Avs in 6

Avs in 5

SEA in 7. Burakovsky finish it in OT against his former team

Seattle was 2-0-1 v Colorado in the regular season. They don't have the high-end skill but they have better depth than Colorado and better health. This will be one to follow for sure.

Avs have been injured all season. I mean how dare I pick the defending Cup champs. What am I thinking?

Don't be so touchy! There's nothing wrong with picking the Avs, they're the favorites for a reason.

I'm just pointing out their head-to-head record to show that this may not be the cakewalk many seem to think. It could well be an interesting series.

Also, the Avs injury woes continue.

Seattle improved to 3-0-1 v Colorado this year. 10-6 goals in 4 games. Colorado seems to have trouble with the Kraken defenses.

1-0 SEA.

I predicted a game 1 win by Seattle

I still think Colorado will get it together

That's entirely possible. It does put a little extra pressure on them though - and it's not like they dominated but lost (like, for instance, Edmonton the night before).

Pivotal game tonight. Colorado got completely dominated in game 4 and they'll be missing Makar tonight.

As predictions go, this one was pretty good!
