I think that while it might be hard going through St.L to win a Stanley Cup , they are a good match-up in the 1st round. They can't win the 3rd game of a series. Last 2 years up 2 games to nothing and then out in 6.
They will not be as punishing to play against without Sobotka and Polak. They still have Backes, Reaves , Jackman and Porter but don't have the gang ability that they have had for the last 3 seasons. LA would easily dominate them.
A team that might not win a first round series but inflict damage St. L style is the Jets.
