Rank the potential Finals by your preference

[MrSnrub]

Jets vs Capitals - First time winner guaranteed; Laine vs Ovechkin has potential historical significance.

Knights vs Capitals - What if the Caps discover it wasn't the Penguins they were losing to all this time, it was MAF?

Jets vs Lightning - Massive firepower.

Knights vs Lightning - Just a weird matchup.


However, unlike most years I'd be fine with any of the possible Finals.

Give me Knights and Capitals please.

 

[hockeykicker]

knights and caps would be mcphee vs maclellan, former gm vs his assistant gm

 

[jetsforever]

Jets over Vegas, and Washington over Tampa

 

[DEVILS130]

1. Caps-Knights
2. Caps-Jets
3. Bolts-Knights
4. Bolts-Jets

 

[Scott Stevens]

Give me Knights and Capitals please.

I want Knights and Capitals.

The Capitals violate my “no first time winners” sentiment, as do Vegas. However, I have for a few years now cheered for two players especially to get a Cup, while my Canucks are a billion miles away from it: Ovy and Joe. I feel like Ovy is nearly as impressive career wise as Sid, but because 87 has his Cups it looks like there is some massive chasm between them. And the Vegas thing? I guess the absurdity of it is just fun.

 

[Del Preston]

1. Washington - Winnipeg
2. Washington - Vegas
3. Tampa Bay - Winnipeg
4. Tampa Bay - Vegas

Why do you have a "no first time winners" policy? Is it because the Canucks have failed to win one in 2011? I mostly cheer for potential first time winners when my Caps are out, and it's good that 3 of the final 4 teams are looking at their first championship.

 

[Dessert Nights]

I was hoping for Boston vs. Pittsburgh in ECF and Jets vs. Boston in SCF. For me, Washington and Tampa Bay are two the most "boring" teams who could have made it to the ECF (not related to their rosters, style or anything, just a personal preference).

I think it would be better to have Washington facing Jets. If Washington wins, Ovie finally gets his well deserved cup. Even though I can't stand Kuznetsov (don't want to see him scoring an OT winner ).

So Jets vs. Capitals.

 

[CartographerNo611]

Jets vs Caps is my main girl
Vegas vs Caps is my side chick
Jets vs Tampa is that 1 drunk mistake
Vegas vs Tampa is that one drunk gay experiment I never tell anyone

 

[Ares]

Washington over Tampa. Jets vs Caps finals

 

[bukwas]

Same as last week

Tampa vs Vegas

 

[Coffey]

Jets/Caps for sure 10000%.

 

[PensandCaps]

Jets vs Tampa will be the best hockey to watch, so those two.

 

[JT Kreider]

Lightning vs Knights, I feel Tampa would have an easier time beating Vegas instead of the Jets.

Then the Lightning follow that up with an injury filled Cup hangover of a season and we get a sweet lotto pick at the 2019 draft

 

[CascadiaPuck]

1) WSH vs. WPG
2) WSH vs. LVGK
3) TBL vs. WPG
4) TBL vs. LVGK

Order of preference for winning the Cup this year:
WSH > WPG > LVGK > TBL

But that in no way should be construed as me having a problem with the Lightning. I like that team and wouldn't feel bad at all if they came out on top.

I'm just more drawn to things like:
1) An OvechCup/ first Cup
2) A resurrection for long-suffering Winnipeg fans after losing their team/ first Cup
3) An are-you-freaking-kidding-me expansion team win/ first Cup

When the WORST scenario you're seeing as an NHL fan in the semi-finals is a win by a team you genuinely feel good about, that's an interesting situation!

 

[MrClutch86]

Yall really don't like us do you

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

1. Vegas vs. Washington - GMGM can troll his former team lol
2.
3.
4.

And 1994. Both in game 7.
I’m a petty person that way, and cheer against other fan bases feeling that joy until I can. I’m not shy about admitting it.

Tampa would be a more popular pick if they weren't the only team left with a Cup.

That's cool, I was just curious to know. Well, I hope for your sake that the Canucks get back in a position to compete soon and win one. Sucks to have suffered for so long.

 

[SEALBound]

VGK vs TBL
WPG vs TBL
VGK vs WAS
WPG vs WAS

Yall really don't like us do you

I'm sorry.

Lightning-Knights: ugh, sweep Tampa sweep

 

[PensPlz]

I want to see Knights and Lightning because I really wouldn't care who won. A former Penguin makes history either way.

Knights and Caps would be as aggravating as Pens and Caps all over again. But would take it if the Knights pull it off.
