not a troll

I meant this time, unlike ever before, I like our chances.

You dont hit the wings out of a series, you shut down their offence and knock down passes/block shots. We do have guys who can do this in Mitchell, Johnson,Salo,Kesler so I dont think its Bieksa running around that will be a difference as much as team defence and the goalie standing on his head. I like our chances for the first time ever against the wings.

Hello Detroit fans! Canucks fan here and I am not here to trash talk, just join in with what I expect to be our next opponents discussions. I'm not sure the Ducks are going to win that series just yet but I hope so. The sharks have sucked balls every post season but they have Boyle and Blake now. We'll see but I kinda want the Wings in round 2 cause that series will be awesome. VCR and DET split the season series with both teams winning on the road. Vancouver last played DET Dec 4 and it was a 6-5 loss in DET. All games were 1 goal games with each team taking turns with momentum so it looks to be a good series. I'm not sure if I really like the thought of going against you guys but we here want a cup bad and every western conf winner must go through DET so might as well get it over with early while our legs are fresh. Vancouver has had a transformation since you last saw them play and have been a much more consistent defensive team since around Feb 1. They have depth throughout the 4 lines and a solid 6 d-men with no superstars. They have Luongo who is becoming a game breaker this year much like the Hasek of the late '90s. Detroit is the powerhouse. We have been watching your team win cups for what seems like eternity and you guys are the benchmark for a winning franchise league wide. I think this year we in Vancouver may have a good enough team to challenge you guys and possibly even win a series. With the emergence of gritty players like Burrows and Kesler, our forward lines have an element we havent seen out west since the early '90s, heart. So heres hoping for a good series between us and dont be suprised if SJ upsets the Ducks in 7!!! Sounds funny to be an underdog after earning 117 points but when you suck in the playoffs like Joe Thornton and co. then you dont get no love!
