How frustrated are the Kings fan going to be when they realize Carter floats more than Frolov?!

Ugh, I hate Raymond on that second line. But what can you do?

So far from what I've seen of him, hes damn good defensively...was probably one of our best PKers too. Hopefully it stays that way.

It will be interesting to see how he responds. In my opinion he has a bit of a tendency to "check-out" of games when it doesn't suit him. But that was then and this is now.

He's had a roller coaster year going from Philly, to last-place Columbus, to Los Angeles. He might have something to prove.

Same was said about him while he was playing for Philly and he was highly ineffective during the playoffs. The Roxy will claim his soul hahaha.

After a very long time of playing poorly, Henrik Sedin has his confidence back. Once Daniel returns, I fully expect that the Twins will be lighting it up on the power play. Gonna be fun to watch.

Just wondering from each side, who do you think your unexpected hero might be?

We all know there are times when a 3rd or 4th liner has a huge game, or even a huge series to push their team to the next level. Who is that for your team?

For the Kings I am going to say Trevor Lewis shocks the world!

The more I look at the Kings roster beyond the first two lines, the more I think this will be a much shorter series than some are predicting. Canucks depth is going to massacre the Kings. Kesler or Pahlsson will be shutting down the top two lines and the Sedins are going to feast on what's left.

because Philly isn't my second favourite team in the East and I watched him do nothing?

Your sample size vs the sample size I watched?

I'm not sure if I'd equate everyone practicing with the Canucks being 100, but it sure would be nice to have our entire roster in the line-up for this series (and every subsequent one).

Gotta watch out for our 3rd line, especially Higgins. If the rest of our team plays like garbage Higgins still manages to carry us. If not him, Lapierre has some serious playoff magic.

Carter is reportedly 'white helmet' non-contact. So not 100%, that's for sure.

I'm going to say Hansen. Amps his game up and hits anything that moves.

This is a real issue for the Canucks. They seem to give up a lot of shorthanded chances, and got killed last year in the PO's with shorthanded goals. Hope they lock that down this year.

The only shorties Carter and Richards are gonna score are gonna be from the Roxie, and they'll both come down with a bad case of the ol' vd.
