And don't even get me started on how incredibly annoying and vomit-inducing the PBP would be. So yea, Ducks all the way.


This is exactly how I feel, except in reverse. I feel the officiating in an Anaheim series will absolutely blow up the CP server.

I'm expecting it to be bad either way. But I think it'll be much worse against the Oilers with McDiver.

Also would Anaheim rather see the Flames or Sharks in Round 1?

If they prefer the Sharks, maybe they will lay down for the Kings tomorrow as well.

Yea, I guess either way it'll be a tough battle against the officials. We do match up better against the Oilers in terms of depth, but the McDavid circle jerk would almost be too much to take over a 7 game series. I cringe just thinking about it.

Beating the Greasers would be so sweet, but losing to them would be absolutely soul-crushingly unbearable, and would totally ruin my summer. Whereas losing to the Ducks would just be par for the course and I'd probably get over it a lot quicker. Of course beating them would be pretty great too, as it means the Flames would finally exorcise the Anaheim demons. We're definitely in for an entertaining series either way.

The Oilers by far are the easier team for us to beat as compared to the ducks.

Bob Nicholson on after hours said the Oil are going for the "orange crush" motto for the playoffs with the orange jerseys.

Not said, but they are obviously trying to do something to counter the C of Red!

I'm iffy on the series but it's the BOA it's the best playoff battle in hockey. I believe the NHL changed the playoff structure back to divisional rounds just so this would happen. Bring on the Oilstains
