    HOW many games will Van need to win the cup?
    I am betting the exact series price instead of the the -230 line which i think is way to high
    Would like to know how many people think Canucks will win the series by?
    In 4,5,6,or 7?

    Everyone vote would be greatly appreciated

      It will be a good series, but I think Van is just too deep, too talented

          Sorry , but this isn't going to be so easy. Boston is gonna play like chicago and punish the sedins. They just need to get into headcase lunogo s head..

            If I had to I would guess six or seven. But that really puts it in the ballpark of being more of a series. Cheers

                6. the big question is whether the awful, horrific, anemic powerplay on boston can come to life. In game 6 they started putting Chara in the slot. I think that's a great move, and i've been wanting them to try that all year. obviously downside is you dont have his rocket of a slapshot coming from the point. but he does a great job screening goalie, and if theres a rebound, theres no question hes gonna win the battle. he also has a very long reach which makes fighting for rebounds even better. It will be interesting to see if having Chara in the slot can bring to life the boston powerplay. Now, im nont expecting anything electric. but 20% or higher would be decent enough to put up somewhat of a fight against Vancouver. of course, if boston cant get their powerplay going, they need to neutralize vancouvers powerplay advantage by not taking many penalties, and doing good job to kill them off.

                boston has slight edge in net. it will also be interesting to see what effect the layoff will have on vancouver. depends on how hard they practice. if they are having practices without game-like intensity, don't expect them to come out as fresh as boston, who just has a really tough battle in a high-intensity, fast-paced series against tampa bay.

                bruins will need to be a lot more physical this series if they want to have a chance. boston has not been hitting as much as they should in my opinion, and vancouver has a very big, physical line of defenders.

                vancouver has the edge, but boston has an amazing goaltender. vancouver should win in 6 i speculate, but dont forget boston has been a very good road team all year long, and if they can get a split in the 1st 2 games, i think we're going to be in for a heck of a series. i would be surprised to see a 4-0 or 4-1 series from vancouver. i think 6 or 7. but that all depends on whether putting Chara in the slot can help ressurect the boston powerplay. Also, Boychuck is an enigma. sometimes hes great, other times he makes bad plays. If Boychuck can start playing like a Man-chuck, and if boston can get their powerplay to at least a low-but-satisfactory level, and if boston plays as well on the road as they have all year, this series is not over before it starts. Vancouver still has the edge obviously. But i dont think boston's gonna pack it in without a hell of a fight.

                  Canucks win in 6 games
                  +375

                  I think that is a solid bet

                        Boston's good on the road, sure, but don't forget that Vancouver was the best road team in the league.

                          I figured it wasnt the best odds but +375 is what my place had

                          I like the odds, the whole argument that it is hard to win the cup in Boston is overrated I think

                          Last three cup winners have won the cup on the road

                                  I'd say Vancouver in 6 or 7, this will be a good series.
