Nashville vs Dallas
It seems like Dallas is a bit of a trendy pick, but like most trends, this one sucks!
The Predators are sort of like the Leafs in that their regular season featured a successful 100 points, and yet people aren’t exactly as high on them as maybe they should be/ were.
Much like the Leafs the Predators have the kind of roster that will make the regular season moot.
They’ve got the goalie, they’ve got the best blueline in the NHL and they’ve got more scoring and talent upfront that most people think.
If you just follow the Toronto Maple Leafs, the player to watch here is secret NHL superstar Viktor Arvidsson. He is insanely good, he scored 34 goals in just 58 games, which is roughly a 50 goal pace.
The Stars feature that guy who called his best players crappy even though his team features very little depth and relies heavily on their goalie to be successful.
I like the Predators for an absolute crushing here, but Bishop will keep it closer than it appears, and it will take six games for Nashville to emerge victorious.
