    I think the Avs are just way to powerful vs the Blues. I am not sure Binner / Husso are up to the task of that high powered Avs offense. I think both teams will score a lot, but I think over the course of the series the Avs just have to much firepower. Avs in 6.

    Picked the blues in this matchup pre playoffs, so I'm not changing my mind now.

    Avalanche is the logical choice but if a team can slow them down, it's the Blues.
    Imo, St. Louis is actually deeper up front and has the grit and experience to make this a long series.
    Going for the upset because there are always surprises. STL in 7.
    Points-only keeper league. 12 teams. Keep any 12 players. Dress 12F - 6D - 2G.

    Avs in 5. Mackinnon is on a mission and they have better dman and goalie depth than in previous seasons.

    I gotta go Avs here, I like Kuemper better then the two headed monster they got going on in STL, plus the Avs D is just insane on how quick they can transition the puck and activate to create more offense. Makar, Girard, Toews, Byram, all amazing at breaking out any which way, be it through a pass or skating it through, that's hard to defend against and hard to maintain pressure against as well.

    Up front, I agree with others, it's pretty even, I think the Avs have a couple of the best forwards in the series/league, but STL is deep up front and can essentially roll three scoring lines. Avs need to try to shut down three lines, Blues really need to just focus on one, but that Avs D is so damn good it almost acts as another 1st line for them.
