First round "upsets"

Wild aren't playing well though. Do you suddenly think they will turn it on in the playoffs? Blues have had to grind it out a bit more.

If Wild are on their game they win it but watch Blues go in there and win game 1

Canadiens over Rags imo

They have the right tools imo also the coach has done well in the playoffs while Rags coach hasn't . Plus I like the goaltending more.

What are the numbers for Julien?

Been reading more on Vignaeult it looks like both coaches are almost identical, defensive-minded. I'll be going with Unders in this series.

I won't act like I know so much , I still have a lot to learn but I do read a lot of articles and coaching edge was in favour of Julien because of better winning % in the playoffs but also I just read an article and it says there is no coaching edge because both coaches are so identical. Also maybe one coach has been in the playoffs more than the other so those numbers could be scewed

I spoke too soon

But I am still going with Montreal and Unders in this series .

Also where do you find all this info? Like say I want to find a head coaches record in the playoffs, where can I find it? Been looking for a site that goes into detail about playoff stats

Yeah against Avs twice and Yotes. Sens weren't in the game from the get go either they looked lost. I never watched the Canes/Wild game. I'm not talking about the last 5-6 games though, I mean the way they lost the Central and went on a big slide. Blues have been holding it together for a bit here. It might be a close series but I'll be going with Blues unless something comes up that turns me away

Imo WIld peaked too early . Dubnyk can be leaky sometimes

That was a good read. Thanks
