[mundyc3]

With the Avalanche game deciding our fate tomorrow for Round 1, felt it would be a good idea to get a feel on how fans are feeling about the best match up for the Knights.

Strictly between these two I'd rather the Yotes. Kane/Toews/Keith scare the piss out of me.

The Knights best outcome though is whatever allows them to avoid St. Louis in round 2. Let the Avs and Blues duke it out.

If the hawks hadn't finally worked out how to win against us, I'd go with them hands down

It doesn't matter much which team to play against. Vegas must beat either of the two opponents.

Don't forget Crawford. He's playing really well right now.
Edit- I just looked up his stats... eh, maybe the eye test was deceiving.

I watched every second of that series and thought Crawford was awful....... until about halfway through game 4 when he started playing like his old self.

Re: Crawford, you have to wonder how much physical (and mental) decreased after his COVID19 diagnosis.


He missed most of (the long) training camp.

Insert Captain Obvious meme here.

Both. At the same time.

Sounds good to me.

That's how Fleury and Lehner can play in all games of PO

I think Arizona is an easier match because they are a less variable type team. Their highest high is not where Chicago can get to and in a short series its better to play a team that can't just get crazy hot. I don't even think they played that well, Edmonton is just truly atrocious in the back end and the Hawks just took advantage of it. They just might come up with another level that puts our defense on their back foot and that worries me. The Coyotes are just a structure team that avoids beating themselves, but unless they get a lot of good bounces or their opponent just plays poorly making mistakes, they really are not going to rise up and be the better team.
