Unless you meant PIT not PHI. - steve laidlaw Wed, 13 Apr 2011 12:36:56 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3609-dobberhockeys-expert-panel-first-round#comment-13310 Nobody matched my exact picks of: WAS/BUF/BOS/PHI & VAN/SJ/DET/NAS. 7/8 with Ian(TB) & Gates(PHI). And both picked VAN/BOS w/VAN winning. Those are my "like minds"! ;) - Pengwin7 Wed, 13 Apr 2011 10:58:42 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3609-dobberhockeys-expert-panel-first-round#comment-13305 Their series last year was the best hockey I have ever watched. There were better series last year and other years, but the play between Phoenix and Detroit was amazing to watch. I am not a fan of either but love to watch their styles of playoff hockey. - Ross The Boss Palmer Wed, 13 Apr 2011 09:34:55 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3609-dobberhockeys-expert-panel-first-round#comment-13304 Alright fair enough. I vaugely do recall Van picked here and thinking that was overly bold. I wanted them to win but I wasn't picking them yet, mostly on maturity and a weak bottom 6 (including Ryan Johsnon who I admire but don't think you win with). But you're true - like Babcock said, until you've won it, you haven't won it. This year though, and I'm only looking at 1 rd at a time, I am taking Vancouver. And I think betting against SJ in rd 1 is the sucker's bet this time around. It's the only series that an upset would really shock me in. - Sanstanya Wed, 13 Apr 2011 08:44:08 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3609-dobberhockeys-expert-panel-first-round#comment-13303 Last season the concensus was Vancouver on here as well. I believe it was van/pitt being the popular choice. I'm not saying Van doesnt have a great team. In fact, they have the best team. And, on paper this shouldn't be a close series. However, I have seen enough of Luongo in a big game to know Van is far from a lock. Maybe this is the year Luongo plays in the playoffs the way he does in the regular season. If he does, Van wins the cup. If he doesn't, Chicago beats them for a third straight year. Until teams prove they can win (vancouver, sharks, capitals) it's a suckers bet to pick them. - Rob Wed, 13 Apr 2011 08:33:09 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3609-dobberhockeys-expert-panel-first-round#comment-13300 Phoenix is going to beat Detroit in 6. - Marcus Lepkowski Wed, 13 Apr 2011 08:21:38 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3609-dobberhockeys-expert-panel-first-round#comment-13299 Well, perhaps ironically, this is probably the 1st time that people are picking Vancouver. They sure as hell weren't the favourites last year. But if that is the entire basis for how you're picking teams year-to-year you might be dissappointed, and you also perhaps don't see alot of Vancouver games? The ones I have watched don't much remind me of last year's team. Nobody should care what anyone did last year. We have seen a few times recently cup winners miss the playoffs the following year, and in those instances they are rightly not usually picked to repeat because it is obvious the team has changed. Things change fast. Chicago was an absolute force last year; this year they are a good but not great team. Not even close to what they were. I don't think it's a lock at all, but I do think Vancouver is definitely the better team. Side predictions for that series: 1. Luongo does not get pulled in the series 2. at some point, Crawford does get pulled 3. one or more series Vancouver goals is/are scored with Ryan Johnson on the ice 4. No Chicago goals are scored with Ryan Johnson on the ice 5. *wildcard (based on nothing): upon his return, ex-Oiler Raffi Torres absolutely levels ex-Oiler Fernando Pisani. - Sanstanya Wed, 13 Apr 2011 08:20:26 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3609-dobberhockeys-expert-panel-first-round#comment-13298 Now it's basically guaranteed that Vancouver and Boston won't make the Final - Big Ev Wed, 13 Apr 2011 08:18:40 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3609-dobberhockeys-expert-panel-first-round#comment-13297 So, just how many times does Luongo have to be terrible in a big game before everyone on here stops picking Van each year? - Rob Wed, 13 Apr 2011 08:03:14 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3609-dobberhockeys-expert-panel-first-round#comment-13296 The consensus final is VAN/BOS but it looks to me like you have 4 BOS picks (and 4 PHI)and 5 WSH picks for the final. So shouldn't "consensus" be VAN/WSH? splain? Cheers. - Sanstanya Wed, 13 Apr 2011 07:59:19 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3609-dobberhockeys-expert-panel-first-round#comment-13294 I say Buffalo in 6 - Jason Arbuthnot Wed, 13 Apr 2011 07:28:55 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3609-dobberhockeys-expert-panel-first-round#comment-13292 i like LA to upset SJ myself - bill Wed, 13 Apr 2011 07:20:22 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3609-dobberhockeys-expert-panel-first-round#comment-13291 No one wants to take LA....

Everyone's lovin VAN up, and I just don't see it being that easy. - Marc Wed, 13 Apr 2011 07:13:48 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3609-dobberhockeys-expert-panel-first-round#comment-13268 Lundqvist stones the Caps in game 1 and gives them Halak flashbacks, Rangers in 6 - Draft Dodger Tue, 12 Apr 2011 16:29:59 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3609-dobberhockeys-expert-panel-first-round#comment-13267 No love Carson? I think I deserve some for being the only fool taking Montreal. Now say what you will about Nashville over Anaheim but at least FEELS like a big upset. - steve laidlaw Tue, 12 Apr 2011 16:28:15 +0100
