When the Minnesota Wild and St. Louis Blues face-off in game number one of their Stanley Cup Western Conference quarterfinal hockey game tonight in St. Paul, Minnesota, the Wild will see a familiar face behind the Blues bench in former coach Mike Yeo and they will not be in a friendly mood to welcome him back to the Excel Energy Center.
Zach Parise will be ready to send Yeo golfing for the off season after this quarterfinal matchup is over. I am predicting that the Wild will hit all their notes against the Blues this series and end it in a four game sweep. That’s a one, and a two, and a three, and a four St. Louis, because of the way goalie Devan Dubnyk’s overall play this season. He is one my leading candidates to win the Vezina trophy for top NHL goalie this year.
