Rosehall Run Pinot Noir VQA Defiant (Dallas Stars)
vs.
Weingut Sinss Spätburgunder Trocken 2016 (Golden Knights)
Tale of the Tape:
The Dallas Stars have been in a hunt for the Stanley Cup ever since acquiring Taylor Seguin in the summer of 2013. The Stars are a veteran presence in the post-season now and they are looking to use their size and speed to spring past the Vegas Golden Knights. The Golden Knights have been a threat ever since their inaugural season by using the expansion draft to create 4 balanced lines – look out for waves of attack and constant pressure by Vegas.
Hockey WineUp Prediction:
Hockey WineUp is choosing Weingut Sinss Spätburgunder Trocken 2016 to win this third round match up. This pick is based on the uniqueness of German Pinot Noir.
