invisibleairwaves Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Thought it might be a good idea to leave the old thread behind and start over for the playoffs, like last year.

My point is that, in the playoffs, you are up against one team and you have to figure out how to play that team. Canucks have a terrible record there. You can throw around your goal-against stuff all you want. In the playoffs, there's no Edmonton or Columbus to beef that up. Yes, Byfuglien's absence may hurt us but there are options coach Q can use and when he does, will you be up to the task? My worries are with our D (will they finally start taking the body on forwards coming into our zone?) and Crawford (how many games in a row can he play?)

I really have to emphasize the discipline thing. The Hawks won the last two rounds against Vancouver by effectively playing agitator. The Canucks had a lot of players who got goaded into getting emotional very easily. Once it happened, the Canucks lost focus, the game broke down and the Hawks were able to capitalize. Take away Byfuglien running the net, Shane O'Brien constantly looking for a fight, and Andrew Alberts taking as many minor penalties as he could manage, and then add in much more mature versions of Kesler and Burrows and the stoic leadership of the Sedins, and you have a totally different situation. Luongo may be a great leader in the locker room, but on the ice having a goalie captain is just a big mistake, and it showed. The Canucks have no problem dealing with a seven-game series. They've made it past the first round every time they've made the playoffs under Alain Vigneault. The question is whether they can stick to their game against a team that loves to distract them, and this year they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
