Blackhawk Down
The Vancouver Canucks will face the Chicago Blackhawks in the first round of the 2011 NHL playoffs. Chicago has eliminated Vancouver from post-season play in both the 2009 and 2010 playoffs. This year Vancouver is looking for redemption!
Coming off an incredible regular season that saw Vancouver win the Presidents’ Trophy, the Canucks believe that their new squad is vastly more equipped to handle the mighty Blackhawks. With Alexander Edler, Dan Hamhuis and Mikael Samuelsson returning, the Canucks are almost at full strength. They are still missing Raffi Torres, due to suspension and their go-to face-off specialist Manny Malhotra, to a permanent eye injury.
But if the Vegas odds are to be believed, the Canucks are highly favoured to finally exorcise their playoff demons. This may be the year the Stanley Cup lands in the Pacific Northwest.
Canuck fans should thank the stars for Gillis’ off-season and trade deadline pick-ups. They’ve taken a good team and made it the best team. Good luck Chicago.
