stev0 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2007 I'd like to see San Jose win... I don't like Nashville for some reason. Maybe I'm biased, being a Calgary fan. We have problems with Nashville. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Salviaman 104 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 Looks like it is going to be the Sharks!!!! Sharks in 5 still. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Must Kill 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 well i still want to get past the flamers first, then i say bring on the sharks since it looks like there gonna knock of the preds. But im hoping the preds can stretch it to 7 games Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zion 93 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 I also picked Sharks in 5. Detroit needs to get out of the first round. We shouldn't even be discussing this. Tonight's game is THE game. If we win, we can finish at home. If we lose, this is going to be a LONG series. That said, we Wings fans should want absolutely nothing to do with San Jose. I know I don't. I've watched SJ all year, and they (like Anaheim) are too big and fast and talented and YOUNG for the Wings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

superstarsingh 23 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 Firstly we need not look ahead. We have Calgary and they should be the only thing we think about. But I would rather play the Preds. We could honestly sweep them, the Sharks make me uneasy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueMonk 102 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 Is everyone confident the Wings are going to advance past this round? I'm not. But if they get to round 2, I'd rather they play Nashville. Why? Because San Jose is freaking scary, as we're seeing in this Nashville series. Remember, going into this series, people were questioning the Sharks? Granted, a lot of those people were Nashville homers, but still. I heard things about how the Preds had a 3-1 season series edge. Well, as you're seeing, that's not a reliable predictor of playoff success. The Sharks have big, strong forwards who have great hands. They've got very good goaltending. It's just a balanced team. When their top line is out there, it's almost impossible to stop. The Predators look like little kids riding the Sharks piggy back trying to slow them down. San Jose is a very difficult team to face. The Preds tried to take the series in the alley, and it helped them win a game. But the Sharks have smartened up and they're leaving that stuff alone now, just playing hockey. I'd love to see Nashville come back. With 2 of 3 at home, it's possible. Teams in this position, down 3-1 but with home ice advantage, have done it many times. The Preds would be a tough opponent for the Wings, too. But the Sharks? Terrifying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeeSpot82 10 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 Going into the playoffs, I was hoping every Western Conference series would go to 7 games (except the Wings of course, because my little heart couldn't handle that kind of pressure). I figured the Sharks/Preds series would be the best series in all of the first round matchups, but knew the Sharks were the better team, and the team I'd rather avoid, so I'm kind of pulling for the Predators. For the Predators to win, the series HAS to go to 7... a plus on both accounts. The Wings need to get past the Flames, and the second round will be tough as hell either way...

azshark 1 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) The Wings need to get past the Flames, and the second round will be tough as hell either way... Sharks fan here... The way SJ is playing is surprising. They are getting efforts from guys like Mike Grier, Joe Pavelski and Ryan Clowe. The top line has really just seen goal production from Michalek. Of course, Nabby is awesome. I keep thinking that Thornton, Cheechoo, Marleau and Guerin are going to ignite any day and that has NOT happened yet. If these four guys don't catch-up to the efforts of Grier's, the Sharks won't go as deep as I'd hope. No overlooking the Predators. This series is not over for SJ... The second round is going to be brutal! Edited April 19, 2007 by azshark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livediehockey80 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 Looking ahead to Round 2 is pretty stupid since we have to battle Calgary for two more wins. The series is only 2-1 for Detroit and anything can happen. Nashville and San Jose are in a far, far away galaxy at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
