hf101 Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Although the Blues have home ice and may even win the first two, I think the Kings will overcome and win this matchup in 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Elliott is playing out of his mind since the shoring up of the defense with Bouwmeester and Leopold, the Kings have stumbled and bumbled down the stretch. I think they will make it a series but Hitchcock will pull this one out in 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilldoc Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 One of the few 1st round matchups that should be entertaining. Kings have struggled this season. Carter and Richards still have SC hangover. I'm going Blues in 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxpin Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I don't see a poll on this one.Kings in 5. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaskaFlyerFan Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 This is going to be the most brutal series in the first round. Kings in 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbelMorpheus Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I think this will be the must see of the first round. St. Louis with 13 double digit point players, LA with 14. 498 pim for STL, 453 for LA. Don't take a penalty against either club. STL had 29 pp goals and LA had 32. Elliot is 2.28/.907, Quick is 2.45/.902. They finished 2nd and 3rd in fewest shots allowed.This one is so close. LA has owned the Blues for a while and they swept the season series. But the Kings had a 7-6 April while the Blues went 11-2. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is the year STL breaks free. Blues in 7.

yave1964 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 How many goals will be scored in this series? Will one other series have a GAME that outscores this series? Two great defenses with meh offenses and top goalies. My kind of hockey. Of course, I also love bad hockey like the Pens and Flyers played last year in the playoffs, an occsional 7-5 game is a blast too....

flyercanuck Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Maybe the toughest series to pick IMO. Does the Kings hangover continue or do they magically throw the switch? Kings in 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyS Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Kings in 5.Quick >>> ElliotThat sweep last year will be in their heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyerrod Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Kings in 5 is my bet too. Quick will be rounding into playoff form right on time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxpin Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Kings have beaten St. Louis 7 straight going back to last year's playoffs, yes? I haven't looked; it's only what I heard on NHL Home Ice this morning. I expect a snoozefest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 The poll is back for anyone not getting their predictions in. I think the Kings take this in 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaris922 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Quick gave away game 1... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyS Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Man, that was brutal. The Kings had a 4 minute power play in OT and Quick just brain-farted. All he needed to do was move the puck, but he tried to get cute with it.If they manage to lose this series, that one is going to hurt.And the Kings tied it up with about 30 seconds to go in regulation. Should have been a big win for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
