i like both teams it will be a good series to watch

Don't think Rosen sits right now unless they go back to 12-6. He's turning into the new Gunny. And he used to play for the Avs.

Yeah, I’d give Scandella some more time off. Not sure if Krug will be ready for game 1, but Scandella needs a full recovery.

Imagine if Thomas and Buch actually get going. Excited for this series.

A lot of people seemed to think the Blues had little chance in that series but I never understood it.

me either considering we won 19 of the last 20 games against them

Blues need to be better defensively if they want any shot at beating the Avs. Luckily for the Blues the Wild only had one guy who was actually dangerous with the puck every time he touched it. There's a lot more to worry about with Avs.

I doubt we see Krug back this series unfortunately. I’m not sure how we contain makar. Forwards stack up well for both sides. Winning in 6 is huge. Gives us time to rest and nurse some injuries. IMO only way we make this a series is if the orielly line evens out the mackinon line and Robert Thomas and buchy explode. Tall order but we should be very confident after handling an excellent wild team. Just some early thoughts.

I thought we were ok defensively given injuries. I think we allowed 1 5v5 goal the last two games. Binners puck handling was a huge difference maker, really nullified any forecheck of the wilds, going to be equally as important vs. avs.

Don't disagree with Binner. He was the difference maker.
