Yes, it will start on Thursday and most likely end on Friday.
Thank you NHL

Question whatever you want. Trouba is the better player this year. Perhaps Heiskanen will improve but he is not close to Trouba physically and Trouba had a 50 point season.If you take Trouba over Heiskanen I question your ability to evaluate hockey players.
Seguin - Benn - Radulov are serious scoring threats on the top line, and had some great shifts against the Preds. Containing that line is a key to this series.

What stats back up your opinion? He was a 50 point player this year and you don’t get 42 assists by being terrible.Trouba ****ing sucks though. Bout one of the most braindead defenders

Good comparison. May I suggest converting the non-percentage statistics into per 60 numbers? I think it would make a better comparison given the sample sizes aren't equal and a per 60 number would make those numbers easier to contextualize. Don't feel like you have to go back and do that if it's a lot of work though lol.I thought I'd share some statistics I pulled from Natural Stat Trick. These are compiled starting from January 1st, which includes 42 games for Dallas and 45 for St. Louis. It might be a bit disingenuous to not include to full season, but the Blues are really a completely different team now than they were to start the year.
Most advanced stats favor us pretty heavily. While I think the Blues are the better team, I don't think the difference is as significant as the data suggests (again, this is a pretty favorable timeline/sample size for the Blues). Dallas's team defense has been very strong all season, and their top line is scoring at will right now. And of course everyone knows how good Ben Bishop is when healthy. Dallas also has some interesting young players who played significant roles in their series win against Nashville, most notably Heiskanen and Hintz. I'm excited to see how they perform relative to our own young guys, Dunn and Thomas.
Overall, I think I'd favor the Blues' chances going into the series, but it will definitely be a hard-fought and heavy series that could go either way. I'll say Blues in 6.

Jake Gardiner had that many points last year........What stats back up your opinion? He was a 50 point player this year and you don’t get 42 assists by being terrible.
Question whatever you want. Trouba is the better player this year. Perhaps Heiskanen will improve but he is not close to Trouba physically and Trouba had a 50 point season.
Oh jesus, so that's where Backes and Brouwer went? They're being sold at the market now.In 16, the Blues had Klingberg scared to retrieve pucks because Backes and Brouwer turned into peanut butter, he bailed on pucks. Do that again.
Agreed but I'd put Connor Scheifle Wheeler ahead of them.
Blues wont take Dallas lightly. I'm not taking anything away from Dallas but everyone wanted to play Nashville....they're going to be playing a bigger, faster and higher scoring team.....they're going to have to earn this series inch by inch.

Haha that’s a 3:30a.m. start time for me. Guess I’ll have to be late for work again. At least I don’t have to listen to the NBC muppets, only time I prefer watching a German or French broadcast.Yes, it will start on Thursday and most likely end on Friday.
Thank you NHL
First, Trouba is not the Jets #3 defender and his ice time is second only to Byfuglien. Second, Trouba's or Heiskanen's play in one series (against different opponents) is a really weak sample size. Third, points and hits are not the only way to compare the two players, but you have failed to provide anything else for discussion. As I said earlier, think what you want of my opinion but right now I would take Trouba over Heiskanen on the ice with no other factors involved (age, salary, other rostered players).Sadly for Trouba he is absolute garbage at things like zone exits and what not and we kinda showed that in the series we just played. Also, Trouba out did Petro in points and hits, so I guess he’s better then him, making us winning round 1 more impressive since the Jets No.3 defender is apparently better then our 1.
I mean, it's gotta be Oreilly, right?Which line do the Blues match against the Seguin line? The series depends on stopping them.
It was a really good break down. After reading that it seems to me like the key to this series will be beating Bishop, the numbers he has posted the last few months are insane.For those who have The Athletic this is a good article previewing the series.
