Canucks have played the Blues well the past couple of seasons. There was no "good" match ups coming out of the qualifying round, no matter what.

Don't expect them to win it, but I do expect it to be competitive.

I'll say Blues in six. The Canucks have two things going for them: elite offensive finishing talent that make for an excellent power play, and a goalie who can steal games. I think they get one game from each of those, but in the rest, the top to bottom quality of the Blues wins.

St. Louis in 6, only because the Canucks have enough top end talent to win a couple of games, but there's too much depth and experience on the Blues to be beaten by the inexperienced Canucks. Each game will be very close though.

I will take the Blues in 7. For years now the Canucks have been a difficult opponent for them so I expect the Blues to have some games in this series where they struggle.

Canucks in 4. Watching highlights from the 1995 series (Van vs StLouis) has me convinced that the Canucks have the edge.

I have the Blues in 4. I really believe that the book is out on Vancouver - play them rough and tumble, and Vancouver gets disjointed. They can't play a really rugged style - much like Toronto for instance. I like a lot of their pieces, and I think they are going to be a dangerous team in the upcoming seasons, but not this year. If the Blues didn't play a fairly heavy game (sometimes nasty), then I would see this series as a much more competitive one. Schenn is going to be all over Pettersson.


Markstrom is good enough to steal a game though - I much prefer him over Allen, and it isn't even close. The Blues won last season, but I still won't discount a Jake Allen playoff implosion.

Allen likely only plays if the Blues are already in trouble anyway.

Blues in 5. I don't think Vancouver has enough experience to keep up.

Canucks are off and running.

Really didnt think they had the horses to hang with the Blues and still may not, but man they are much better than i gave them credit for.

Ugh.

This is already such a better game than the earlier Colorado/Arizona game.

What do you know, I guess the Canuck fans were right, Quinn Hughes is the next Bobby Orr afterall.

Thanks Chayka for passing on him.
