Hawks have better dmen

6 games

 

[Ron*]

Wanted to post a poll for who wins and in how many games but I mucked it up. If a moderator can do that for me, appreciated.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Ducks in 6.

 

[Twitch]

I think the Hawks will take it.

 

[Bee Sheriff]

go HAWKS

 

[goosh]

Ducks in 7. Great depth, just a matter of how healthy Perry is gonna be.

 

[Docgonzo]

With how unlucky our fanbase has been this season it'll be the Ducks. It's like hockey gods tipping the scales after our great 3 years.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Fixed it for ya Ron.

Just learned that polls are a PITA to edit.

Yeah, we got a three-year reprieve, which was nice, now it's all trouble

Doesn't matter either way to me. Chicago wins we get a 'new dynasty' crammed down our throats. Anaheim wins and I get incessant phone calls all summer and will have to vacate social media.

I think it will be a really fun series either way, insanely fast paced, but I think the Hawks d-men tip the scales, specifically Keith. Hawks in 6.

 

[Little Psycho]

Hawks in 6. Anaheim will finally be tested.

 

[The Night King]

Chicago in 7.

 

[kingsboy11]

Hawks in 6. Ducks finally play a good team. Lets see how they react.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Clearly the two best teams made it to the Conference Finals, just as what we saw play out last year.

Whoever is less beat up is going to get to the Cup Final. Offense you could go either way, call it a wash, or maybe tip the scale slightly in favor of the Ducks, defensively, the Hawks have the edge though the Ducks are getting offensive contribution from most of their blueline. In net, as shaky as Crawford has been, he got better in the second round and he beat the Ducks twice during the regular season.

Special teams will be big in this series. I don't think the Hawks are as undisciplined as the Jets or Flames were, they have playoff experience going for them, and I think they're going to show an extra gear given how they lost in last year's Conference Final.

 

[ru4reals]

I voted Hawks in 6. Both teams have great depth and skilled payers but the deciding factor is pretty much the best player in the world right now is Patty Kane!

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

It's going to be pretty interesting to see how many Hawks fans pile into the Ponda Center. During the regular season there was a good presence of Hawks fans at Ducks games.

 

[kingsholygrail]

We all lose.

 

[Choralone]

Guess who I voted for in six?

 

[mighty Stanley Duck]

Biggest problem is that people arent even looking our games but still they found a way to discredit pretty much every our player outside of Getz and Perry.
Its darn funny how we were underdogs vs Jets, but after we sweeped them, whole army crawled out of the cave saying: Ducks are good team etc etc.
I dont have problem with admitting it that Hawks are favorite vs us, but c'mon, watch some game then judge us.
I have to said it...now i can get back at listening my college teacher.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I've watched Ducks games. They got nothing on the Blackhawks.

 

[mighty Stanley Duck]

You guys are different...Hawks fans and East fans mostly dont know nothing outside of Getz, Perry, Kesler thing.

 

[kingsholygrail]

My concern for the Blackhawks is their thin depth at D. Crawford is really up and down too.

 

[KingsHockey24]

I hope they both lose, lets go Tampa/Washington.
