I like CAR's chances of coming out of the East... think it'll be them and TBL in the conference final. Love how well both teams are managed but I'm giving a slight edge in terms of support for the Canes considering the Bolts already won a Cup last year.
I guess one of the few perks about the Canucks not being in the playoffs is getting to enjoy watching fast-paced, physical hockey stress-free. Hopping on a bandwagon like I did in 2019 for the Blues (and getting to watch the Bruins lose) is just extra fun.
