My Prediction: Blues in 7 Games.. (not really a big fan of either team but i think the Blues will win)

If a tree falls in the forest, and nobody is around to hear it, does it actually make a sound? Not trying to know the fins in Minny or Saint Lou... but this smacks of the series that everyone will say "oh yeah, I forgot that one was on"

Fortunately, lots of attention isn't needed for the Wild to win in 6.

Probably the only guy here who will be watching this series lol (Go Wild Go!) but this will be a close one.
Wild in 6, games close in score.

Yeah, this is the sleeper series! Nobody pays much attention unless one of these teams goes DEEP, or there's some kind of controversy right off the hop! Wild in 7, but only because of their fans!

Jake Allen is having himself a night! Forty-three saves as we are in the final minute!

Praise with the last minute heroics!

I don't doubt you guys that this series isn't on most people's radar, but it should be.
A team that went to the Conference Finals last year, beating the incumbent Hawks and then the Stars on the way there.
vs
A team that led the league's most competitive division in recent years, the Central Division, for much of this season.

Still, most of the coverage this year is on the unusual amount of decent Canadian teams in the playoffs. ;)
