You can’t see the forest through the trees because you’re fixed with names on paper.Vancouver has a solid roster. Colorado has 2 guys who can take over games and has a solid roster. Dallas is incredibly deep up front and has a rock solid top 4. I don't think the Canucks get by either team. I picked them over Edmonton. They could win if goaltending implodes for Colorado or Dallas, but not if it doesn't. Oettinger can be streaky and Colorado never knows what they are getting in net.
Edmonton also has 2 guys that can take over games and they’ve largerly been kept in check by a Vancouver defense that is quick to close their gaps and forwards pitching in on the backcheck.
Give me the less ‘sexier’ team that has 100% bought into the their system and individual roles.
Dallas may present some problems, though, and I expect these two to battle it out next round.
