I hope so but their play of late (especially goalie and defense) have been uninspiring.  Blues are a tough draw. Who thought they would play so well after trading shattenkirk? And with Yeo at the helm? 
I think you're confusing this Blues teams with those ones that were good.

Yeo is a good coach, not surprising at all to me.

 
Division Semis:

Metropolitan

C2 Minnesota vs C3 Blame Elliotts ; 4-1

Pacific
P1 Anaheim vs WC1 Calgary ; 4-3
P2 Edmonton vs P3 San Jose ; 4-2

I look forward to people getting very upset over these

 
the way the Caps look, I think they'll win the Cup to go with the President's Trophy.

Hawks look best of the west, but at some point, someone needs to start beating them regularly.

Will all depend on which goalies get hot.

Ken Hitchcock back to Dallas. Interesting to see how that works for Seguin.

3. The coaching roulette wheel stops next in Dallas, as soon as Thursday. It will be Ken Hitchcock. When Stars general manager Jim Nill said last weekend that he’d already interviewed a few candidates, one of them was Hitchcock. Hitchcock has a history with owner Tom Gaglardi and president Jim Lites. He didn’t have one with Nill, and the two had to break bread. It’s clear this came from up top, and things are going to be different. It sounds like Hitchcock will get a one-year deal with an option to become a consultant with the team if he is not retained as head coach. More clarity will come on Thursday.
not sure why Winnipeg is holding onto this guy:

15. Winnipeg GM Kevin Cheveldayoff has reiterated his support for Paul Maurice. We’ve reported before the coach is expected to discuss an extension in the off-season and Cheveldayoff’s comments indicate that remains the case.

As an Edmontonian, I can confirm that this is true. 

Edit: This post might give away where the lone Oiler vote came from. 
There is strength in numbers. GB :hifive:

Although I didn't vote for the mighty Oil to win the Cup. :bag:

Next round.... will be many upsets here.
CLBS over WASH

MINN over CHI

CLBS vs EDM in the finals.  EDM wins.

Both goalies get hot and carry them through.

 
lol at Igor Barbasol being the #1 center for blame elliott.  they're not even trying.  cast off Yeo must have willed this team himself or they'd be looking at what, a top 5 pick? maybe another KHLer is still available to round out their top 6 with some actual "pros".

:lmao:

Finishing 4th in the Metropolitan really turned out to be a blessing for the Rangers the way things shook out. No Pens / Caps / Jackets until the conference finals.

 
When I opened this thread there was a poll that criminally overlooked the Leafs as a selection.

OK, my Buds are not going to even sniff the opportunity of beating the Caps, but c'mon, if the Kings could win the cup from an 8th seed in 2012, anything can happen.

Totally agree, which is why I have them going far this year. They are coming into the playoffs with a shaky record over their last 10 games, so they will need to turn that around, but I think they dispatch their Atlantic foes given their comparative goal-scoring firepower.
