Feels like this one could be a bloodbath so to speak with the word attrition coming up frequently.

The Blues are good....actually really good and also peaking at the right time. Their offensive depth matched by no one in the league. If either Binnington or Husso gets in the zone they would be extremely hard to beat in a 7 gamer.

The Avs are a machine right now however. I suspect they will start slow only because they havent faced a level of competition like they are going too, in a long time. But they will get there and with Makar/Mackinnon/Landeskog/Rantenaan leading the way, will figure it out over the 2 weeks.

Avs in 7 with 3 OT games mixed in.

This will be a massive test for the Avs considering their 2nd round blues so it's fitting that they are playing the Blues. I will take Avs in 6 but I would not be surprised if the Blues pull off the upset in 6 or 7 games.

I like an upset as much as the next guy but it's hard to bet against MacKinnon and Makar.

I think this series depends on which Binnington we see. If it's regular season Binnington, this series is probably over in 5. Although who knows, may Husso flips with him in the second round and plays lights out.

I'm actually worried about the Blues making it through.
They're a big team that can play some defense. They scored more goals in the regular season than the Avs did, and have fantastic special teams.

It's going to be a close one.

This is hard to call. It's going to be a heck of a death match. I'm still going to say Avs in 7, but it'll be close.

Hate to say, but I love this.

When we hold the cup this year, I'd enjoy entertainment like this.

I think your dataset might be taking into account an extra goal for shootout wins.

Blues scored 309, Avs scored 308. Blues had 2 S/O wins, Avs had 4.

Not a waste of 8 days, but maybe not the best use of them.

Blues are impressive. Quite the coming out party this season for Kyrou and Thomas, both blossoming into point per game + players.

Tarasenko healthy again and bounces back after his trade request to lead the team in goals and points.

Schenn and ROR 6th and 7th in team scoring, so tons of depth.

Good team, and poised to be good for a long time too.

I could see an upset here.
