WCQF/CDSF: (C1) Nashville Predators vs (WC1) Dallas Stars | Stars lead 3-2

[GoldOnGold]

Surprised so many people in here writing off the Stars so easily. We've had a really tough time playing against them, especially when Khudobin is in net. I think this series goes long and could end up going either way.

got the horses in the bacccc

 

[Tomas W]

Nadhville got to be the favorite in this one.

 

[crump]

Polak's time of year. Goalies will be the difference, still think Nashville takes it though.

 

[Canuck16]

Whats the status/ETA on Zuccarello ?

 

[mooncalf]

I think this will be a long series. Bishop keeps it close, but Preds win in 7.

 

[DougieSmash]

Stars in 7.

 

[KevinRedkey]

I force myself to pick a sweep every 1st round, so I picked this one. Nashville in 4, despite my better judgement.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Whats the status/ETA on Zuccarello ?

He's already been back for 2-3 games, so he's good to go for Game 1.

 

[SotasicA]

I think Predators are the slight favourites, but this is practically a complete coin flip. This should be a very low scoring series. 1-0 and 2-1 scores.

Comes down to who blinks first. I think the Preds have the better defensive material and they get it done, in a very close series. But I'm just as likely to be wrong.

Jordin 22 is a rat and hot chicken is garbage.

No it isn't. You just can't handle the heat.

 

[PredsV82]

Dallas in 6

Most shocking prediction ever.

 

[Kranix]

This seems like the country music series

I'll bet you 1000 dollars it will not be a sweep for Smashville.

 

[SotasicA]

On one hand, I love watching the playoff games in Nashville. On the other hand, I really wish Dallas had drawn one of the other teams they could've faced because Nashville is the only one they didn't have a winning record against this season.

I also think the Stars would prevail against the Flames. But Preds defense is really going to give them a hard time. Definitely not a good fit for a team already struggling to score.

[The Note]

Has the potential to be like Blues-Kings back in 2014 with a bunch of 2-1, 1-0 games. Awful series looking back on it. Predators in 6.

 

[ThirdManIn]

The very first battle for the country music cup.

Twenty years ago or so it might be worth fighting for, but in 2019 Texas can have the Country Music Cup. They need something to admire while eating their shitty BBQ.

The very first battle for the country music cup.

Not a bad idea to help stoke a rivalry. Hockey (sadly) needs this kind of schmaltz for promotional purposes. Maybe a trade of Dolly Parton for Willie Nelson (or Kelly Clarkson?) or something between the mayor's would be fun. Yes, Willie is Austin, but still works in general.

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

Bishop was a monster down the stretch when he played



Dobby had two wins in Nashville but no way he starts game 1.

I had no clue how nuts Bishop was down the stretch. Wow. Pretty much helped push them over the finish line himself with that kind of performance. The bigger problem is, maintaining that level of performance is borderline impossible for even the best goaltenders. If you're going to need elite-level Bishop to beat Nashville (and you will), then you better hope that the come-down either doesn't arrive yet or that the skaters can absorb it enough to get by.

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Stars are coming in hot and that is without Zucc for most of those games.

Dallas in 7.

Fake Boobs vs Fake Country

I'm having a hard time figuring out which is which, here.

I mean....Dolly Parton's the pride of Tennessee, soooooo........

Pretty sure both Dallas and Nashville have plenty of each.

I can see this one going to 7. I watched a Stars/Predators game this year and the Stars played the Preds pretty tough.

That said I'm going with the home ice advantage here. Preds pull it out in 7.

 

[ElGuapo]

Stars in six. I have a feeling they're going to continue to be extremely hard to score on and Zuccarello is going to make a difference.
