Many so-called experts are weighing in on the first round match-up of the Minnesota Wild and St. Louis Blues. Some are comparing the overall talent of each roster, while others look at which position groups give the other team the edge.

The Blues use their size and physicality to turn that wall cycle into quick offense with lots of shots on net.
