Dark Horse teams/Cinderella

[Rpenny]

What teams will be the ones that pull the upsets or have a deep run that we did not think would happen.

Some may say Vegas because they got the last WC spot, but sorry, we know this show was going to happen and they will be back at 100% for game 1 in an other Christmas miracle. 3 out of 4 years they have had them.

I have the Kings and Nashville being surprise teams in the west and from the East, NYI

Leafs. They go all the way this year IMO.

 

[Svencouver]

whoever makes it in the last spot in the east

 

[hn777]

Nashville

 

[BoHorvat 53]

The West is an absolute gauntlet, so I'd say it has to be someone in the East. I'd say Toronto, who have the 10th best odds to win the Stanley Cup. They have the best player in any series in the East.

 

[Legend123]

Low key the Hurricanes

 

[bobholly39]

Tampa. Would anyone be shocked to see them win another cup? Heating up at the right time.

If not them - I could see Leafs win the east this year.

 

[JAK]

Canucks will win the PDO Cup with their PDO

 

[LeProspector]

Low key the Hurricanes

Could win president’s trophy = dark horse

Real answer is Nashville, they’re firing on all
cylinders

 

[LuGBuG]

Lightning Islanders ECF rematch.

 

[Schennanigans]

I could see Tampa making one more run.

You do realize that takes winning more than a single round for the Leafs to win a cup. Thats a tall task in itself for that franchise.

 

[olafsson]

If Vancouver reverts back to the way they were playing earlier, they could go on a run

I think Nashville rode some streaks this year to get in but depth is going to be an issue. I do like our future though and believe Bruno is a really good coach. I also like that we are finally fun to watch. The difference between this year and last is quite dramatic

 

[SheldonJPlankton]

No team is more comfortable wearing a dress and no franchise has more essence at being a scullery wench than the Leafs.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Low key the Hurricanes

They're like the best team in the league in the calendar year so far lol.

 

[BonMorrison]

If Preds can get by what is looking like the Canucks, anything can happen.

 

[MikeK]

A dark horse has to be Vancouver. Nobody expected them to have such a strong record. They have some key injuries coming back and if they can find their game like they had for the first half of the season they could easily catch a few teams off guard.

 

[dirtydanglez]

anyone from the east really

 

[Legend123]

They're like the best team in the league in the calendar year so far lol.

Yet no one talks about them that's why I said low key

 

[archangel2]

If Vancouver reverts back to the way they were playing earlier, they could go on a run

they will win their division so that by default does not make them a dark horse team

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Tampa - they have the experience and have flown under the radar all year.

 

[1specter]

Tampa, they're rounding into form at the right time, Vasi looks like he's back and they've owned the Bruins and Panthers in the playoffs the last 6-7 years. They're going to be a tough out for anybody.

 

[MVP of West Hollywd]

Smashville, and Lightning making finals again in weaker conference.

 

[winnipegger]

Would love to see the caps get in and go on an unlikely run with 15+ goals from ovechkin.
