In the West, I have LA/Vegas-Winnipeg in the CF, with Winnipeg winning.

Nashville and St Louis just don’t impress me. Obviously deadline acquisitions can change things.

In the East. Likely Pittsburgh-Tampa Bay. Pittsburgh moving on.

Pittsburgh ends up winning their third straight.

The East is tough because Boston has been super hot the past 5-6 weeks, but does that come back to earth? Tampa Bay started absolutely amazing but has looked fairly average lately.

I do think the Leafs have a good shot at making the Conference Finals,but still think it’s a bit early to start penciling them in as favourites months before the playoffs.

So yeah;
Winnipeg beating Vegas/LA
Pittsburgh beating Tampa Bay

Pittsburgh wins the cup again

Boston, Tampa in the East are heavy favorites for me, right now.

Preds, Winnipeg in the West. I think Winnipeg is close to a lot of teams though and it'll depend on who peaks in the playoffs between them and the other teams. Preds to me, are the clear favorites.

I'm going to be generous

East: Tampa, Boston, Toronto, Pittsburgh
West: Nashville, Vegas, Winnipeg

I think Boston gets bounced in the 1rst round if they play us or Tampa.
I don't have a lot of faith in Vegas or Winnipeg.

It seems there is always a surprise team in the playoffs that go farther than expected. Hope TML are that team in the final 4.

Wow you guys are seriously scared of guys like Brassard, JT Miller, Stastny, McD?

Leafs are still contenders. Our top 9 is one of the best top 9 in the entire league and Turtleneck Plek will help improve the goal differential.

Big 3 finessing. Kadri doing his thing. Marleau and JVR have energy saved for days hiding behind the big 3 and kadri.

Hyman we know will go all out. So will Kapanen.

Vezina candidate goalie.



Chill out lol.

Putting Boston ahead of Pittsburgh is utterly laughable

TB PIT WPG NSH

We’re solidly entrenched in the second tier, but definitely have potential to do some damage

Problem is the East is better at top IMO. I like us better than Vegas or Winnipeg but they don't have to get past Tampa. Boston does not scare me, but Pittsburgh is serious.

Tampa, Pittsburgh, Us and Nashville.

Toronto
Tampa, Pittsburgh in the East.
Winnipeg, Nashville in the West (one of these teams definitely won’t make it to the CF though)

Right below them are the Bruins, Leafs, Vegas. I don’t view any of the other teams capable of winning but it’s the playoffs so anything can happen.
