After seeing them overcome the 1st round hump last year, i think this year they will do it again. What i dont think they have is the consistency to make a deep run. Toronto never plays smart games.

Well, the fact they can play without their top players at a critical time of the year is something few teams could do. Edmonton would do it if they could play without McDavid for 20+ games. But they can't 🤷

My sleeper pick- Jets. They have a playoff roster. The West is a toss up..cant count the Knights out but since they won last year Im gonna assume they are not as hungry.. EDM is intriguing, this is probably their best chance yet but I just don't trust them in playoffs so Im going Avs vs Jets WCF. From the East its pretty obvious to me. I expect a NYR-FLA game 7 ECF. Anyways, I think this is gonna one of the most exciting playoffs we've ever seen and I cant wait!!

As a Sharks fan I have no choice but to cheer for a Canes vs Stars final so one of Pav or Burns will win.

Although I want to see Colorado win it all, I do feel like Winnipeg is the team that has the best chance to knock them out. Winnipeg is just well balanced. I also like underdogs. So therefore I would love to see the Caps go from nothing to knocking off the Rangers. The Presidents Trophy curse. The surging Caps with Lindgren. It would be such a story. And yes, everyone outside of Vegas would LOVE to see the Stars send Vegas home!

see no this final set up is my ideal every single year- my literal two favorite my hoe town stars and the east team i root for when dallas doesnt go. which means as you understand its a curse- in 2020 i predicted it but carolina got knocked early- MY ENTIRE WEST WAS CORRECT. all of it my 2020 western climb of the dallas stars happened to the the game- but my east immediately collapsed and only 1 team i predicted won that year. so yeah cursed- ive been predictin this for selfish fangirl reasons for a near decade because they so often go- and its be a win win series for me- so it cant happen the gods wont let it XD

Canes are a perimeter team which doesn't play well in the playoffs

The UrinatingTree video will be legendary if the Hurricanes win the Finals. I disagree with your WC semifinals picks, Grav. I have Winnipeg and Edmonton in 6. Vezinabuyck is just too good right right now. As for the Oilers, I just find it hard to believe that Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl fail to get past the Canucks with an evolved Stuart Skinner and one of, if not, the best top pairing of defensemen in the NHL in Matthias Ekholm and Evan Bouchard.

I got avalanche vs Panthers

Call me a massive homer and I am but Vancouver has been so consistent this year. Last team in the league to lose 3 straight and they had the division wrapped up so early they went on cruise control. Sure they struggled for a while but the minute the games became important and Edmonton got back in the race Vancouver started winning again. Rick Tocchet has won before, the management has won before, they brought in players with Stanley Cup experience elsewhere meaning they aren't as inexperienced in the Stanley Cup playoffs as people think. If Thatcher Demko hadn't gotten injured I really think the Canucks could have and probably would have won the Presidents' Trophy as they only finished a handful of points out and there were several games in that DeSmith/Silovs stretch which felt like they could have and should have gone the other way. To me what it comes down to is the Canucks put themselves in a great position in the standings and although they didn't exactly coast they also didn't scrap and claw like Nashville did down the stretch to get in. They are one of the healthiest teams in the league right now. Demko's injury was likely a blessing in disguise as he was a workhorse. Now he is fully rested and completely motivated. Pettersen has looked completely uninterested in the second half and yet at times they have been dominant. If Pettersen wakes up (and he might...hoping he was saving himself for playoffs) along with a peak Demko I think the Canucks are going to be an unstoppable monster. We'll see.
