Who you guys got to win this thing? I’m picking the Blues. My bracket: West QF: DAL STL ANA LAK West SF: ANA STL West Final: STL East QF: WAS PIT FLA DET East SF: PIT DET East Final: PIT Final: STL MVP: Tarasenko
That organization is a joke. 1 playoff appearance since 2004 and no championship since 1967. Yet, they are still worth more than any other NHL franchise and they have tens of thousands of people on a waiting list for season tickets. You guys in TO love to be mistreated.
^ I used to agree, but the parity in hockey is unlike any other major pro sport. The difference between top 5 and top 15 isn’t as big in the NHL as it is in say the NFL.
I’d blame USDCAD but many of the 7 pay to the salary cap so no excuse there. It’s interesting though, you look at any NHL team it’s is 90% Canadians. So I don’t feel really that bad about it. It’s a major U.S. sports league that employs primarily foreigners. It’s one of a kind.
I would normally agree, except a 7 or 8 seed advances into the 2nd round at least every couple of years. I have homer bias, but don’t be shocked to see the Flyers knock off the Caps in the 1st round this year.
