Not sure I care enough for the 4th to turn into a 3rd for me to cheer for Vancouver on this one.

Deep down the middle, top goalie that can steal games, Norris-quality defenceman in Hughes. Vancouver in 5.

Something makes me want to go Preds in 7 even though Vancouver went 3-0 on the season.

Preds in 6
Hronek and his "holiday" comments won't age well

This should be a good series. Both teams have high-end goaltending and stud d-men.
Canucks have an edge in forward depth, but it isn't by much. If the Preds outwork the Canucks, the Canucks skill won't carry them.
Canucks in 6, but like pretty much every possible series in the West except Edmonton/Vegas, the opposite wouldn't shock me.

Lol, his comments were kind of dumb coming from a guy who literally has never made the playoffs and this year will be his first time. The comment was good in the sense that there's not much any of the Flames can say because he's right, but really dude, you're making it for the first time, yourself!

Nashville actually has a better win percentage than the Canucks since Jan 15th which is half the season.
Could be interesting.

Disagree. Canucks have WAY more depth up front. Nashville's whole bottom 6 is trash and they have Jankowski on the 2nd line.

Canucks are not the same team they were since the all star break. Something like 7 wins against playoff teams since the start of the new year. Scoring is way down as well. This could be tough if they cannot find their scoring touch again. A couple of good showings against the oilers and Vegas recently but still not a team on the top of their game going into the playoffs. Don't know much about the Preds but I am taking them in 6 since the canucks, on principal suck.

Preds have been one of the best teams in the league since middle of February (20-7-3 in their final 30 games) so this feels like a bit of a tough draw for the Canucks. I think this one will go seven games. I’m having a tough time picking a winner here.

I mean Kadri and Coleman have more rings than his franchise...there is a lot they can say. Just shows the immaturity of that team.

What is more valuable, slightly higher 1st round pick or 4th pick upgrade to 3rd?
Go draft pick!
How high can the 1st rounder be?
