    Chicago vs Vancouver... Who will win the series???

    Hi Guys,

    I began a "4 game chase" tailing Vancouver once they were up 3-0 thinking that Vancouver would get the job done and I would get an easy win. Now they lost the last 2 which wouldn't bother me as much if they weren't outscored 12-2... I am definitely starting to have some serious doubts now. Should I continue the chase or cut my losses? Any insight/opinion is much appreciated.

    Chicago is playing the way they should and as of right now the Canucks are looking like they're headed for a major choke job.

    I think thereīs still more than a fair chance the Canucks will finish their job, despite losing the momentum/handing it to the Hawks. Yet, donīt chase, it is never advisable. I myself will definitely bet on them in game six as they should be a nice dog, but only a regular play. GL!

    Thanks for your input... I am leaning towards playing Vancouver as a regular play for game 6 and taking a loss on the series instead of continuing what appears to be a dangerous roller coaster... I wonder if Vigneault will roll with Schneider.

    It's no coincidence that the return of Dave Bolland started the Hawks playing well. Notice with his return the Sedin line has gone quiet. It's also no coincidence that the Hawks late season swoon began when when Bolland went out with a concussion on March 9th. Also can't underestimate what the Torres hit did to ignite Hawks, especially Duncan Keith.

    Canucks will win if Luongo doesn't have a meltdown.

    Luwango needs one halfway decent game to survive.

    Even if the Canooks win Game 7...their confidence level will be destroyed and they
    lose in the Second Round.....

    And you are a moron if you didn't pay attention to the regular season. The Preds owned them this season.

    Surprisingly VAN is listed as -175 for Tuesday. They will have home ice and last change but I will be on CHI at that price. I think the crowd is actually a detriment to VAN and will be jittery/angry at the Canucks and CHI feels/seems like the team thats on the hunt. Cheers

    Wow have some gratitude for the guy-the two plays only show he hasn't had enough time in, especially in high pressure situations. I was shocked he got the call-I told my buddy if CS is in VAN has a decent shot. CHI ml is my play for game seven but I'm kind of sad for VAN fans as I live in BC. Cheers

    Ya if I was canucks fan I couldnt be mad for one second with schneiders effort. Great job for a rookie.

    The penalty shot was nasty.

    Mad at his effort no, mad at his stick handling ability yes. They should have just tied him to the goal posts like Goldberg in Mighty Ducks after the first one. Give up two like that in the playoffs is unacceptable.

    Stop chasing because you never want to chase a team like the Canucks in the playoffs, it's sad to say but it happens every post season.

    There is plenty of talent at this forum. There are winners all over the place to find throughout all the playoff games
