My main concern for the series is that the Canucks may be able to find a way to shut down our big 3. In the regular season, most teams just play their own game and almost ignore the opposition (to a degree). While in the playoffs they focus everything against a single team and devise strategies to target their strengths.
Obviously this works both ways...but I do feel we could be in big trouble if they find a way to shut down GMH, our bottom 3 lines have been pretty abysmal...especially without our 4th best scoring fwd (Bouma) injured.
I am feeling confident though...good matchup for us.
If only every start wasn't 10PM EST....lots of long nights for us transplanted Calgarians living out East.
