It’s time for the Stanley Cup and this year I think there are some teams that will absolutely destroy teams and others who will be in a ton of close games. Here are my thoughts on the games.
First off we have the Avalanche versus the Kraken for the Central division and the Western conference. I believe the Avalanche will beat the Kraken 4-1 for their incredible offense and the fact that the Kraken are a pretty new team. Despite that I don’t think they’re a huge threat this year, but the Kraken are a team to watch out for.
Next we have the Stars versus the Wild who are in the Central division, too. These 2 teams are really even and there will be some good games, but I feel like the Wild will win because I have a gut feeling about it (I don’t know), but it will be really close. I say the Wild win 4-3.
Now we have the Knights versus the Jets who are in the Pacific division. I feel like the Knights will definitely win, but will put up a little more fight than most people thought (or at least to my knowledge). I say the Knights win 4-2.
For the next game we have the Oilers versus the Kings who are also in the Pacific division. I think the Oilers will win after coming off a 9 game winning streak, but hey it’s sports that doesn’t mean they’re going to win. I believe the Oilers will win 4-1.
It’s time that we move on to the Eastern conference and we have the Hurricanes versus the Islanders who are in the Metro division. I believe that the Islanders are a good team, but the Canes are just better. The Islanders will fight and I say it might get them a game or two, but I think the Canes will win 4-2.
It’s time for another Metro matchup as we have the Rangers and the Devils facing off. The Devils are seeded higher than the Rangers, but I still believe the Rangers will win after showing a little promise. I think the Rangers win 4-3.
Next up are the Bruins and the Panthers. The Panthers are a really good team, but the Bruins have one of the most dominating teams to ever step on the ice. I believe that they also are in the best division right now, too (The Atlantic division). The Panthers might put up some retaliation, but the Bruins are too dominant. I say the Bruins win 4-1.
Finally we have the Lightning and the Maple Leaves from the Atlantic division. The Maple Leaves are a really good team, yes, but the Lightning are really good. I believe that the Lightning have the best goalie of all time Andrei Vasilevski, has made some of the craziest saves ever (seriously look them up on Youtube) and is just really consistent. At the same time they have a really good offense to help. I believe the Lightning are one of the two teams that can beat the Bruins ( the 2nd is the Avalanche) and I say they’ll win 4-1.
