| Blue's in 6, maybe 5. Too big. Great goaltending duel with Blues having an option should the #1 fold or go down to injury. Offensively the King's should have an advantage, but coach and defensive system are a clear advantage for the Blue's. This whole team is buying into Hitchcock. |

Hard to say, before they playoffs I would have said STL but now im going LA in 6. Sutter has those boys playing their best.

The Blues scored 14 goals in 5 games
The Kings scored 12 goals in 5 games
So obviously there should be more than just 1 goal each. I don't think they will ALL be 1-0 nothing games, but when you have 2 of the hottest goaltenders playing against eachother, then maybe you will.
To me those are 2-1 games are the most exciting ones to watch anyway! |

Yeah, but that 3-1 game is gonna be an empty netter ;-)

| I think he refering to the goals against rather than the goals for. Both are stingy teams and I have to say Vancouver and San Jose have better offense than the Blues and Kings have, but clearly the goaltendig and defense is better for the Blues and Kings. I agree this could be a low scoring physical series. |

I voted Kings in 6.
Better goaltending, more experience, and more scoring (on paper, and I think in general, more talent).
But a tough one to pick for sure. And I think it will be another "bruiser" of a series, actually looking forward to it!
