will be a bruising series, two big teams.
i am excited to see the hitchcock/sutter battle, it will be a very tight checking who makes the mistake first series.

LA has Justin William as their small shy forward and Scuderi on defense.
St.L has Andy Macdonald, Oshie, Tarasenko and Shwartz who are all smaller and softer as well as Steen and Stewart who are big but more like Jokinen than Glencross.
St.L has a lot of Lady Byng candidates when you add in Berglund.
Give HItchcock credit ex-Flames washout Adam Cracknell 6-2 210 has been getting 10 minutes/game down the stretch.....
As well the Blues defense : Pietrangelo, Leopold, Shattenkirk, and of course Bouwmeester are all make love not war kind of guys.
If it turns out a physical series like LA will want ... it will be Backes, Jackman, Polak ( with small hard players Nicols and Sobotka) trying to stand up to the LA hoards
