Everyone is overlooking the Ducks to go deep in the West. Everyone in this forum is all over Nashville to beat the Ducks 1st round. Nashville is a great defensive team with a great goalie, but they simply cannot score enough to win this series. With a little bit of goaltending, the Ducks with go far. The Ducks are a physical team built for the playoffs with the best line in Hockey. Everyone says their defense is suspect, but its actually very solid. The series price is around -150 right now which is a great value and at +1500 to come out of the west in some books, I would jump all over that number.

I liked the Ducks til Hiller went down. The Ducks D is not strong but Hiller has the ability to steal games. Emery and Ellis can not fill Hiller's shoes.Comment -
Lolz. I took them to win the cup this yearComment -
Ducks will go farComment -
Rinne might steal a game, but there is no way the Ducks lose 4 vs NashvilleComment -
This is a close series-I'm playing on making a few "game to OT" wagers with it. CheersComment -
If Hiller comes back I'd agree, but NSH are no pushovers. I went with the Preds this series.Comment -
i agree with you that anaheim is the team to lookout for, theyve got tonnes of potential.Comment -
Ducks won't even make it out of round 1Comment -
ducks will be eliminated by nashville in round 1 then nashville will lose to vancouver, then vancouver will lose to san jose, and so on...Comment -
For me if they had a healthy goalie I would have them going deep.Comment -
Anaheim isn't losing to Nashville...
Watching them this year...they will have trouble keeping up with an elite offense like the Ducks..
Nashville will go from 0-4 in the playoffs to 0-5. Ducks in 5.Comment -
Over 5 tomorrow ...Comment -
Dan Ellis is better than Emery IMO, Ducks played real good in front of Emery giving him such a good record but he leaves alot of fat rebounds in front.Comment -
Nashville 8.78 pims/game 2nd lowest in league...Ana 3rd ranked pp 23.5 % Nashville just wont give up that many opportunities for ANA to go to pp. Even strength I give big edge to Nashville and they seem to have a number of guys playing well going in. Hornquist, Legwand, Erat they just find ways to win.Comment -
Predators will win the series. Nice value on +110.Comment -
they are really solid at home.
that flying v formation is really hard to deal with.Comment -
I got them in 7 games to beat NSH....they were my cinderella team out of the west to go to the cup.....but after watching some of their games i have not been impressed w/ their defense....that top line they have is sick though...will be interesting to see how far they can goComment -
Anaheim will win. I really wouldn't be surprised if they caught a lot of people off guard and went deep. I will be playing Mighty Ducks clips to help them through.Comment -
THe Ducks just choked tonight. Rinne played amazing and stole a goal in the 1st period which would have shifted momentum. Dont give up on the Ducks yet though, Nashville is nothing specialComment -
I think Emery is there guy now. We will see how that plays out. I think this ends up being 3-1 after they are done in Nashville.Comment -
So word is expect Emery Friday. Nobody can tell me his hip/whatever is full strength so suppose he brings up the goaltending slightly over Ellis. Looking objectively I think NSV is again the play even though I have some reservations thinking about ANA down 2-0 already. CheersComment
