Calgary vs San Jose 7 game series

[winnipegger]

Who would win?

 

[treple13]

I think this would be a tight matchup that could go either way. I'd say Calgary in 7, but it really is likely to come down to which teams gets the bounces go their way.

 

[Calgareee]

It would be an awesome series. Honestly think goaltending would be the determining factor. He interesting to see if San Jose makes a move there given the play of Jones and Dell so far.

 

[FerklundCGY]

Sam Bennett has that entire team on a leash.

Flames

 

[CraigsList]

I don’t know.. this one was a tough one for me.

I still think we’re inexperienced, so my guess would be Sharks in 7.

It would be a 7 game series for sure. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if the Flames pulled through though.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Sam Bennett has that entire team on a leash.

Flames

Not as short as the one Evander Kane has on the Flames.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Depends on which Karlsson shows up. He took the sens pretty far on his own a few seasons ago.

It would be a good series

 

[Painful Quandary]

Calgary, as the league allows them to get away with hits that they punish the Sharks for.

 

[DCDM]

Oof I dunno. Imagining this 7 gamer gives me goosebumps. Would be a hell of a series. Probably comes down to goaltending.

 

[CaptainShark]

Let’s wait until May

 

[sufferer]

This is a series I'd stay awake for.

 

[Sendhelp2Anaheim]

Calgary would bully san jose… just like the oilers did

Oh god.

 

[Rubi]

Gotta go with the Flames.
Goaltending will be the difference.
Rittich (.920 Sv%) > Jones (.897 Sv%) or Dell (.889 Sv%)

Like the slash Dell gave Bennett?

 

[Rubi]

Like the slash Dell gave Bennett?

Technically that wasn't a hit. That was just plain old cowardly dirty stick work by someone who knew he wouldn't have to pay the piper. Those are acceptable in Sharkland.

 

[Leafsrock95]

Gut says flames but ek could really turn it on and I think sharks have a better roster. Just a matter of their best player playing like it because you know Gaudrrau will b

Flames

Yeah, he threw one late, dirty hit on one of their defensemen with 30 seconds left in the game. He must be totally in their heads

Just like the Ducks did too, right?

Ya that 09 series was a masterpiece, shark fans prob still see hiller in their nightmares.

Goaltending will be the difference.
Rittich (.920 Sv%) > Jones (.897 Sv%) or Dell (.889 Sv%)

Rittich has 36 starts in his NHL career with a .913 SV%.

Martin Jones has 42 playoff starts in his NHL career with a .926 SV%.

To actually assume the Flames have better goaltending, you’d have to be betting on absolutely zero regression to the mean from Jones, Rittich, or Dell. Which, wouldn’t be very smart, but then again; that kinda seems to be your MO.

I’m talking about the one that happened in this decade, you know, where the Sharks were missing Erik Karlsson and Joe Thornton and still swept them.

 

[Capt Canada]

Calgary in 5.

I like Ritty but Jones has the much better resume.

I like Ritty but Jones has the much better resume.

Not this year and this year is the only year that matters.

Not this year and this year is the only year that matters.

Playoff experience matters.

Who cares about how well you played in the past. Its how well you are playing now that matters. Jones sucks right now and he's sucked for the past half season. I doubt he will suddenly morph into a .926 goalie after a half season of failure. But go ahead.. keep believing in sudden redemption. Its the only scenario that fits your dream.
