Vancouver in 6

B's in 7, home team wins every game BUT 7

Vancouver in 6. Though it would be nice if they won at home (in 5 or 7).

Just wait til you have a team in their division for a few years....this vote will be 100% Brunis. lol

You won't like them as much as you do now.

I think this whole series depends on whether Boston can get the following going, their power play needs to start working, Thomas needs to be stellar and Chara needs to shut down the Sedins and company. I think if Boston can play their best they can win but anything short of that and the Canucks will win. No room for error anymore.

I hate boston. I would love Vancouver in 6 but voted game 7, since it is the finals!

If VCR can get to Thomas early then VCR in 5. If not, then VCR in 7. VCR has had more time to rest than Boston plus Malhotra will provide that emotional feel good story that will energize the team.

You could spin that whole argument around and say Vancouver could come out rusty after the long layoff.

Vancouver in 5/6, unless Tim Thomas gets on a hot streak.

While both teams are pretty evenly matched, I think Vancouver wins.

Boston didn't look great against Tampa and Vancouver is a much better team than Tampa.

I think Boston's 3rd and 4th lines will put them over the top - they don't have the top end offensive talent that the Canucks do, but every line can score - their 3rd and 4th lines have combined for 43 points so far. Van's have combined for 13.
