  1. As always, using what happened in 2019 to predict what may happen in 2025 is absolutely ridiculous. Both teams are totally different now.

  2. Blues are definitely playing with house money, speaking as a blues fan. I'm happy to be here and i'd like to not be swept but either way i'm happy.

    That being said, Blues in 5.

  3. This matchup is closer to a coin toss. Blues with the better record since Feb. 1st, even more so since March 1st. Recent performance is most important. No reason to think the Blues are big underdogs.

  4. Blues fan, I think if Holloway isn't close to 100% we're going to have a very difficult time winning this series. Looks like special teams will play a big part. That Winnepeg streak of 41-0-1 has to end some time…

  5. Good luck to Winnipeg fans, let’s have a good series with no injuries, ref shenanigans, or controversy!

  6. Ed Belfore was just on St. Louis Radio yesterday and said Let's go Blues never in my life would have expected that, LGB

  7. The Blues is the league’s best dark horse. They are easy to underestimate because none of their guys are flashy big name players going in. Even ppl had doubts about Binny going into the 4 Nations tourney saying stuff like he fluked out a Cup win or his winning ways are a thing of the past.

  8. Blues fan. Yup I am bias. But I think Kyrou is going to go off in this series. Binnington vs. Hellebuyck. Didn't we just see that in February?

  9. As a Blues fan I’d like to thank Boston ownership and front office. Our future seems bright again. Just glad we’re here. Would love to see a run!!

  10. 6 years ago I watched the same video only it was the first time I ever saw shannon's face. 6 years later wow have things changed.

  11. I have been picking the Jets for the cup since mid season because of just dominant they can be when they are on. Finishing #1 and getting to play the hottest team in the nhl for the last 30 games seems like a dirty trick fate is playing , but my money is still on the Jets.

    It’s not just that the Jets win games. Its how they win that impressed me so much this year. I am not a Jets fan or in their market either. They had the luxury of kind of coasting during the last 10 games, and giving some players lower workloads .

    The first game is going to tell us a lot about how tough this series will be.

  12. The biggest key is again Binnington versus Hellebuch. Binnington is streaky but besides the 2019 Cup winner also likely would have beaten the Avs three seasons ago if not for the Kadri incident. Hellebuch has had a great season and they both were key in the 4 Nations tournament. The Blues will miss Holloway if he does not return. I hope it is a great series, but you never know if a team keeps winning close games. I agree with your review.

  13. I think the telling thing for this series is the final regular season game between these two teams. The Jets ended the Blues' 12 game streak in dominant fashion, absolutely smothering them defensively. The Jets do that again starting on Saturday, and I don't think the Blues stand a chance.

  14. I think it's going to take 6 games, these teams are pretty even defensively.

    Hellebuyck had a rough playoffs last year, but the rest of the team didn't make it easy for him either. Defense went out the window after the Avs started scoring, and if Helle can't see it, he can't stop it. I hope for a better outcome this year.

  15. I got the Jets in 6 on this, I think the nikolaj ehlers injury is concerning but I still think the Jets powerplay will be too much for a weak St Louis PK to handle

  16. Tough series. For both teams actually. If St Louis had a healthy Holloway I would say Blues in 6. Jets are a beast. But even with out Holloway Blues match up well with them. Prediction ….. every game close ….. Blues in Game 7 OT winner 3-2 and Blues win in 7. LGB !!

  17. I’d be higher on the blues due to them being the hottest team going into the playoffs & probably would’ve picked them over the knights… but I think the jets will go FAR

  18. I’m really hoping for a blues series win. The season is already considered a success based on the retool but there are a lot of players in this roster that need playoff experience. So proud of this team. Let’s go blues!

  19. The Blues started playing hot to close out the season, that can oft make one a dangerous team. And as a former Thrashers fan, I hope jets never win a single game for all eternity.
