I'm cheering for Toronto in the east. Lived here in the GTA all my life, but that's a big bias. If Toronto makes it into the next round, they have an amazing chance.
The best chance they've had since Gilmour, but they still need to get past Boston.
I haven't seen any other analysts that have Toronto with that advantageIts not an opinion piece. Doesnt mean it's right, but it's based off simulations and ELO

If you look at the stats through the first round, Toronto isn't the favourite. They are in the mix.I havent seen any other in general. Can you share some links that arent opinion?

What stats? Not disputing, just haven't seen any.
You just triggered my persecution complexWe CAN'T let the leafs win the cup. Riots around the world if that happens.
Who are the teams that are considered underdogs? Without having that list, maybe?
Of the teams left I see Washington, Boston, Nashville and Vegas as favorites based on previous playoffs. For me the rest are anywhere from mid pack to underdogs.
Here is what the Athletic has for current probabilities:
How is Toronto at 19% for cup and we haven't won our series like other teams?
Kinda hard to make a prediction when rounds are still being played, but here's oneWhere is the prediction?
Lol the athletic wants subscriptions I guessNo idea, I didnt run the 50,000 simulations
View attachment 218349 pretty basic, but it's informative
Avs-Golden Knights
Blues-Stars
Hurricanes-Islanders
Blue Jackets-Leafs
The one I showed is heavily based on stats, and not outcomes.So strange that two separate analytics based studies have the Jets dead last in one and 5th of 16 in the other. Interesting. Not discounting either one at all.
I don't view the Islanders as an underdog. And the Blue Jackets aren't an average 8th seed. They finished two points behind Toronto
That chart of fancy numbers is courtesy of Dom Luszczhszyn. Dom's fancy numbers previously said that the Penguins had a 70.3% chance of beating the Islanders in the first round. The fact that he had that down to the .3% means his numbers are highly accurate and indisputable.No idea, but they gave this. Everyone is welcome to come up with something better that isnt based on opinion.
