'll be OK...unless it's against Tampa.

Well since you're always wrong, Canucks are doomed.

Khornholio, as a Canucks fan, i really want/need you to retract your pick for the Stanley cup winner.. go with Tampa, or Boston, i dont really care which, just leave our Nucks alone!!!

Personally, It would be nice for a canadian team to win once in a while... just to keep things "honest".

Wait you're American, go cheer for someone from your own country, eh.

I'm from a spot on the States that is only a few hours away from B.C. and our climate is very much similar... and the Nucks are about the closest thing I have to a "hometown" hockey team.

Oregon actually, but to some people it might as well be the same thing (we in Oregon are better drivers than those from Washington)

Washington, Oregon, Michigan (Except for Detroit. They can stay the hell out ), Minnesota...

They're more Canadian than Canada. Why the hell don't you lot just seceed from the union and sign up already?

I mean sure, the US army would roll into said states to stop that from happening, but that's just a little road bump, right?

Washington, Oregon and BC form a region called Cascadia because of it's similar environment. Seattle definitely needs a hockey team.

Agreed. Seattle could score big bucks off of an NHL franchise. Frankly I'm suprised that Vancouver doesn't have a rival in Seattle. Well, not that suprised I guess. I mean, the NHL -is- run by a slowed, grubby little weasel that still thinks that keeping a failing team IN A DESERT, is a better idea than moving it back to Canada where it would earn back at least twice it's value in a year. At least he's been pressured enough that it's actually happening now, but it's still 16 years late.

I think if I were to sit down with a map and say "where are the worst 2 places in America to put NHL teams?" I think would come up with Glendale, Arizona and Sunrise, Florida. Oh well, what do I know.

I'm just teasing you mate, besides when it comes to hockey it only makes sense to cheer for the Canadian team (even if they-re the underdogs ), it's our sport after-all.

Pulling for the Sharks because I like Niemi and miss him as a Blackhawks fan.

Well, Detroit finally left. But too late, Datsuk can't do something on the WC. Wondering, why this play offs playing in the time of the WC, that's so *****ing...

Where do you think the Thrashers are going to show up next season? They're going to move I reckon as according to a few leaks from players and Buttman's response of "What are you talking about? Atlanta is doing fine." Seeing as it looks like the Jets are staying in Arizona, I'm wondering if the Thrashers are going to move to Winterpig. They couldn't be the "Jets". The Fighting Moose Knuckles sounds good. Of course, they might end up in Mexico City if the NHL continues following their logic of moving towards the Equator.
