go vegas!

[Baer.]

Kings in 7

[MikeBossy]

I know how good Vegas has been this year but man - LA in the 1st round is not going to be fun

[The Brahma Bull]

Will be a very tough series for Vegas. I hope they tear the kings apart. 

[gmen81]

Hoping for Vegas, but I think Kings take this in 6. 

[iinatcc]

Vegas hasn't been that great the last few weeks. I'll take The Kings here ... Sadly 

[nuckin_futz]

Vegas in 5.

[pluralsight]

I picked VGK in 7. This will be close, but I can't see the Kings matching up with VGK in speed.

[theo5789]

Kings have been known to step up in the playoffs, I'm thinking their experience will take this one.

[Master Mind]

Probably the worse matchup for Vegas.

 

Kings can flip the switch (or get the steroids out) and with a rested Carter should be tough to beat.

 

Kings in 6.

[6string]

I have the Kings in six.

 

I'm one of those who are unhappy with the good fortunes the LVK have enjoyed by a generous expansion draft, enough is enough.

[JeremyCuddles]

I am kinda scared to guess this cause the VGK have been playing great all year but LA are playoff studs. Quick can carry you on any given night. Doughty, Kopitar and Carter are money. LA in 7. Hopefully VGK prove me wrong. I love how good they have been this year.

[Lafayettecrossbar]

I want LA to win because Kopitar, Carter, Quick....but Vegas has a pretty good goalie who has some playoff success. I think it'll be a long series

This is actually the hardest matchup for me to call. I have no frame of reference for the Knights as a playoff team. The Kings sometimes go beast mode as soon as the playoffs start, but also are prone to bad streaks as well. I think this was the match-up Vegas didn't want. I hate the Kings but this has prototypical Kings upset written all over it. Kings in 7.

 

[Riviera82]

Las Vegas has been mediocre for a while now and I think they'll really come back to earth in the playoffs. Kings in 6.

[hatedkid666]

Kings in 6.

Karlsson been great for VGK all seasons but now he has to deal with playoff matchups and I think he is going to get shut down.

[Ghostsof1915]

Kings in 4. 

Knights crash to earth.

Yup, the savvy and grizzled veterans in the LA lineup will rise. LA Rising!
