Not to mention, Vancouver at the bottom of that list is just silly.

How is it silly? That chart says that the Canucks were heavily outscored against playoff teams. I'm guessing a look at their record against playoff teams will show a correlation.

You can almost find any stat to show team A is better than team B. Your little chart doesn't prove anything for the post-season.

See my edit with records for Vancouver and Anaheim. It absolutely shows that Vancouver is only mediocre against quality competition and the Ducks are very good.

variance ftw.

the regular season has so many idiosyncracies with regard to travel and injuries that nothing can be gleaned from this except that Anaheim did better against playoff teams this year. It has no predictive value whatsoever.

The Wild are clearly a better team w/ Gaborik then without him and they split the season series w/ Anaheim even though Gaborik only played 1 of the games!

Wild in 4!

No, don't drop the puck for another two weeks. This thread needs more HATE.

Anahiem sucks. DonkeyKongSr is a huge donkey.

Minnesota's getting swept first round. So is Anahiem. VAN for Stanley Cup champions!

LOL. Please do some more research. I dont have the stas but I can guarantee you that Van has a better record against western playoff teams the second half of the season. Games in March are much more relevant than games in Oct.

Buffalo over New York Islanders in 5
New Jersey over Tampa Bay in 5
Atlanta over Rangers in 6
Ottawa over Pittsburgh in 7

Detroit over Calgary in 6
Anaheim over Minnesota in 5
Vancouver over Dallas in 6
San Jose over Nahville in 6

I don't like picking winners in 7, because then I'm basically saying I have no idea and I'm coinflipping. Ottawa-Pittsburgh I am coinflipping.
