Well back in September I predicted it would be Detroit vs Vancouver, but I was one team off. I think this series will be very octane in terms of offense. Vancouver will have an easier time getting through the Sharks defense as oppose to Nashville, who was more in your face and closing the gap type of team. However, the Canucks have a major road block and that is Sharks goaltender Antti Niemi, who beat the Canucks in Round 2 of last year as a member of the Stanley Cup Champion Blackhawks. However, the X-Factors in this series will be the Sedin's for Vancouver and Marleau for San Jose. The Sedin's have struggled in the Predators series and are poised for a breakout against San Jose. Marleau also struggled against Detroit and got his first point of the series in Game 7 last night and it was the game winning goal.
Offense: Even
Defense: Canucks
Goaltending: Canucks
Special Teams: Sharks
Intangibles Canucks
Prediction: Canucks in 7
