Strange, couldn't find a thread for this one. So I started one in as similar format as I could. Flames in 7.

I think the Flames are too fast and big for the Canucks. Goaltending wil be a questionmark for both teams will Ramo be healthy, can Miller regain his pre-injury form ?

My gut says Flames in 6.

Flames in 5.

Go Hudler!

Another match up in excited about but don't know much of either team. I'm thinking Nucks in 7.

Calgary is one of the smaller teams in the playoffs...

I agree they'll probably do well, but that will be despite their size.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Flames win on a Russell goal with 29 seconds left.

[RedWingsRox 614]

Helluva way to lose.

Vancouver gonna riot again?

I'm staying indoors just in case.

First goal by the Flames shouldn't have counted?

Nothing like controversy to start the NHL playoffs.David Jones goal should have been blown down for high stick http://fw.to/kq2U2mM#TSN

That seems like a bit of a stretch. The high stick was well before the goal happened, not even part of the play.

I'm looking forward to this one tonight. Going to be watching it with a bunch of drunk,rowdy Canuck fans. Things will get ugly if Canucks lose lol.

Need some backup ... ?

[kipwinger 8,754]

Rowdy Canadians? Lol. Is George St. Pierre going to be there? If not, I wouldn't worry.

Naw most of them like the Wings and Datsyuk in general.

Haha Canadians can get quite rowdy when their hockey team loses...

[mvanpop 98]

Yeah I get half intense while the other half waits for the football season to start

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Lack is starting Game 2, why are they sitting Miller?

I'll try to find the article for you, but it basically said that Ryan hadn't played enough to be in playoff form after his knee injury.

Or maybe he's still not ready from his knee Injury, idk what's up I read two different things.

I hate the Nucks, but it is so hard to dislike and root against Eddie Lack...

[55fan 5,133]

Let's go Hudler!

It kills me that hes so good now. Who knew? I guess growing up and being a responsible adult suits him well.

I get the feeling he would have never become a 70 point player here, and he definitely wouldn't have gotten the leadership role he's in with calgary, but its still cool to see how our cast offs go and can be impact players elsewhere.

[BottleOfSmoke 5,965]

Is it true?! Did Eddie Lack engage in *whispers* FISTICUFFS?!?!?!
