Western Conference Second Round: (1) Dallas Stars vs (3) Colorado Avalanche

[PenguinHunter]

I went Dallas in 6. Dallas beat a very strong Vegas team and is battle tested.

Colorada played a team that didn't show up in Round 1.

I'll take Dallas in 6. They have such a solid balance of veteran leadership and young talent and enough depth to challenge Colorado's weaker bottom 6. Colorado leans too heavily on their top 3, as long as Dallas avoids taking too many penalties they should have this.

I like Dallas. I want Dallas. I picked Dallas from the beginning.

But something is pulling me to Colorado...............

[forsbergfan]

Avs in 7. Just because i want a McDavid vs Mackinnon conference final rematch.

[Grapes]

Aa a Colorado fan my opinion is completely biased . Av’s in 5

[loppantorkel]

Any news about Landeskog?

[The Comish]

Dallas in 6, but this one could go either way.

Aves in 6, I don't think Dallas has the game breakers like Colorado.

They don't, but they managed to shut Avs game breakers down enough so far. Pretty impressive. Should be a few more good games, and I wonder if not whoever comes through from this series will be the favorite of the next, regardless of opponent.

So far the kid Wyatt Johnston is my vote for Conn Smythe. Waaay to early but he’s looking like a playoff vet.

That steal on Makar. Wow.

[Daydream Nation]

Now, Dallas has to be the heavy Cup favorite. The WCF will be their easiest round of the playoffs.

Would love to see them win, as they were my Cup winner pick in the preseason panel.......cough cough.....to beat the Devils.
