Central Division Final: (3) St. Louis Blues vs. (4) Nashville Predators

[PenguinHunter]

I took Blues in 7... looks like I'm solidly in the minority lol

Nobody is giving the Blues any credit... they just got Stastny and Lehtera back... should win more faceoffs then they did in round 1... and Allen is playing unreal...

I think the Preds will come in overconfident and Blues will take them by surprise at the start to steal a game or two.

As well as the Preds did against the Blackhawks, I have a tough time seeing the eight seed coming in as overconfident. It will be interesting to see how these two teams come out though. The team that steals game one may set the tone for the series and just run with it.

[Pit Bulls]

NAS is much faster and younger than STL and I don't see Allen stealing the series.

Preds in 6.

Did anyone see the play in the 2nd where a Blues player was down on the ice when Nashville had the puck in the StL end on the PP....and the whistle was blown! What was the difference between that and what happened with Pitt and CBJ???

Didn't see it, but where was he in relation to the play?

He was right in the middle of it. Could have been a factor not wanting Subban pegging him with bombs from the point.

He was almost in the same spot that Werenski was in. I didn't have the sound on the game so didn't hear what they said....was just curious.

Ok now I'm at the point where I want Nashville to lose game 5 so I can get more points from them in my pool!

Puck went to the point didn't it? Meaning the guy was in between the puck and the net. Also based on the refs discretion, so he could have blown the Penguins play dead if they hadn't had scored.

I bet Nash in 6 so i want a Blues win in their next game.

This is important. Doesn't matter where we was in relation to the net, it matters where he was in relation to the play. He was "in danger". In that case you automatically blow to protect the player. In the Pens game, Werenski wasn't in immediate danger, so the play wasn't blown.

A little bet between the mayors of each city for this series. Adding to the rivalry being developed on the ice.

Country music vs. The Blues
