WCQF: (4) St. Louis Blues vs. (5) Vancouver Canucks

[DS4quality]

I think this is a better match for us than Dallas right now, but I won't be super upset if we lose, I just don't want to get swept. 

 

[greenbean]

I think we take it in 6!

We won the season series because of goaltending so it'll be tough this playoff series. Blues ain't no joke

No? We definitely did not win because of goaltending. Markstrom was average.

Tough match up...battle proven team...to be the champs, you might as well beat the champs!

 

Bouwmeester is out; however, their strength is still D.

 

Canucks in 7.

[Slegr]

That sucks that the Stars found a way to win that game. Blues will be a very tough opponent, but it’ll be exciting hockey. Go Canucks!

Yeah we did.

 

Demko wasn't. He played 2 games vs them and was pretty damn good.

Well this is going to be interesting as my buddy is a huge Blues fan.

Oh you are talking about the season series... that's irrelevant.

FIGHT HIM!!!!

[Silky mitts]

This is going to be tough

[Pete M]

We just finished beating a team that is very similar to the Blues!

[Mackcanuck]

Canucks in 6!

Book it!

Blues haven't won a game in 4 months now

Last year they came into the playoffs on a huge roll,

This year, not so much!

He will be singing the Blues soon

Either team presented its own challenges. You go to the playoffs as the lower seed it’s not going to be a cakewalk. That said, why can’t Vancouver push St. Louis?

Uhh so close.

 

Even worse Calgary is going to get a free ride to round 2.

 

How so? I don’t see them beating Dallas.

A bit yeah. We will probably need solid goaltending again though. Both of our special teams were similarly ranked during the season so that might be interesting to watch.

Just like Pitts was getting a free ride into round 1?

Last time the Canucks came into a first-round series as the true underdog was 2002 against the Wings, a historically great, legendary team. If not for a fluke center ice goal, that series could have gone 7 games easily. I think we’ll give the Blues all they can handle!
