wingslionstigers 12 Report post Posted April 22, 2009 Either going to be the Ducks, Calgary, or Chicago. Who would you guys rather see next? I think the Ducks are the toughest of the three. I think Chicago would be our easiest game. Although i would love to see Detroit/Chicago in the semi-finals. Calgary looks pretty tough too i thought they were going to rip Chicago up, still not over yet though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RusDRW 155 Report post Posted April 22, 2009 we have to finish CBJ first. This is the play-offs hockey and there is always a chance that the next opponent will be Tiger Woods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lets go pavel 2 Report post Posted April 22, 2009 If San Jose wins, then don't we get Vancouver? Chicago and Calgary are not options for the next round. Yes ... if SJ wins, they get the lowest seed, which would be Chicago or Calgary. We would play Vancouver. If Anaheim wins, we're the highest seed left and would play the lowest, which would be Anaheim. Vancouver would play Chicago or Calgary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WingsCaptain 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2009 If San Jose wins, then don't we get Vancouver? Chicago and Calgary are not options for the next round. Only options are Anaheim or Vancouver, Ducks or Canucks. If San Jose (#1) comes back, then they play whoever wins the Chicago / Calgary series, since the #6, #7, and #8 teams will have been eliminated, and we get Vancouver (#2 vs #3). If the Ducks win, we get them (#2 vs #8). The Canucks breezed past the Blues, so give me the Ducks -- and here's to a 7-game series between the Sharks and the Ducks where they beat the hell out of each other. - Z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingslionstigers 12 Report post Posted April 22, 2009 My bad i overlooked that big time hahah. You guys are right because if the Sharks were to win they play the winner of Chi and Calgary. If the Ducks win we obviously play them. So yeah its down to Anaheim or Vancouver. Sorry bout that wasn't thinking right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Anaheim wins, we're the highest seed left and would play the lowest, which would be Anaheim. Vancouver would play Chicago or Calgary. Good. This is what I thought... If and when we finish and win with Columbus, I'm not as worried as I was about playing Anaheim. So far, the Sharks have not come close to finishing on power plays. So I'm hoping if it comes down to it, the Wings can figure out Hiller just like they seem to have done with Mason. Yeah, I know that Columbus itself is responsible for some of our goals, but still... I have a question about the Ducks. How many good lines do they have? I can't believe they have the depth the Wings do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still, I hope the Wings close out this series quickly so they get a week of downtime to rest up. - Z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vladifan 680 Report post Posted April 22, 2009 Loungo is terrifying, I'd rather get revenge on the Ducks. Given ones' basic druthers, I'd say I'd much rather see the Wings play the Ducks.

I can't believe they have the depth the Wings do. The Getzlaf-Perry-Ryan line is the one to worry about. After that, the Selanne-and-whoever else line. They're not as deep as the Wings, IMHO. But they are big, physical, and they have good d-men. - Z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winger19 4 Report post Posted April 22, 2009 Honestly I would love to see the Wings play the Canucks. As much as I hate the bandwagon fans in vancouver I loved beating them in 2002 and hearing all the ankles break in Vancouver, would love to see it again. That and I would get free tickets.

OsGOD 3 Report post Posted April 22, 2009 I fully believe our next opponent will be the lower seed of the 3 others that advance to the next round.

I couldn't fathom the meltdown that would have to ensue in reality, it has happened before, if you think CBJ is done and are just gonna lie down for game 4 then they should just forfeit today so our fans won't even have to make the drive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chunkylover 26 Report post Posted April 22, 2009 I think the Wings will most likely face Anaheim next. That will be a tough series but I think the Wings can win that in no more than six game without ever trailing. The Wings didn't lose to the Ducks in '07 because they were more physical than us, they lost because they didn't put forth a full sixty minute effort in game five or six. Vancouver will be another tough series, although they are somewhat beat up. Luongo and the Canucks defense corps will be hard to score against. They have some very fast, talented depth players. Probably the most balanced teams beside the Wings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
