I also wanna see the Rangers go all the way, but its New York…and when is the last time a New York team won anything? If I had to put money down its gonna be Panthers and Stars in the final with Panthers taking it. The depth of Florida is just amazing.

Let's go, Flyers. Oh wait. They didn't even make the playoffs, did they?

I'm glad Boston is out. Now need NY out. The west is looking like it'll be Dallas v Vancouver unless Edmonton can win back to back with a game 7 win on the road. Of those 2 I'd take Dallas. Love to see the Panthers in the finals.

Panthers should beat Edmonton but it will take seven games to get it done I think. But McDavid could single handily will Edmonton to win. Panthers are one of eleven teams to have never won a Cup so I'd like to see that number become ten.

Panthers are four solid lines and good goaltending. The play uptempo and EDM just doesn't have the personnel to keep up with them.
Dallas got nothing out of Pavelski or much else from their big guns. It wasn't due to the blistering EDM D but rather, they were tired and had no hustle. What they brought in the 3rd was what they should have done in the prior games for the full 60 mins.
EDM as McJesus, Draisaitl and who else? Their goaltending isn't good compared to Panthers.
While I want it to go 7 games because it's the last hockey until September, I'll be kind and say it'll be over in 6 but really, it'll be 5. Two in FL, two in Alberta and FL wins it at home.

I'd like to see the Oilers as well. Not sure who's best watching from a distance. But Alberta might be the last hope to cure the disease that afflicts our Comrads to the North. A cup win might put some wind in their sales.
