I did a search for this topic and found last year's; the thread was started by yours truly, so I thought I'd turn this into a tradition and start the hockey playoffs thread again!
I did something last night I don't normally do - I watched an NHL game that didn't involve the Canucks - I watched the Battle of Alberta and was totally cheering for the Flames, because as everyone in Vancouver knew, if the Flames could knock of the Oilers, the Nucks were in - and that's exactly what they did.
Ofcourse if you didn't know the playoffs hadn't started yet, if you've been in Vancouver this past week, you might of thought otherwise - yes Canuck fever has gripped this town and province -Canucks merchandise sales are way up - seasons tickets for next year are already being sold and you can't find anything with #44 on it...
With all that said - I hope Calgary looses tonight so we move back into 7th, but really who cares, bring on the RedWings, bring on the Avs - the Canucks are ready for anything and anyone.
My predictions for a Stanley Cup winner, can't really tell yet, obviously I want the Nucks to win it (which was a laughable thought before Christmas), but I am positive it will be someone from the Western Conference, and I hope the cup comes back home to Canada.
The playoff final I would love to see: Canucks vs. Maple Leafs: civil war on ice...
Oh yeah, just for the record - I have never fallen off the Canucks bandwagon - I've fallen out a few times and have been hanging on the edge (especially from 96-01), but I boarded that thing 11 years ago, and I don't plan on getting off anytime soon.
Towel Power!!
