Blues at Avalanche Game One GameDay Thread

The Blues are facing a tougher opponent in round two.

Usually I don’t pay any attention to pundit predictions. No one ever knows what they’re talking about – last round a bulk of the talking heads picked the Wild to move on to round two based on the strength of Minnesota’s goaltending and defense, and they were dead wrong.

This round, a majority of writers are picking the Avalanche, which is no surprise. If I weren’t a Blues fan, I’d be inclined to agree. But one person is making a bold prediction that I’m a lot more prone to listen to: Dierks Bentley.

First off, my family’s last dog was named Dierks and he was incredible. Second off, Bentley’s not even a Blues fan – he’s a Predators fan. For a fan of a divisional rival to go with the Blues says a lot. Then again, maybe he’s just having some fun with his kid.

Whatever the reason, I’m going to side with Mr. Bentley this round – but it’s going to take one game at a time. Let’s get this one tonight, and then work from there.
