I have no clue who is going to take the Cup this year, I could make a case for any team (except PIT lol).

Having said that, I closed my eyes, threw a dart, and will call ANA as the 14-15 Champs.

I think this might be the upset series though

Bruce Boudreau's teams have issues with physical teams and Winnipeg will throw the body all series on Anaheim - the Ducks defense might have trouble with that, although I think with a few of the moves that were made at the deadline, they brought in guys like Wiz and Despres who can play physical

Goaltending will be key for both teams in this series

they brought in guys like Wiz who can play physical and Despres who is a dirty headhunter.

fixed for accuracy.

/Despres ended Smid's season and quite possibly his career. Of course, no supplementary discipline.

Despres vs. Big Buff - the battle of the head hunters

Jets in 6

Ducks in 5, but then again my opinion is bias.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

I hope Bruce picks a goalie & sticks with him. Musical goalies like last year won't work. Oh & Getzlaf needs to take this series over. After all he's going to be the best player on the ice in every game.

Wiz is a healthy scratch tonight

Wiz is a healthy scratch tonight

He'll be back in next game after Stoner gets undressed one too many times or Despres has a suspendable hit. I can actually see both happening.

Wiz is not A-very happy about being scratched...

how about a Bieksa for Wiz playoff trade ... Bieksa will keep Kesler in line off the ice by engaging him in ... STOP RIGHT THERE POONERMAN!!!

Was thinking of taking the wife to a Jets Ducks game on Saturday. However after checking Stubhub and seeing tickets are selling for 50.00
Jets fans take notice. Buying tickets/airfare and hotel for Anaheim is cheaper than buying tickets at home

 

[esls79]

This game is kind of a snoozer as far as playoff hockey goes

 

[sherbert1421]

anyone else find it kind of amateurish that NBC doesn't have their own crew for each of these playoff series

Thoughts that last year as well. Maybe I would have been ok with it if they used my teams guys

Corey Perry with a couple 3rd period goals
