Vancouver Canucks Vs. Dallas Stars - Got First Round Predictions?
By Richard Eriksson on April 11, 2007 - 12:02pm
The NHL playoffs are back in Vancouver after a three-year hiatus (including the lockout), and longer if you consider getting knocked out in the first round of 2004. I've got playoff fever, though only a case strong enough to put a Canucks sticker on my iPod and wave a flag on Hastings Street after the Canucks win. I'm no good with predicting anything, and plus it's better to put your money where your mouth is with a bet or, if you're really serious, a prediction market. But here goes anyway: I'm predicting that the Canucks will make it into the second round. After that, I have no idea: they are going to have a tough time with Anaheim or San Jose, or even Calgary, my second choice for Stanley Cup champion. The consensus seems to be Canucks in 6 games (though The Dallas Morning News blogger Mike Heika is predicting Vancouver in 7), but I'm going out on a limb and saying they'll win it at home in 5.
You don't have to login to comment on Urban Vancouver anymore, so let's have your prediction! Either a link to your blog or your prediction below will do. Any unusual bets being made?
GoCanucks.ca is giving away a Canucks jersey everytime the Canucks win a Playoff game. Not a bad deal.
That is not a bad deal. Are you associated with the site, Anonymous? Out of curiosity, not saying that it's terribly inappropriate or anything.
I saw that GoCanucks.ca has a blog (which I think I knew about already). I updated the feed in the aggregator.
Here's hoping you give away 16 jerseys! ;)

At five hours and 24 minutes from start to finish for the first game, I predict that players and fans will be lucky to last until
the end of this series. This isn't hockey - it's an endurance contest, and I for one don't have half the endurance I used to.
nicely done Erik... I certainly hope you are correct... I happen to be heading to that game, and THAT would be sweet, sweet fortune!
