I like our chances against either Detroit of Calgary. Let SJS, Dallas, Minnie and Anaheim punt the hell out of each other.
I think we play Detroit very well and as good as they are all year I suspect they might not have anything left if a heavy forecheck should be taken to them. I think we have the speed to do the trick and obviously the goaltending.
Calgary has the exact same record as we do today, however when you look at our GA vs theirs...they have 20 more and only one more goal for.
Van GF 193 GA 184
Cal GF 205 GA 204
for all this talk of Vancouver having no scoring we can at least play D. D wins cups and those who can't play in their own end are usually out first. Kipper's gonna have to turn it on to prove me wrong in this instance.
My gut tells me we're seeing one of these two teams. And again, I like our chances Vs both. With Detroit, the Twins always seem to play well. Can they carry on with an aging D line AND goalie? Perhaps but after likely winning the Presidents trophy I would not be at all surprised if they bowed out first. If they clear the first round, look out.
