Anaheim Calling and Jewels From The Crown -- playoffs!
As was pointed out last summer, the Sharks, Kings, and Ducks all enter this postseason with eleven franchise playoff series wins -- now it's an open BoC Race to Twelve (or if we're damn lucky, Fifteen). We'll know a lot more about seedings and opponents after tonight, I think, but for now...
Not my best, but it's Saturday.
Here again is the rundown of all three franchises' eleven playoff series wins.
| Anaheim Ducks | Los Angeles Kings | San Jose Sharks | |||||||
| Win No. | Year | Opponent |
Series | Year | Opponent | Series | Year | Opponent | Series |
| 1 | 1997 | Phoenix Coyotes | 4-3 | 1969 | Oakland Seals | 4-3 | 1994 | Detroit Red Wings | 4-3 |
| 2 | 2003 | Detroit Red Wings | 4-0 | 1976 | Calgary Flames | 2-0 | 1995 | Calgary Flames | 4-3 |
| 3 | 2003 | Dallas Stars | 4-2 | 1977 | Calgary Flames | 2-1 | 2000 | St. Louis Blues | 4-3 |
| 4 | 2003 | Minnesota Wild | 4-0 | 1982 | Edmonton Oilers | 3-2 | 2002 | Phoenix Coyotes | 4-1 |
| 5 | 2006 | Calgary Flames | 4-3 | 1989 | Edmonton Oilers | 4-3 | 2004 | St. Louis Blues | 4-1 |
| 6 | 2006 | Colorado Avalanche | 4-0 | 1990 | Calgary Flames | 4-2 | 2004 | Colorado Avalanche | 4-2 |

| 8 | 2007 | Vancouver Canucks | 4-1 | 1993 | Calgary Flames | 4-2 | 2007 | Nashville Predators | 4-1 |
| 9 | 2007 | Detroit Red Wings | 4-2 | 1993 | Vancouver Canucks | 4-2 | 2008 | Calgary Flames | 4-3 |
| 10 | 2007 | Ottawa Senators | 4-1 | 1993 | Toronto Maple Leafs | 4-3 | 2010 | Colorado Avalanche |
4-2 |
| 11 | 2009 | San Jose Sharks | 4-2 | 2001 | Detroit Red Wings | 4-2 | 2010 | Detroit Red Wings | 4-1 |
Lots of good memories there.
And heck -- I even got free artwork in my inbox! Hooray!

I almost yearned for Hazy... or a read hot poker...
I went to the game yesterday @ the Pond, sorry, the Honda Center, and dear god did the Ducks fans prove to be a painful bunch to endure.
I almost [I said “almost”] yearned for the dulcet tones of one brain dead homer Hazy.
At one point the “very knowledgable” Ducks fan behind stated to his friend with great authority that, “Ellis needed to cycle more.” he then proceeded to explain to his friend who was nodding with devoted attention that, “Cycling is when the goalie moves back and forth really quickly in his net” [this was in response to some goaltending athleticism that Quick was showing in the second period on a wrap around attempt, if I remember correctly].
I almost turned around and asked him would he prefer that Ellis be shooting for a Canadian 50Hz or a more Amurrrican 60Hz [I know, I know Canadian is 60Hz, but 220, 221, whatever it takes]
Save me Jeebus!!!
So happy to have Bob Miller on my side.

Are you actually trying to compare those two broadcasters in the same breath?
you may not like Miller but holy mary mother of cthulhu… Brian Hayward [and yes I know one is color and one is play by play]?
Although your point is taken, my sanity is indeed suspect.
I didn’t compare anyone. I simply noted my dislike for Bob Miller. And said you were crazy, which you just agreed to.

clarification...
There was no direct connection, aside from the familiar feeling of psychic pain I got listening to the aforementioned fan and when I listen to Hazy’s muffled homer blather as he tries to extract his tongue from between Perry’s buttcheeks.
If you’re waiting for me to defend Hazy, I ain’t doing it. I hope he’s fired today.

oh, and...
Please dear god Kings, get it together and get a W tonight.
Either that or see fit to gift me a Quick or Brown jersey “off their backs” tonight.
I wasn’t quite sure how I would have properly/publicly defiled a Ducks jersey off their backs yesterday had I won one as a part of fan appreciation night.
Who am I kidding, I wouldn’t have had the balls.
So I tried to pencil out the scenarios for the Ducks, and here’s who the Ducks would play if they ended up:
4th — Nashville
5th — Nashville or Phoenix
6th — Detroit or San Jose
7th — Detroit or San Jose
8th — Vancouver
Can’t be the Kings, Blackhawks, or Stars. Out of the teams above, who’s the most appealing right now?
www.battleofcali.com
And actually, that might be the exact same “choice” that the Kings are facing, too. If L.A. ends up in any of those seeds, they’ll get those opponents too.
www.battleofcali.com
Also, I think if Chicago beats Detroit tomorrow, that means the loser of tonight’s game will be the eighth seed.
www.battleofcali.com
What kind of wackiness has to happen tonight and tomorrow so all three teams avoid each other until the second round? Math is hard.
Managing editor of From The Rink
www.fromtherink.com
There are probably multiple solutions, but one easy one is:
Chicago beats Detroit in regulation tomorrow.
That would ensure that San Jose stays in 2nd seed and Chicago would take 7th. One of the Ducks or Kings would be 8th, and the other would be 6th or better.
www.battleofcali.com
And maybe Chicago can win in overtime or a shootout, too — I’m not sure who won the season series between Detroit and San Jose.
www.battleofcali.com
Personally, this seems like it would be an excellent end-of-the-season finish.
Tomorrow, Detroit beats Chicago in regulation at 12:30, and Dallas has its opportunity to get in at 6:00 against Minnesota with a win. However, they lose that game badly, either by a 8-0 score or by blowing a 3-goal lead late. The anguish after that loss would be extra awesome. :)

California is the best! Woooooooo!

Not sure about that — they started the night behind Nashville, so if they lose also they’d be in 6th.
If we get 4th, it has to be Nashville.

I decided a while ago that this race is waaaay to confusing for me, so I’m just focusing on who is in/out. The Western Conference is ridiculous, and I feel dumb trying to figure it out.

Well, Ducks seem to be a different team now than they’ve been for a lot of the early season, so it’s suspect, I guess.
And there’s probably some empty-netters in there.
www.battleofcali.com
Nashville would be a really bad match-up for the Ducks, I think. They have defensive players that could actually shut down Getzlaf’s line and their offense is deep as hell.
Agree
Not real excited about a first round matchup against them.
by PhantomPretender on Apr 9, 2011 9:18 PM PDT up reply actions
It’s just tough to tell because we only played them once recently, and that was the Hiller start. That whole game was whack.
www.battleofcali.com
Yeah, just on paper they seem built to stop a team like the Ducks: tough defensive team, great top pairing defense that can compete physically with Ryan-Getzlaf-Perry, deep team that can take advantage of Anaheim’s bottom six.
The Kings are going to end up winning this game anyway so this is all moot, but it’s fun to think about.
I agree with RK here. If our reward for getting fourth is NASH in the first round, the joke might be on us. NASH is really tough to play once they have a lead, and our boys don’t even really start skating most games until they are behind a goal or two.
i’m not even sure he saw the initlal shot, but as long as it doesn’t hit the back of the net

We’d play Phoenix in the 1st round and they’d have home ice if we win and they get at least 1 point.

This is somewhat clarifying:
Here’s the short version: Canucks will host LA/Chi/Dal; Sharks will host Pho/Chi/Nas/LA; Wings will host Pho/Nas; Ducks will host Nas/Chi.

With one game to play, Chicago could still finish 5th, 7th, 8th, or 9th. The West is mental this season.
OK
Here is my hopelessly optimistic scenario where the Kings go back to the Stanley cup this year.
1. Chicago and Dallas loose, Vancouver gets screwed and has to play Chicago.
2. Sharks choke (Ok, that’s not hopelessly optimistic)
3. Ducks and Coyotes prevail through really bad refereeing
4. Vancouver and Chicago have a huge bench clearing brawl, resulting in 7 injuries 18 suspensions, and one death (probably one of the Sedins).
5. Kings figure out power play, figure out how to play shutdown defense without Kopitar, and get lucky (by a series of incredibly fortunate events not currently forseen), win next two series
You guys let the Hawks invade BoC? tsk! And to think this was a somewhat classy joint.
:)
woohoo! Sharks ROCK!!
GO SHARKS!

I have to pin my hope that the AHL-caliber squad who will be masquerading as the Wild this evening managed not to get beat by the Stars……. and I’m keeping my elderly mother company at her house tonight b/c there’s tornado weather rolling in soon, which means i’m not drinking (she very anti-alcohol).
on the other hand, I thinking i’m being surprisingly less volitile than other SCHers right now. could just be the lack of booze in my system though.

Chicago loses, so it’s pretty much set.
1. VAN vs 8. CHI or DAL
2. SJS vs 7. LAK
3. DET vs 6. PHX
4. ANA vs 5. NSH
There will be a first round BoC. And it is the Predators in the Ducks’ future.

Sigh.
I gotta go with the Sharks in 6. Kings haven’t looked their best lately, with the injuries making it worse.
Shark Weak on NHL will be delayed until Round 2 at least.
I’ve decided that all my postseason predictions will have one criterion. See if you can spot it :P.
