2017 WCQF: St. Louis Blues vs. Minnesota Wild

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

I feel like all the best matchups aren't going to happen in the first round.  It's still early to see what will happen in the West, but the best matchups would be.

 

Toronto vs. Ottawa

Chicago vs. St. Louis

Calgary vs. Edmonton

Anaheim vs. San Jose

 

All rivalries between teams in the same province (state).  Yes, Eastern St. Louis is in Illinois, so it sorta counts.  

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Blues in 6

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Hopefully the Wild take care of business here. 

[NerveDamage 4,176]

Go Wild!

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Worth noting that Mike Yeo is coaching St. Louis right now; he coached the Wild in 2015 when they took down the Blues then.

but isn't that, like, a good thing? I mean, the puck drop is what gets the game started...

wouldn't "Roofing it", or "Icing it" be more appropriate?

I know, I was thinking that roofing is also with a ball...

ah blues in 6 

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Parise ties it late...OT! 

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Blues win Game 1 in OT, meh.

The Blues are still the only franchise from the 1967 expansion who haven't won a Cup. They've had some damn good teams over the years, but can never seem to get it done. Don't see that changing this year. Dubnyk has been a wall this season.

My Pick: Blues

[krsmith17 7,191]

Blues in 6.

[NerveDamage 4,176]

I hope I can stay awake for the Shaks Oilers. Fell asleep last game when they were up 2-0 and woke up when the game had ended, just saw the score like, wtf happened?

Go Wild! 

[amato 3,210]

Dubnyk needs to get those bricks out of his glove  nice shot 

[NerveDamage 4,176]

boom! what a goal Stl up by 1 with 2:27 to go on the 3rd

[NerveDamage 4,176]

I really like that Minn Jersey, gives me a vibe similar to  our '14 Winter Classic One.

Blues take both games and take the series back to St Louis

Little heartbreak at the end there.. beat by the buzzer. 

[NerveDamage 4,176]

but like for a long, long time. Wish they had tied it though...

Anyways onto SJS-EDM I go

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Minny be in some trouble.
