in order of strength of feeling

i like the lightning over florida.

i like the knights over dallas

i think the avs take the jets

i think la takes the oilers to 7 and may pull it off.

leafs i think beat bruins in 5

rangers take the caps in 6

i have zero feel for canes/isles or canucks/preds. hopefully we win.

Boston threw the OTT game to get TOR, If Boston cannot pass TOR, it will be considered they choked

Stars in 6
Avs in 7
Oilers in 5

Would be my guess. I feel like there's always an upset, and I feel Boston - especially after their falter last year - is ripe for it. I don't really think too highly of Toronto either, but I think they'll get by them.

Dallas 4 Las Vegas 2
Winnipeg 4 Colorado 2
Vancouver 4 Nashville 1
Edmonton 4 LA 2
Florida 4 Tampa 3
Toronto 4 Boston 2

The Caps over the Rangers in four is bold!

Sometimes trying to figure out how the Stanley Cup playoffs will work after the first round can make your head spin.

But assuming the first round goes to form, with Edmonton, Vancouver, Winnipeg and Dallas all advancing, then as I read it, the Canucks will avoid Edmonton in the second round, but draw the Jets instead. And that would leave the Oilers playing the Stars.

If that's the case, then yesterday's 'mean nothing' game in Winnipeg might actually turn out meaning a great deal. Instead of Edmonton in Round #2, the Canucks would draw the Jets....The Jets are a good all-around team, but they don't have the weapons the Oilers have.

Don't think they reseed. If canucks win they face either edm or la.

This is correct.

Stars over LVGK ..in 7
Canucks over Predators..in 7

Hurricanes over NYI..in 6
NYR over Capitals..in 5

West is a total dogfight over the East..and more difficult to predict.

This is the first I heard of the Redskins changing their name.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

I'm partial to the Salt Lake City Stormin' Mormons

Also I think it's hilarious Utah kept the name Jazz all these years. Like Utah and Jazz have nothing to do with one another and are complete opposites. Certainly a sinners music and completely unstructured. Opposite of Utah.

Avalanche dressed a full line-up in the last game of the season. Didn’t really stagger ice time or rest anyone.

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

On another note, I need some Yotes gear. That logo is easily top 5. No chance Utah tops that.

Unless they're called the Soakers.

Having just been to Utah, I have some suggestions.

The Utah Tabernacles
The Utah Nice
The Utah Open Carry
The Utah Purity Dresses
The Utah Bees
The Utah Honey
The Utah Sting (then Die)
The Utah Hive
The Utah Californians
The Utah Pilgrims
The Utah Saints
The Utah Mountains

Canucks record vs Sportsnet "insider" Stanley Cup picks

9-1-1

Also the Oiler love from TSN/Sportsnet seems a little over the top since they still have question marks outside of McDavid/Drai. Tying your wagon to Skinner doesn't seem like a winning formula.

Team names today, you are not just grabbing a random animal because it looks/sounds fierce.

Want something that is local to the area.

Jazz, Flames, Grizzlies, (even NFL Cardinals) should have been changed when their team moves. Dallas Stars works due to the Lone Star state monicker.
