Detroit got pretty banged up, in a way that would be a nice opponent.
But the Sharks nice. They are maybe the only team in the west, thats had the bad luck, early playoff exits........chokes!
More than the Canucks. I am calling it now. A FIRST timer will hold the cup this year.

The Sharks boast 8 top 6 forwards in their lineup although their defense is a little thin IMO. Niemi is so bloody inconsistent, too. However, Niemi has one thing Luongo does not and that's a Cup ring. With the Sedin's non-existent so far, it will be tough for Kesler to continue to carry the offensive load and check either Joe Thornton or Ryan Clowe's lines. The Canucks will also have a tough time dealing with the physicality of the Sharks forwards.
I expressed a theory regarding the Sharks today. I think that they almost looked past the Kings and Red Wings because this is the match up they wanted because they need to prove to themselves how good they actually are. I think the Sharks are ready for the Canucks and a short series turnaround won't bother them. I don't know who will win this series yet but it should go at least 6 games.

My predications are the nucks will have a hard fought 7 game series win over the sharks. Then get slaughtered by tampa
The San Francisco Giants made history in the MLB last year. The Vancouver Canucks will make history in the NHL on Vancouver's 125th Birthday.
Go Canucks!!!!
Go Canucks!!!!
if they play like they played nashville with half the lineup asleep they will be swept by the sharks in 4. keep in mind kesler will be shadowing thornton so his offence will probably go back to like it was against the hawks when he shadowed toews. someone else will have to score. something tells me our europeans won't be upto the task of standing up to a hard nosed canadian filled team. in other words, the sedins, edler, ehrhoff will fold to the likes of heatley, thornton, marleau, couture, setigucci, and of course the man looking for revenge kyle wellwood.
I dont know if the twins will show and good point you made. I think Kesler will be shadowed throughout this series and the twins wont do much.
I'm expecting the Sedins to step it up, they had Sharks number all year as well.
Keith, then Webber isn't the best matchup for them. Boyle is the big icetime guy in SJ. He really doesn't bring the same skillset. I agree Keslers numbers will fall off, he didn't need to focus on checking as much last series.
The Canucks need to hit the Sharks D any chance they get. Even make it a dirty series.
Canucks are better off with 6 power plays a game, with 6 kills, than 2 of each.

i heard one of the twins where injured and that's why they havent really stepped up. Not sure how accurate that is. If one of them is injured then all the sharks have to do is shutdown kes and burrows
Love it! Hoping to get to Game 5, 6 or 7. There is no sweeping in Round 3. Playing with the creme of the crop now. Getting down to the nitty, gritty.Orcas eat Sharks - despite the fact that Shark skin causes accelerated wear on their teeth - just saying
I will be behind Luongo flashing me boobies anytime the sharks even look at the puck. Once a red mile girl. Always a red mile girl.
Statitically, the Canucks have the advantage
Vancouver beat SJ 3 times, they're PP in the playoffs is 22% Sj is 13%, PK is 86% SJ is 83%, Luongo has a better save pct and better GAA than Niemi,
It might take 7 but I think we'll win, just hope my heart [or liver] doesn't pack it in along the way

those regular season stats,plus $2.50,gets you on the bus,this
is PLAYOFFS,baby,lol.
as has been stated,Sedins have to step up&Luongo
has to excel.
Imma cheer for the 'Nucks but I don't think
so, Imma bet on them.
Love it! Go Giants!!! And Go Canucks! (and Bieksa.....yum)
My thoughts, exactly! It's been exciting thus far, and can only get moreso,.The San Francisco Giants made history in the MLB last year. The Vancouver Canucks will make history in the NHL on Vancouver's 125th Birthday.
Go Canucks!!!!
