Bring on the Hawks!

Bring on the Hawks! Chicago knocked off Calgary last night and that is perfectly alright with the Canuck world. We get home ice once again thanks to Anaheim beating San Jose. The series is rumoured to start Thursday night in Vancouver.

This should be a great series and for those of you thinking it won’t be physical watch this.

The regular season series was split 2-2 with each team winning once on the others home ice. The edge should go to the rested Canucks but we all know nothing is given in the NHL playoffs, ask the Sharks!

I look for this to be a grudge match with the Canucks coming out on top in 6 games, perhaps 5. The pure physicality of the nucks defence will wear down the Hawks who will be frustrated by Captain Lou.

Oh and coincidentally the only time the Canucks have swept a series in the playoffs was in 1982 in the first round against Calgary and we all know what happened that year don’t we?
