CDSF: (2) St. Louis Blues vs (3) Chicago Blackhawks

[-Vintage Canuck-]

Who will win the series?

[Brad Marchand]

Nice coordination. We didn't end up making two threads on the same CDSF (maybe not).

Hawks in 6. Proven winners until they get beat.

[UFCanuck]

4-1 Blackhawks

[Spotted Zebra]

Can't miss Series.

Blues in 7

[AriGold]

Kane & Toews back + The Blues are playing terrible = Hawks in 6

[The Stork]

Hawks in 5 Blues are going to falter if they don't have guys like Backes, Oshie, Tarasenko in the lineup and also Miller hasn't been his self as of late make that 0-5-0 in last few games what a way to end the season Blues

[Tangelos]

Hawks in 7. I kind of view the blues in the same class as the Sharks: they choke when it matters most.

[Colts_14]

Hawks in 5, blues are stumbling

[Pears]

Blues in 6. They'll turn it on when it matters.

[The Magician]

Going to be the best series in the 1st round other than maybe San Jose-Los Angeles/Detroit-Boston

[Madness]

Can't wait for this series

Hawks in 6.

[Peaches]

Blues in 7. Should be a helluva series.

[van_ws]

Hawks in 6. Blues are forever playoff chokers.

[ManUtd]

Anyone know when the Blues injured players are due back? Just can't see their current ridiculously depleted lineup beating the Hawks or even putting up much of a fight.

[Master Mind]

Hawks in 6.

Blues need to get all their injured forwards back to have a chance.

[Dr.Strangelove]

Blues in 7

['Nucks Fan from Montana]

This series will be a pure heavyweight bout. Even though the Blackhawks are getting Toews & Kane back from their injuries, I can sense St. Louis getting charged up after the slump they had to finish their regular season. Going with Blues in 7.

[Van_City123]

Chicago in 6.

[oldnews]

Maybe the toughest series to make a call.

Really hard to argue against underlying numbers like these. Particularly with the Blues backing into the playoffs.

What is truly ridiculous - guys like Kruger and Bollig getting 17.3 and 20.7% offensive zone starts (and Smith) and being positive corsi on players.

I'm going to say Blues in 7!
