digitalmonkey 929 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I think the layoff will hurt the Ducks tonight and Edmonton will win this one 5-2. However, I think the Ducks take the series in 6 or 7; I'll go with 7. Link to post Share on other sites
swass 0 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I agree. The layoff will hurt the ducks.Granted the Avs suck, but Anaheim came off a 7 game series vs Calgary and hand only 1 day off before having to play a rested Avs team. Didn't hurt them did it? Well, same thing here. Edmonton is riding high, Anaheim is coming off an 8 day break, and I see Edmonton carrying their momentum. Any momentum Anaheim had is gone now.The oilers were 4-0 against the ducks this year, and only finished 3 points behind them. The Ducks also haven't won in edmonton since 1999, and with the rowdy rexall faithful, that'll be a tough challenge for them.Sorry, I think both Detroit and San Jose are much tougher opponents then the Ducks. Yes, Edmonton has been playing well above their norm, but they'll continue their play.Edm in 6. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 This one could honestly go either way in my mind, everything depends on both teams continuing to play hockey like every game could be their last. The one certainty is that this will be the first series in these playoffs for both teams where neither squad is considered a heavy underdog. For the sake of consistency, I'll continue my ill-fated streak of picking against Edmonton.Anaheim in 7 Link to post Share on other sites

I would have considered Anaheim a favourite over Colorado or the very least an equal. Similar to San Jose being a favourite over Nashville.In any case, I appreciate your pick, for superstition purposes obviously! Link to post Share on other sites
rydawgg 0 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 To digitalmonkey and ajs510...if this goes to a game 7 (which it won't)....there is no way the oilers will lose a game 7. oilers in 4 Link to post Share on other sites

BearCanada 0 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Oil in 6 games.More heart, more passion and they just plain want it more. They are willing to sacrifce and that's what it takes to get the 16 wins you need to win the cup.Buffalo takes the other series and Edmonton takes the cup in 6 as well. Bear Sucks that the Oilers are the only Canadian team left. Now I got to cheer for them. Oilers in 6oh well, atleast there not ottawa.Amen my brother, amen.I'm from Thunder Bay originally.

Vertigo 0 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Oilers in 5-6. Go OIL...these ****ers better not blow it because they knocked out my boys in Round 1. But I've always loved the Oil too so I don't really care. Link to post Share on other sites
InsanityCubed 0 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Ducks in 6. I wouldn't be surprised if the Oil win it, but I think the Ducks are going to pull through again. Link to post Share on other sites

Vertigo 0 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 no one believes in a sweep? fine....It's just not very likely. The Ducks didn't come this far on luck. They are playing amazing hockey. I'm sure they'll at least win one game... Link to post Share on other sites

swass 0 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I'm thinkin' Edmonton could sweep this one. I love it. COULD. lol. Its easy to say that now. I still think it'll be tough tonight. It all depends on how Anaheim plays. I normally wouldn't want the Oilers to win this one so fast. I think that has hurt teams with long breaks so far this year. However, the Oilers really need some rest and some time to get rid of this flu bug. A week is probably a little much, but 4 or 5 days would be nice! Link to post Share on other sites
reyho 0 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 While the Oilers never like to make things easy on themselves - see game 3 after the 14:00 mark for evidence - I think they really want to close it out tonight. Watch the crowd go nuts again. Link to post Share on other sites
