This is the one team out of LA/Phoenix/San Jose I didn't want the Canucks to face...they don't play well against them for some reason. Kopitar can dominate against them if he plays like he can. Brown can cause headaches for everyone on the ice and most likely draw a few penalties. They also have a coach that brought the Flames to the Finals.
D. Sedin will be back most likely which gives the Canucks more scoring depth. H. Sedin has found his groove the past few games and is playing with more confidence. Kesler has to wake up. The Canucks depth on D is unparalleled in this league. Also sitting out most likely from the forwards will be Weise, Kassian, and Ebbett...they also have ex-NHL Reinprecht playing for the Wolves so there is more depth there too.
Saying all this, I still have to go with the Canucks...not going to put a number to it because it doesn't matter. I'm just looking for 16 wins from them this playoff...just 16.
