Panthers/Rangers
Stars/?
Who’s gonna play the Stars?
Personally I’d like to see the Rangers and Stars.

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.

I have to agree medic. My gut says Panthers.

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.

I too was happy to see Boston eliminated. Now I'd like to see the Rangers eliminated.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Canadian Team in the finals. It's been a long time since we've seen that.

Any season where Brad Marchand doesn’t win the Cup is a good season.

Three years ago the Canadiens lost to the Lightning. Of course that was a Covid restricted season so I don’t know if that actually counts.

I would like the Canucks to win and Florida to win.

I'm a Flyers fan. If all goes well with their prospects they should make the playoffs next season. Of course goaltending will be an issue.

In my book it doesn't. That season has an asterick * beside the Tampa Bay win for me.

I'm rooting for whoever plays the Stars. So fucking sick and tired of losing to those guys.

It’s been quiet here for a while but we’re at the cup. What’s your prediction?

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.

This will be Panthers in 5, no more than 6.

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 have no skin in the game. I am real happy the Rangers are not in the finals.

Anyway I think the Panthers will win the Cup. Better goaltending and a better team overall. Its a bad Stanley Cup matchup but Ill still watch.

I'll be the outlier. I'm taking the Oilers.

Not the only one, picking them and rooting for them.

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.

The Stars had three young kids on ELC's and they fricking killed us. I'm good with who ever wins now.

1-0 Edmonton after the first. It’s a rough game tonight.
