yave1964 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 The Ducks are one of the top teams in the league but have had an insane amount of injuries all year, Defensive stalwart Fowler is out, goalie Gibson might not be able to start the series, par for the course for the Ducks. Kane has been wonderful for the Sharks who were red hot down the stretch. I am going with the Ducks because of home ice, but this one should be a fun nasty series.

pilldoc Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 I literally am going to flip a coin on this one. Gibson always seems to be hurt and E. Kane has new life on the West Coast. Ok ... I took a poll of my family. Here are the results. Wife: Sharks (because they are an aggressive animal) Son: Sharks (because they are an aggressive animal) Daughter: Sharks (well just because she loves sharks!) Pilldoc's family said Sharks! I guess I will go with the Sharks in 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belowthegoalline Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 X-factor is Joe Thornton. If he comes back and plays decent, I think the Sharks have the edge. If not, it will come down to a game 6 or game 7 for sure. Ducks are banged up. Sharks have struggled the last several games. Should be a good series.

Kings Redeem LA Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Methinks many folks may have written off the Sharks a year or two early. My 50% reliable Spidey senses tell me that this Shark squad beats this Duck team, in part driven by disproving the naysayers. I of course want them both to lose. But I wanna say that San Jose takes this one. I naturally hope the Kings'll be in the wings to destroy either team. Methinks they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't see Vegas/LA going to seven? If the Kings can figure out the offense thing, I think they make it a long series. I also see the Maple Leafs and Bruins capable of going to 7 if Toronto doesn't fall apart like the did in Game 1. SJ/ANA is the most like to go to seven, I agree. But, GO SHARKS!

I really didn't think the Kings would have such a hard time scoring some goals especially with Carter back. Man, I love this time of year. lol.

hf101 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I'd expect Corey Perry to see a suspension for this hit on Karlsson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if Doughty got a game for a similar hit, Perry should get a game. Agreed, what a stupid play. Karlsson wasn't even on the puck. Corey Perry has fallen off over the last two seasons, and this continues his downward spiral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belowthegoalline Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 My favorite part of that whole video is Perry's reaction in the penalty box. Come on, you piece of garbage. You're a dirty player, and you got caught making a really dirty hit. Grow up and take responsibility for giving a guy a concussion. Almost as bad as Dustin Brown. Like prick is a pansy.

Samifan Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 So we got an appearance from the greatest goalie to ever play professional hockey last night, Ryan Miller! I hope HJ and the Sabres management were watching! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Thornton comes back from injury, they can play him on the 3rd/4th lines and not disrupt the top 2 lines. Yuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 4 games and done. This series wasn't even close as the Ducks were limited to 4 goals on 132 shots in 4 games against the San Jose Sharks. Looking forward to the Sharks and Golden Knights in the next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never in a million years would I have called sweep. I had the Sharks winning (in six), but never considered a sweep. And if you had told me after 4 games that Burns would only have 2 points, I'd have thought maybe the Sharks were in trouble. Wow. This series obviously wasn't even close, and some of San Jose's big guns aren't even clicking yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like prick is a pansy. It's unfortunate the ducks don't have a nice gentle team like the flyers. They should get rid of anyone with an ounce of aggression, then next year we can all admire there sportsmanship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm actually with you there. I didn't think they were that good, and with their various injuries to key players I guess it's amazing they did. I really thought that with all of those pieces back that they'd at least make a series of it...maybe even unexpectedly steal it. But yeah, never considered a sweep.

J0e Th0rnton Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I figured 5-6 games, so I am surprised too. Ducks got frustrated by Jones stonewalling them and then took stupid penalties in frustration. Quite frankly, Perry and Getzlaf got by on reputation of being part of a cup team, but that team was carried by Niedermayer and Pronger. They have not done anything since those two left.
