In all fairness, I don't think this series is going to be all that fun to play or watch. The Wild are a tight checking, dangerous team. They proved it by beating the powerhouse known as the Colorado Avalanche. The Canucks won't be able to beat them with their offensive game. It's going to take a very gritty effort, perhaps even more so than how they played against the Blues (because the Blues were willing to open it up at least), so don't expect it to be over quickly. Every game is going to be *tight*. If Vancouver wins this in 5 or 6 games, it will be a very gutsy and gritty effort by the boys out West. I wouldn't be surprised if it goes 7 games, but I don't think it will. I have a feeling Vancouver have learned their lessons by now. Well, hopefully anyway. They sure like doing things the hard way.

What it really comes down to is this: The Wild will make you earn every win. So long as the Canucks earn them, they will get them. They have too much talent not to. I don't think the Avalanche earned the series, which is why they didn't win. They didn't pay the price. The Avalanche could have won if they put in *all* the effort necessary, going that extra mile as they say. The Canucks must learn from the Avs' mistake in order to win.

Lilly · 04-23-2003, 03:52 PM

that was a serious post.

and i agree 100%. these will be very tight games, i'm truly looking forward to them.

angel, did you call your canuck supporters when i told you i was going to sleep? CHEATER!

Michael Griffiths · 04-23-2003, 03:59 PM

Bwahaha! You took that post seriously? It was a parody of Nick Kyprios (an an ex player turned analyst). My real prediction: Canucks will sweep.

I'm joking. It will be a tough series, and I was being serious.

And Angel - yes, I'm excited!! I think the Canucks have a legitimate shot at winning the West this year. The Wild, Dallas or Anaheim would all be tough, but are all beatable in my opinion. If Anaheim beats Dallas, then I think they would be a huge force to be reckoned with. I would not want to be playing them! But I wouldn't want to be playing Vancouver either. When they have it together, they are scary. Just look at last night's game for what I mean.

MissVelvetDress_75 · 04-23-2003, 04:28 PM

oh you know i am still here to enjoy the banter. however since my chizip is gone, it won't be as much fun.

LarryMullen's POPAngel · 04-23-2003, 04:36 PM

I hope that Dallas rips Anaheim a new one. I may be biased, though.

I'm looking forward to second round hockey, even though my boys will be on the golf course.

Lilly · 04-23-2003, 04:52 PM

no doubt i want anaheim out.

wouldn't it be great if wild played the stars?

we could show texas JUST how much a grudge we're holding.

Angel · 04-23-2003, 05:01 PM

No. That would suck. Because it will be great to see Vancouver play the stars.

*Kicks Lilly out of thread.

I thought you were sleeping.

arw · 04-23-2003, 05:36 PM

I'm not much for hockey but I like to jump on the bandwagon when any Minnesota team does well.

So I say GO WILD!!!!!!!!!!

ok...that's the last you'll see of me in a hockey thread....

bye-bye

Lemon Meringue · 04-23-2003, 05:45 PM

Do you really want to know why the Wild are doing so well this year? Well, I'm gonna tell you anyway. It's because we had season tickets for the first 2 seasons and we don't have them this year.

I want credit!

I am very proud of our scrappy little team and I'm still in shock from the exciting win last night. Manny was fantastic in the net and hopefully he's on a roll.

Canucks are a good team and should win the series, but the Wild have something to prove. Don't take them for granted. Sometimes the team who wants it the most wins.
