Who Do You Prefer in the Second Round?

[The Merchant]

Swept the Blues. Swept Nashville. Time for Minnesota.

 

[Frenchy]

I want to Blues and Wild to beat the crap out of eachother and the the series to go in 7.
Then, i want the Avs to face the most injured team .

 

[The Moops]

I don't care either way. But seeing another Dizee meltdown is always a good time

 

[HockeyFan100]

Better hope we get the Mild cause with Perron being healthy now, I don't think the Refalanche stand a chance against the Blues. Not to mention after one solid game, vintage playoff Binnington is back too.



But in all seriousness, it doesn't matter. We should beat either team.

 

[Islay1989]

IDGAF, whoever gets there will have the same odds as a bug against a windshield.

 

[niwotsblessing]

Right now, both the players and coaches of the bLose and the Mild are thinking to themselves: "If we win this series, we're on track for 8 wasted days."

 

[Reparlana]

Green filth is better team then bLose. Also perron is healthy so they'll sweep us.

You saw that post too eh? Lol

 

[Spender]

A healthy Blues is better IMO. Wild doesn't scare me at all.

 

[Bonzai12]

Prefer florida

lets just cut straight to the chase

 

[McMetal]

I don't think my heart could take another series loss to the Wild, or another second round exit. Both at once would probably kill me stone cold dead.

In all seriousness, though, I would rather the Blues. They aren't a fundamentally different team than the one we blew out last year. Better, but not really that different in their core, and both of their goalies have been proven to be human in these playoffs. Minnesota is a well coached team with a true superstar at forward, and maybe the dregs of a legendary goalie in net could steal the series.

Whatever happens, I don't want that series to go 7. I think the benefits of playing in a key game 7 and winning outweigh the downsides of playing more games. You get too much momentum and morale from winning a game 7, I sincerely hope that whoever wins tonight finishes it out on Thursday.

Blues feels easier. If we can’t beat the mild though then we don’t belong anywhere near the cup. Wouldn’t mind beating the mild to take off some of the “west conference f***ing sucks!” asterisks that will inevitably come if we win the cup

 

[The Kingslayer]

Would be hilarious if the revenge tour happens.

Nashville>Minny>Dallas and then Florida because f*** you Claude.

 

[deleted user]

You'll decimate either one. Scary team this year.

 

[TatteredTornNFrayed]

Too bad we can't knock both out, but I guess we'll have to settle for one.

 

[The Pwnerer]

San Jose, Dallas and Vegas were overall stronger opponents. No excuses this year, just win.

That's what I think but @Balthazar disagrees

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

St. Louis is probably the easier matchup. I’m fine either way. I think a series with Minnesota would be really entertaining 6/7 game war.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

I don't care. Either team is fine with me. Blues are stronger up front than last year but they are weaker at D especially with their injuries right now.

The Mild are more balanced than the Blues and their goaltending could be better if either of Fleury or Talbot gets hot. And they also have Kaprizov but if you take care of him then they have much less up front to worry about.

It would be nice though to take care of all past demons in NAS, Mild and Dallas in the same year. Then we can make Giroux regret not to pick us (if FLA make it to the SCF which I doubt). Maybe the NHL can include an extra series for us this year against the Sharks to take care of that demon also.

 

[henchman21]

I’d rather Minny… more fun team to watch.

 

[22FUTON9]

I’m confident either way but either a revenge tour or beating up all our former players would be nice.

So one of
Duchene RoR Barrie
Or
Nashville Minny Dallas

Edit: Giving it a second thought, Edmonton making it that far would be annoying so I’d rather go the revenge tour route.

 

[Freaky Styley]

Voted don't care, cause I don't. But if Minnesota is the tougher opponent give them. Would rather beat a hard team and silence all doubters. Plus my disdain for Minny is stronger this year and I would be filled with more hate and passion every game. They have some nice forwards, but come on. Their D and G are far inferior to us. They don't scare me.

EDIT: I've decided it's funnier if the Wild lose in the first round

 

[The Shermanator]

Minnesota and Deslaurier will kill one of our D.

 

[wayninja]

Minny has had it comin' for a long time. No fear, just revenge.

 

[Cypher]

Rather STL. Minny is a dirtier team, and STL have a banged up d core and Kadri can easily throw Binnington off his game (if you can even say he has game).
