Oh I'm not really worried about Sven, I just think it's inevitable that something like that will happen, and it might as well happen this season.
And yeah, Vrbata has been amazing for the Canucks this year. He's their Hudler right now.

That might be the case against any other team, but losing to the Canucks always sucks. It wouldn't be the end of the world by any means, but there are some things that just never sit well with you, no matter what the situation. Especially since the winner is guaranteed to go to the Finals.
If things can lineup for the Canucks they could potentially have an easier path to the finals then most. Should beat Flames in 5, maybe 6. If Jets get in and upset Ducks, then Canucks win that thanks to Jets sub par goaltending and then we get the Blues who we have owned. Of course chances of Jets and Blues advancing aren't very good.
The Canucks are horrible, they're the biggest sham in the league. The Flames will sweep them and Vancouver will burn their city down as per usual.

This is the best April Fool's joke yet. Good one!

The Quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little, and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains while the Company is true. Go Flames Go!
Honestly a Canucks / Flames series is a coin toss that comes down to special teams and goaltending most likely. I have no clue what Vancouver will do if they get Miller back in time for game 1.

Canucks will fold like a cheap suit as per usual come playoff time. Fans will revolt, demanding heads role. Miller will demand to be traded but will have no suitors so Lack will be traded instead. Miller will then be traded to a sunbelt team for peanuts. Vancouver signs overpriced veteran goalie in off season, Vancouver fans rejoice and brag about the amount of young talent they have. Rinse and repeat.
Allen has played 33 games this season, 19 wins 6 loses 4 OT loses, .906 sv% and 2.45 GAA
EDIT: oh, and 4 shutouts.

Generally speaking, Allen or Elliott is basically a coin toss; behind the Blues defense they're both good but not great goalies who can either show up and play well and hold you to a goal or two, or turn in a stinker. The starting goalie isn't usually a huge difference for STL. But Allen's been pretty weak this year, so I guess if you had to choose, you'd want to play him.

With the Flames well rested, and with the Blues having Allen in net and Tarasenko and Steen sitting out - this game is winnable by the Flames.

No need to rush them back! “@StLouisBlues: Hitchcock said Tarasenko has lower-body injury, is day-to-day. Same for Steen” #Flames #CGYvsSTL

Who knows what happens in the playoffs, but "should beat calgary in 5"?
Calgary is 2-1-1 against Vancouver are they not?
I think Vancouver is 2-2-0 against Calgary
Should be a lot closer series than 5 games.
