Completely unfair to have last years WCF be a Round 1 match up this year. But hoping Dallas gets the job done this time and takes out the cap cheaters.

Hoping Vegas starts Hill in net, he’s been absolute trash since coming back from injury. No chance this guy catches fire again like he did last year. Im guessing they start Thompson.

Special teams, special plays, special players
Not optimistic about this one simply for the fact that the vEeGeEkAY were the only team in the Western Conference that the Stars didn't get at least 1 win against.

Yea, but since we played them last (December 9th), Vegas has a 27-24-3 record. It's been all downhill for them, and it's only gonna continue.

Don't really know what to make of Vegas, they haven't really played a game as a full team yet. Tough to find that kind of cohesion in less than a week but on paper they're formidable and much better than a wildcard. Dallas is a full on wagon, tons of depth and a real solid blueline.
Going to go with the Stars in 6 but I'm not super confident in it. Pretty shit prize to win the West and take on a team with that kind of budget. Although going through a battle like that in the first round might just be what galvanizes them and takes them all the way.

My cup winner vs last years winner. Dallas a complete wagon and this Vegas team might be better on paper than last years team
Dallas in 7

Stars just do not matchup well against Vegas for whatever reason. Very even teams for the most part whenever they face each other (get ready for probably 3 OT games minimum in this series), but the difference is Vegas has had some really clutch plays by guys while the Stars just can never seem to get that final goal outside of the slightly meaningless Pavelski OT winner last year which was when we were down 3-0 in the series. Will that change this year? Not sure, I need to see it to believe it. Stars have just sucked in playoff OT ever since Radulov and Klingberg left.
Whoever wins this series though, I for some reason feel like it'll be in 6 games.

O yes they have one of those. He goes by the name Alex Pietrangelo.
- Stone is a whiny piece of shit who I wish nothing good for.
- Eichel is such a strange af looking mfer. Looks like what a Furby would look like if you shaved all its fur off.
- I'm sure there's some other
on there I can't stand because he takes cheapshots at folks.
But the rest of their team I don't have any strong feelings about, lol.
Stars would be wise to finish every check on him because he'll eventually retaliate. Hope he gets trucked all series.

You could have guranteed it was Dallas if you mentioned the golf course in stead of home.

I don’t think anybody is predicting Hill to catch fire again like he did last year. Last year was a once in a lifetime moment for him. I would start Thompson to see how he fares. Hill has been trash since coming back from his injury.

Definitely not the "prize" you want for winning the west. The depth Dallas enjoyed by drafting and developing well is overcome by a team with a much higher budget thanks to LTIR. Adding Stone, Mantha and Hertl is a whole first line. Plus they have playoff experience up the wazoo. Knights in 7.

I hope Dallas crushes Vegas. I hate that team with a passion.
Vegas is like the Jake Paul of hockey.

Whitecloud and Hague are legitimately busted. I preferred Dallas over Edmonton for round 1 but just because there's an off chance a less relentless offense might give the Knights a better chance to clamp down and get their defensive structure back in order.
But I'm just not seeing it. Short of Thompson unlocking hero goalie mode and the Knights remembering how to play winning playoff hockey, I think this is Stars in 6.
Implying Jake Paul has any achievements of note.

Just the part that he has fans, but most people tune in to watch him get knocked out.
