The Preds only chance is to be physically dominant  . Vegas always had a good game plan to beat Colorado. All that skill comes unraveled and wilts. Nashville is not in the same league as Colorado if they don’t play dirty.

Agree. They have some guys who are not afraid to mix I up though in Yakov Trenin, Tanner Jeannot, and Luke Kunin.

 

Some solid pest potential.

MacKinnon vs Josi will be a great matchup. To be honest I think it'll be a fairly good write-off but when you look at the scoring depth of the Avs compared to the defensive depth of Nashville, Colorado wins it. 

 

This series will come down to depth. The top stars are great on both teams, Avs have the advantage but for the most part they'll check each other out, leaving depth to win it. Goaltending duels will win Nashville a couple of games but the Avs will surely just over-load Nashville eventually.

Depends how many games Big Sieve Dave plays.

Avs in 5

[kloubek]

Going with the Avalanche in 5. In fact, I'm going with them to win the West - even over Calgary.

[DeNiro]

Might as well change it to 1-0 Avs…

[Fanuck]

What are the going odds right now that Kadrina gets suspended in the PO? 

[-Vintage Canuck-]

This is a big loss for the Predators.

 

 

[Beary Sweet]

Avs in 5. Preds will fight but Avs’ talent is too much to overcome 

[DS4quality]

Avs will probably survive this round, but their defensive game is suspect at best.

Dude has avs glasses. But can he sing faster?

[-Vintage Canuck-]

The Predators blew a 4-0 lead against the Coyotes in their final regular season game. How can we expect them to beat the Avalanche?

[-Vintage Canuck-]

If you take a penalty against the Avalanche, they will make you pay. The Predators can’t afford to take penalties, especially with Saros out.

Dumb penalty = goal 

 

 

and another. 

[-Vintage Canuck-]

Boom. Two goals for the Avalanche in less than three minutes.

[Baratheon]

And they’re off!

[LionofJudah]

What a start

[King Heffy]

Preds really should have tried to get an NHLer to back up Saros.

[Ghostsof1915]

Av's want it this year.
