This has the potential to be an insane 7 game death match. Don’t sleep on the Blues, they have 9 20+ goal scorers this season. That just shows how deep their top 9 is, arguably deeper than the Avs, although Colorado has more top-end talent upfront. St. Louis also has 3 solid defensemen, two or which are great puck moving d-men and the other is a solid two-way defenseman. Although, once again, the Avs have more top-end talent on their d-core also, but St. Louis brings playoff experience and cup winning pedigree.
With that said, I think the Avs will take it in 6, but wouldn’t be surprised if it goes 7 and down to the wire.
