Let’s Go Blues!!! As a lifelong Blues fan I have to say that I really did not want to see my team play the Wild in the first round. But I have a feeling that there are plenty of Minnesota fans that feel the same way. Gonna be a great series.Let’s Go Blues!!!

[ВячеславЦой-рт]

Будет заруба)Да все 3 матча регулярки проиграли но всё же надеюсь на Миннесоту!

The Blues are 12-1-1 in the past 14 meetings between the teams, spanning three seasons, and 13-1-2 all-time against the Wild under coach Craig Berube.

Kinda crazy that the first time the Blues will be in the Wild's arena this season is in the playoffs.

[christopherbeddoe]

Come on Wild.
Get it done this year.

Did not want to play the blues but we did not have single game at our actual hockey rink so hope we can win this

I will say the one of the biggest things the Blues have going for them is their offense. So many lethal forwards on their roster.

The only thing that’s questionable is their defense. They certainly don’t have the defensive depth they had in 2019. Wondering how that will reflect onto the goalies if they are forced to make untimely and clutch saves.

Key thing, talbot was in net for all these games

Blues are too good!! ..but.. MW have KK97...

[connor]

I am a die hard blues fan and I don’t usually count them out but playoff Fleury is hard to get passed and the Blues are playing poor defense right now regardless of the win streak. They can definitely hold their own but this series is gonna go to 7 games.

[grantreeves]

Blues have the ability to sweep the Wild imo

[JarradBruessel]

It's hard to decide who Minnesota should play here. In 21 games talbot has a .892 save percentage and a 3.27 g.a.a. versus st. Louis in his career but fleury has been struggling the last 5 games with his last start only being decent because Colorado sat half of their roster. Fleury has a .912 save percentage and a 2.76 g.a.a. against st. Louis in 23 games in his career.

Nah fam flower and kaprizov and fiala go god mode wild in 5

[patrickjohnson]

3 close games. I think the Wild come looking for vengeance and take it in 5.

[mattwebb]

Minnesota is a great team. I'm not sure this will work out the same way in the playoffs. Hopefully Rosen will be in for Bortuzzo.

[obeydmax]

No dog on this playoff series between the two, but by virtue of playoff experience and former SC Champ I'd pick Blues over Wild. It will not be easy, but this will be a heavyweight pressure tilt. Blues in 7.

Battle of the offense-oriented team(Blues) vs defense-oriented(Minny)

[joelarnold]

I thought right before the playoffs were confirmed that home ice was going critical. The issue with the series in the season was that they played the winter classic in which a lot of fans for both side can attend making it not really a home game. I’m from the stl area but I still think that with the energy will be good for Minnesota. How the series goes depends on the weaknesses of both teams

Remember: regular season performances don’t translate to playoffs

Getting hyped for the game listening to The Urge (should be there band) we'll receive the gift of flavor from the Stanley Cup! Blues have VT91...now add another 1 cause MW is gonna need to call it 🤣👍
