Blues vs. Wild 2017 round one NHL playoff schedule

The 2017 Stanley Cup playoffs begin this week, and for the sixth season in a row the Blues have punched their ticket to the big dance. This year’s first round opponent isn’t necessarily the drama filled scenario that last year gave us, but there’s still a lot to look forward to. How will Mike Yeo coach against his old team? Will a Bruce Boudreau team finally have playoff success? Can the Blues get a little revenge for their early exit at the hands of the Wild in 2015?

See? Drama.
