Who do you want to face for the Cup?

Post by Cornuck »

With luck, the Bruins and Bolts will go to 7.

Also, if anyone finds the schedule, please post it.

PS: Who's happy we have home for all 4 series? :D

Tampa. Not entirely sure why, but my perception is that we may have trouble with the size/style of the Bruins. On the other hand, we just eliminated San Jose who are pretty big and physical themselves... :eh:

Tampa's scoring is a little worrisome. I think it would make for a better series, but I'd rather face Boston.

Tampa would have a LOT of travel, which could benefit a team that is used to traveling. But in the end, I'd like to see us take on an Original Six team.

Either way, I like our chances. I don't really care - I just want the East to go to 7 games. :D

Boston just because of the northeast connection, Islanders, Rangers and finally Bruins who fits most in the degree of width.

I don't care any less. Both have their pros and cons. I just want a 5 game series with the Canucks being the victors.

Well, way to go Bolts! We got our game seven.

What I don't like is that the NHL in its infinite wisdom starts the series 5 DAYS after the Eastern Conference game 7. What the hell? They gave the Canucks 2 days between Chicago and Nashville. Is this actually all for CBC to get game 2 on Saturday?

There was a release from NBC, and then taken down, now this one is the official one from NHL.com
