WCSF: CEN(1) Colorado Avalanche vs. CEN(3) St. Louis Blues | COL wins series 4-2

[TheRealPepman]

My prediction: Avalanche in 7 (second round demons dodged)

Rematch of last year's first round series where Colorado swept St. Louis in 4 games...

[jayswin]

Av's in 4 or 5.

[Racki]

Looking forward to this one. Gonna be big boy hockey. Can’t imagine it doesn’t go at least 6 but probably 7 I’m thinking.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Avalanche in 5.

[Samonadreau]

If Binnington Stays sharp this one is going to 7.

Avs in 7

[Moneyhands23]

Blues in 6

[SeanCharles]

This will be a great series

[Nsd1]

Blues in 5

Whistles go away in round 2, and Blues mug their way to WCF.

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.

[Mathgod]

Avs flex their muscle and take it in 5.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Avs are a runaway locomotive this season....

[JohnnyB]

This should be a good series. Blues shouldn't make it easy on the Avs anyways.

[djsFlames]

You'd have to combine the best players on all the western teams just to have a shot at taking down Colorado.

[topfiverecords]

Blues in 7.

Blues in 7.

St. Louis is the dark horse of the playoffs. 9 players in the regular season had 20+ goals and 8 had 50+ points. If Binnington can stay sharp this is St. Louis' series.

[KPat99]

Blues in 7

[Cali Panthers Fan]

Avs in 6, only because the Blues have momentum.

I still don't think the Blues are that scary. They just outbattled another good, but not great, team in Minnesota.

The Avs are truly great. Unless Kuemper craps the bed, this should be Colorado win.

[RyZ]

I like the Blues depth better than the Avs, they just dont have the elite high end of a McKinnon or Makar on the roster. I think this one is a lot closer than many seem to think.
