(5)Nashville Predators vs (4)Anaheim Ducks Series Thread

[UTVolCountry]

who's in net for the Ducks?

A Duck fan said Ellis (exPred), or Emery if he's healthy.

I'm expecting Ellis to be in goal for the Ducks. I don't know what exactly the injury is to Emery. He did the leave the first game against LA over the weekend & Ellis played the final game as well.

My opinion:

Weber and Suter will neutralize Perry and Getzlaf, Rinne will shut down the rest of the Duck's offense, and the Preds will utilize a rabid home crowd and scoring by committee to take the Ducks down in six. It'll be a close series though, I bet a couple games go to overtime.

Style of play is the key to the series. The Preds are probably going to try to clog the neutral zone. The Ducks are going to want to run & gun. I've said it every playoff year the Ducks have to play disciplined hockey. They must stay out of the penalty box.

Selanne is the X factor. Weber & Suter can't play 60 minutes.

Trotz will have his boys toeing the line, marching in step, and every other coachspeak cliche you can think of. The Preds will play their game while Perry & Friends will hack, slash, elbow, and wait for Big Momma Carlysle to come whining to the rescue. Can you tell I don't like the Ducks?

I fully expect this to be a tough in your face series for 6 or 7 games. Like I said the powerplay will be key for both teams in this series. If Nashville isn't disciplined they will get their butts kicked. Because the Ducks powerplay is LETHAL.

Getzlaf, Perry, Ryan, Selanne with Visnovsky the lone defenseman. It's very similar to what Detroit can put out there when healthy. Good luck stopping them.

I think I picked the Ducks in 7 but I really don't know why. I haven't watched either of these teams all year.

I think this might be the most intense and underrated series in the league.

 

[Automattic]

I gotta root for Trotz.

As predicted very physical start to this game. This could be the most fun series nobody watches!

 

[higgyfan4]

are you watching on FSS? Is your picture all screwed up?

I wanted to know if it was FSS or my stupid cable co.

Probably true, as VS is showing the Nucks-Hawks game in my area.

I'm watching on SportSouth. Looks fine to me, lol.
