#4 St. Louis vs. #5 Los Angeles playoff thread

[dash]

This should be a humdinger of a series, physical and I'm thinking low scoring.

I don't think we have any Blues fans here, but good luck to davnlaguna and HNF...

I am really pulling for Hitch and the Blues. Really not much to dislike about that team.



(except TJ Oshie)

The Blues were swept last year by the Kings. They didn't win a single game against them during the season. So the big question is CAN the Blues win 1 game against the Kings in this series?

No better time than game one tonight - If they lose tonight, I feel they could be in deep trouble.

I just don't like the matchup for the Blues. They don't have 1 forward on their entire roster who can be considered a legit big time goal scorer. The Kings on the other hand have plenty of them. The Blues are making a mistake by sitting Tarasenko. He's the one true game breaker they have.

Screw the Blues. Go Kings, go! \o/

Let's Go Blues!!!

Lets go Flyers!

Dutter got his Cup ring last year, ergo I'm rooting for the Blues, but I think the Kings will prevail.

This will be called the Black and Blue series by somebody after they count all the hits

Quick went for a skate and almost got caught...

Shame Quick didn't get a chance to pulverize that little bitch Perron.

Perron is the Western Conference Brad Marchand...

PP goal by Alex Steen stakes the Blues to a 1-0 lead...

Nice and physical so far. St. Louis is rocking.

Whoever plays the winner of this series will have an advantage. I imagine the winning team will be beat up more than a typical 1st round series.

 

[davnlaguna]

Kings played like garbage most of the period. Done by one. I can hope they come back in the second.

 

[puckhead]

holy shit, talk about coming out like caged gorillas.
this is terrific to watch.

Kings a post and 0.6 seconds away from tying it up after being brutally outplayed

Frack, Adam Cracknell never played this well for the Flames...
