"Battle of Vancouver Island"

Anaheim AINEC.

Regular season series: 2-0 for vancouver (8-5-3, 8-6-2)

[lightupdadarkness]

IIRC Matthew has a pretty good GP advantage so he should win

[Da_Hawks]

Canucks roster is pretty legit. Great depth and Vasi in net. Hard to vote against them.

[Matthew]

Nylander late for team meeting and being sat by coach. I find out 5 minutes after lock. Damn.

[Matthew]

Vasi is too good.

[Fraser]

He's my x factor

[kimmer]

I never realized how deep VAN was
holy shit
that defense

yea ANA has no chance

[dave1959]

yet Anaheim is current winning and has a 2640 to 1980 edge in minutes to play

[thom54]

i mean, doing the opposite of what Kimmer says is a sound strategy

[kimmer]

good things should not be happening to bad people
