I would not go as far as good as ever. He currently is the third worst out of the goalies remaining, beating out both Oiler goalies. Knights are not the Oilers.

I think this will be a sweep in favor of Vegas.

Did either of you watch the Oilers series? He's had a solid career but he's 35 years old and not in his prime. He's about to face a team that has more than just two scoring forwards.

Vegas in 6. I think the Hawks will steal a couple games but Vegas is the better team without a doubt

Not sure after last nights games but Crawford had the third worst sv% of all goalies so far except for Smith and Koskinen. He hasn't really been a standout for Chicago so far.

Hawks may squeeze out one win but this won 't be pretty for them. Vegas is on a whole other level than the Hawks previous opponent especial on defense and the Hawks don't have the goaltending to keep them in this. I like the make up of the Vegas team and I think they have a big run queued up.

Team speed and team defense.

The Oilers have a fast player, the Knights have a fast team. This will cause the Hawks problems.

The Oilers have 6 defensemen, Vegas has solid team defense. This will make things difficult for the Hawks.

Will be rooting for Foss' boys, but I don't like their chances. Vegas is too strong. Hawks will need both Crawford and the PP to be on fire.

I'm going the other way and I think this goes 7. Both teams have experience going on deep playoff runs but the Hawks have the edge in going on multiple ones, and that experience allows Chicago to push this to 7.

Yeah, pulling for the Hawks in this one. Plus don't we want all the lower seeds to get through because they re-seed after each round? Or do I have that wrong.

As much as I would love Chelsea Dagger to drive the Western Conference fans crazy (especially, if we could get to a H2H matchup with your guys vs. mine), I can't see the 'Hawks winning a Vegas matchup, and would expect defeat in 6.

I'm also gonna say Knights in 5. The Hawks did well to take advantage of a flawed Oilers team, but the Knights are a completely different animal.
