Sean over at Down goes brown has pegged at Blues Hawks first round match up at 50% probable and the most entertaining of all the first round match ups.

His independent view is that Hitch is definitely gone if we don't get passed the first round, and that the Blues are going to take the 'should go deep in the playoffs but don't' title from the Sharks.

To be fair, he words it as the Blues are "poised" to take the title - not that they will.

Predators are quite glad Blues and hawks face each other in 2 of final 5 games. Increases their odds of winning conference and really secure they will have home ice in round one.

I'm nervous about the Blues schedule making for a very rough finish, likely starting them on the road. Of course, that could be a good thing with this team

The last 3 years we started at home and went up 2-0 and lost. Imagine if we went up 2-0 on the road coming home. Now that could break the curse lol.
