Tampa.

Don’t @ me.

 

[jj cale]

Think Tampa is perfectly ripe for a first round bouncing out.

 

[Jetsetter]

Wild

 

[Brock Radunske]

I could see the Flyers giving Boston problems.

 

[Dick Sledge]

I would say the Caps but no one would be surprised. Plus the Devils are damn good.

 

[letsgooooooojackets]

I think whoever the Jackets play, they will upset

 

[North Cole]

Pitts. CLB time!

 

[Damisoph]

Vegas

 

[Coily]

There are upsets in the current format?

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Pitts. CLB time!

Pittsburgh hasn't lost to them since game 4 of last year. I hope the pens play them.

Blackhawks had the 4th most points in the NHL last year and got swept in round 1

 

[66-30-33]

Pitts. CLB time!

Not with Bob in net.

I think it's Tampa in the case they play vs Leafs. Bruins I think will defeat Leafs but Tampa I am not entirely sold on.

Apart from that, I could see SJS losing to Kings for example but that's not exactly an upset.

 

[MasterMatt25]

I think Vegas will win a series, that'll be an upset

 

[White Out 902]

How can Vegas not be #1 here to be upset? This team has midnight written all over them.

 

[Brobust]

CBJs beat Pittsburgh.

 

[Fire Benning]

Tampa regardless of who they play. If they lose to TOR I don't even know if you should consider it an upset.

That's kind of what I thought too, like Nashville beating Chicago was talked about like a 'catastrophic upset' when in reality I remember a lot of people prognosticating that Nashville would win.

 

[North Cole]

Pittsburgh hasn't lost to them since game 4 of last year. I hope the pens play them.

Cubs hadn't won the world series in 108 years.

 

[Sam Spade]

People will say the Caps when they bow out in round one, but Capitals fans know better.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Tampa regardless of who they play. If they lose to TOR I don't even know if you should consider it an upset.

Toronto is a really good team, but I think Tampa Bay would be the favourite here based on experience. This is my choice though.
Otherwise, Avalanche (still hoping for them) toppling Nashville would be...huge. Like J.R. Lind losing interest in wrestling huge.

Devils beat Caps in game 82
Columbus loses to Nashville in game 82

Devils vs Pens
