If Anaheim knocks off the Sharks and the Nucks get the winner of Calgary/Chicago, both of those teams will be rearin' to go (although on the flip side - one could certainly argue that either of these teams will be tired).
On the other hand - If SJ comes back to knock off the Ducks, then the Canucks and Detroit will play one another.....and both teams will have had a long rest.
My concern for the Canucks is that Luongo tends to be a bit shaky after layoffs. |
Not to mention that St, Luis was a shit team (sorry St. Luis residents). A sweep of the Blues is not an indication of greatness. The layoff may hurt them first game back, but it's also an opportunity for some of our injured players to heal up (mostly Mats Sundin). I don't expect the Canucks to win it all, been around too long to get my hopes up like that, but I didn't expect them to be playing in game seven of the finals in '94 either.
