    Vegas will have a slow start to the series after losing 1st place in division.

    But they will end up winning in 6.

    Minny in 7.

    I had tons of skaters and goalies from both teams this season and everytime i thought Vegas had it in the bag it would go horribly wrong (benching/playing the right players given home/road considerations). pacioretty definitely isnt 100% and its clear their easiest goals come from stone/patches. kaprizov has powered up in the second half with 15 goals (and 8 assists) in his past 21 games. minnesota has the top 4 dcorps to keep all the games close and talbot has gotten hot in stretches this season.

    i do not believe minnesota would be able to beat colorado but they have a solid chance vs vegas. theyve had their number this season.

    Minnesota in 6. Minnesota is one of the few teams in the league that can match Vegas' depth up front. Minnesota has much better d than Vegas. The Wild have the best record in the NHL against Vegas.

    Yup, for an upset this is as in the making as it can get. I went Minny in 7. Cheered on COL last night just so this matchup would happen.

    Vegas in 6 as well. I think the Minnesota Kaprizovs put up a good fight and will be a team to watch over the next couple of years, but Vegas will turn it up when the lights are on bright

    This series, along with the Florida/TB series could give us upsets.

    I'm going with Vegas in 7 but an upset wouldn't surprise me either.

    I went Vegas in seven but could see Minny stealing this one. I stayed away from Vegas players in my playoff pools for that reason. That will either prove to be very wise or very foolish.
    Without me, it's only "aweso".

    Late entry but in my NHL Bracket Challenge I went with a Vegas sweep. Whoops.

    Was MAF starting expected here? Was pretty surprised when I saw it.

    I expected it to be MAF. But I haven't be following the goalie situation all that close.

    Now the question becomes what happens for game 2? Do they go with Fleury again or alternate like this did when healthy during season ?
