There's a lot to like about this Vancouver team but it still has its warts. They are getting excellent play out of their stars like Pettersson, Miller, Hughes and Markstrom while also having run off the mill guys step up like Motte, Horvat and Virtanen. Green has them playing hard and buying in. Wish I could say that about the Flames. Could you imagine Johnny taking an iota of the abuse Pettersson takes? Pretty sure he'd crumble and turn to dust.
I hope they win this series. They are actually fun to watch and play hard. But I think they'll blow their wad beating St Louis and will fade in the next round. Besides, nobody is beating Colorado.
