[Jaimito]

VGK in 5.

Well this is awkward for Lehner...

[-AJ-]

Honestly, the Knights should absolutely dominate, but with Chicago's round one upset, who knows.

 

I'm going with Vegas in five.

[Baer.]

Really looking forward to watching this series. I expect high scoring games

[ruilin96]

Can't believe I am saying this, but I am rooting the Hawks for this one. Can't stand Vegas.

[Twilight Sparkle]

never count out the experience in CHI. Hawks in 6

[I.Am.Ironman]

I think the qualifying teams actually have an advantage from coming out of a do or die series. Whereas the round robin teams really had no pressure in the games because there were no repercussions to losing.

 

I'm going Blackhawks in 7

[Shift-4]

I wouldn't want to face the Hawks but I still say Vegas in 6

[Coconuts]

Chicago makes it interesting, but Vegas is likely peaking. Vegas in six. 

[-Stammer-]

VGK in 7 but this one could definitely go either way. Not many saw Chicago beating Edmonton

[Down by the River]

The Oilers don't have Mark Stone. VGK in 5.

I like Chicago for the most part, but dont have full faith in Crawford. 

 

Funny how the Lehner trade has worked out!

Vegas is an NHL team outside their top 6 with 2 legit starting goalies.  I think Chicago would put up a decent enough fight, but I don't see them pulling this off the way I saw them exposing the Coilers as the frauds they are.

[Herberts Vasiljevs]

I can't believe I'm saying this because the Hawks aren't to be understated with their veterans and some of their budding young stars, but I'll go with with Vegas for the series sweep. This Vegas team is one of the best NHL teams I've ever seen, and I think they'll steamroll the Hawks.

[skolozsy2]

I'll be rooting for my Hawks, but I still think Vegas in 6....probably 5.  With Keith, Matta, De haan and Murphy the Hawks were able to neutralize the top heavy Oilers.  Vegas has much more depth at forward and a heavier forecheck, its gonna be a far more difficult challenge on the Hawks defense. I also fear an entire series facing Ryan Reaves, he could easily end someone's playoffs with one big hit.

[Canadian]

Kubalik is playing so well, he might extend this series. I think Vegas takes it in 6.

[Mackcanuck]

Knights in 6

[10pavelbure96]

Hawks in 7

Vegas in 5
