What do you guys think?
Who is gonna get the trophy this year?
Will it finally be the year of McJesus? Or one of the more well-rouned teams like the Stars?

Also Verhaeghe with his 5th OT goal in playoffs is now 3rd in the history of the league. Clutch player. Will be interesting to see if and how Bolts can crawl back from 0-2. | ||

Every year the same, such a waste seeing such a talent being wasted in EDM. Hope he doesn't end up being remembered as the best player never to win a cup. | ||

But Oilers are just so much glass canon still. It's gonna be hard to outscore everyone with 5-7 goals per game | ||

Rangers in the next round with a clean sweep vs Capitals. Ovechkin with 0 points in the playoffs | ||

Probably doesn't matter as the Panthers will wipe either Round 2 starting on sunday with Rangers vs Canes | ||

I see Avs vs Oilers in Western final and Rangers vs Panthers in Eastern. Of those teams, everyone could be taking the cup this year IMO | ||

That's gotta hurt And then the last 2 games happened =/ The crowd at the garden was so prepared to erupt at any positive play and it didn’t happen for 2.5 periods. If the bruins come out flat AGAIN i will just be disappointed. I didn’t expect them to get this far, but losing never feels great even if the season ends better than expected | ||

Western both matches are like individual class vs team effort. Team effort leading 2:1 | ||

going against Dalass will be pretty hard but I have hope they can do it. On the other side Rangers vs Panters will be really nice to watch. | ||

Oilers one up with an away game is surprising to say the least. How they survived that double minor in OT1 is beyond me. | ||

I don’t think bad, but there’s def better team depth This is florida being outrageously good. It’s just one stud after another. And their depth dudes are just straight dogs.

But Florida is an incredibly good team and are hard to beat. That's hockey. Anything can happen and it's why any of us who have an emotional investment in it tend to drink a bit too much. Been an Oilers fan for like 30 years so, ya know, hope for the best and expect the worst. | ||

But if Oilers get another win, doubt and fear will be creeping into Panthers heads. I haven't seen any of the Cup sweeps but I feel if anyone can do the reverse sweep, it's this group. They have the highest high I have ever seen though I only started watching 4 years ago ^^' | ||

He is unstoppable after all In all seriousness though, I'm hoping for Drai to make a breakout performance in Game 6. He's been a shadow of himself for this series. Fun fact: In 16 power plays, Florida is now 1:2 They should just decline PPs from this point on | ||

How the fuck do you expect to score goals when all you do is shoot the pads of Ottinger? That guy is way too good to give up lucky rebounds... what was the game plan here? | ||
