[Baer.]

Nashville in 5

 

Both goalies choke in their respective losses.

[diesel_3]

Went Nashville in 6, think Dallas will grind out a couple.

[hatedkid666]

Stars in 6.

Nashville looks shaky and the Stars quietly have had the best goaltending tandem in the league this season. Plus that top line will get enough scoring done.

[Coconuts]

Predators in seven, for whatever reason I feel like Dallas will give em more than expected.

[6string]

Nashville has a lot of playoff mileage that will have them advance into round two. Six games.

[LucBourdon28]

Nashville has depth on defense and forwards where Dallas doesn't. Seguin, Benn and Rads can only get you so far. Could be wrong. 

 

Nashville in 7. 

 

I love Dallas and Nashville ; it's too bad they had to play each other in the first round.

[mll]

Bishop finishes the season with a save percentage of 0.934 which is the best mark in the league the past 8 seasons (min 40 games played).

 

Nashville has the worst PP in the league - they have only scored 33 PP goals while allowing 8 short-handed goals.  

 

Poile says their 2nd line needs to step up.  Turris has 5 points in his past 25 games.  Granlund has 5 points since being traded to Nashville (16 games).

[Riviera82]

Gonna take Dallas in 6; if Bishop stays healthy.

Preds

[BlueDragon23]

I’m going with Preds in 7. Stars will give them a run for their money because Bishop has been outstanding down the stretch.

 

Nashville’s crappy PP will slow them down, but they are much more stingier defensively. Shut down Benn and Seguin then the Stars don’t have much else there.

Dallas has allowed less goals against than Nashville - 200 vs 212 for the Predators.  Bishop has been good but the Stars have been also very solid defensively - only NYI has allowed less goals than them.  Nashville is tied 3rd.  

 

[189lb enforcers?]

Goes the distance, but Smashville wins. 

[RUPERTKBD]

I think the Stars will manage to win one at home, but the Preds are a far superior team, IMO....

[250Integra]

Predators should be able to win this easily. Predicting 5 games.

[mll]

These look to be the lines/pairings for game 1.

 

[-Vintage Canuck-]

Don't think there will be a sweep, but Predators should be able to end the series quickly.

 

Predators in 5.

[Rindiculous]

Dammit why is Cuthbert doing this series?  I want him on the Sharks, Knights series.

Anyone watching the game? Might be the least entertaining series out of them all, or at least the least discussed.

I'll be switching to it occasionally but yah unless this somehow goes the distance probably not watching this much.
