Stars-Knights is the series to watch. We can get new champs, or we might be witnessing the start of another powerhouse run by the Knights.

Stars/Vegas should be a great first round matchup. Oil/LAK peaks my interest due to their completely different sales of play. Series probably goes down to how closely they call the games
We want Tampa knocked out right away so the pick doesn't get any lower.

I saw what will happen in a dream last night.
WEST
Central:
Vegas beats Dallas. It might take a game or two, but the Knights will find their playoff gear. Jack Eichel is the hero.
Winnipeg beats Colorado. The Jets own the Avs. They just whooped them 7-0 the other day.
Central finals: Winnipeg beats Vegas. Close series, but Hellebuyck is the best goalie in the world.
Pacific:
Nashville beats Vancouver. The Preds are hot at the right time. They've got the goaltending and the defense. After the loss, the Sedins come down to console Pettersson, and the three of them make out at center ice.
Edmonton beats Los Angeles. The Oilers have built their powerhouse team for so long and the Kings just aren't the team to knock them out.
Pacific finals: Nashville beats Edmonton. The Predators are the team to knock them out. Oilers D and goaltending crumble under stress. After the deciding game, Oiler players unite one last time and beat the shit out of Corey Perry and Evander Kane in the locker room.
West finals: Winnipeg beats Nashville. The Preds will have overachieved to get this far. Cinderella run ends against the Jets. Jets have depth, they have skill, they have vets and young guns. And most importantly, goaltending.
EAST. No upsets in the first round.
Atlantic:
Florida beats Tampa Bay. This Panthers team is legit. They had a deep run last year, and this series is just them getting started. Bolts' time is up as a top tier team.
Boston beats Toronto. The Leafs do Leaf things and lose embarrasingly. The Bruins don't have the burden of (over the hill loser) Bergeron anymore. And they still have great goaltending.
Atlantic finals: Florida beats Boston. The Bruins don't have the horses. I don't expect them to slow down the Panthers core.
Metro:
NYR beats Washington. It's crazy the Capitals are even here. The Rangers aren't the best, but lucky draw here gets them the Caps, and lets them advance quite easily.
Carolina beats NYI. The Islanders will not go away easy, but the difference in player material is night and day.
Metro finals: Carolina beats NYR. The Rangers are paper tigers. Carolina is stacked and have better defense.
East finals: Carolina beats Florida. Canes don't have the goaltending, yet I still feel like this is their year. Teuvo scores Game 7 OT GWG and it goes in off Gustav Forsling's ass.
Cup finals: Atlanta Thrashers beat the Hartford Whalers. Hellebuyck wins the Conn Smythe, a Canadian team wins the Cup, Ric Flair dies. The league loses so much money they have to start selling jersey ads starting next season.

Rocky lost money every year the Hawks won Cups so it’s normal for the league to lose money too.

Are we really thinking Bob is going to replicate last year’s playoff performance? Has he started drinking?

Good first period in Boston. Hard hits and end to end action. Bruins with early goal and two posts already.
*edit- 3 posts!!!
