Can anyone seriously see a cinch to get to the finals? Does anyone feel confident i any team? I know that you Flyer faithful have to be disgusted over the way the Flyers have finished. Basically stinking up the joint. I mean, they looked like they were in an now? But in the East I figure that Florida, Boston, Carolina and Toronto and maybe the Rangers are the true contenders. I will stick my neck out on a limb and pick the Leafs to end Canada's absense from the finals. Why not? They are in the top 4-5. They have proven when they show up they can beat anyone. Florida are probably the favorites.
The West is also crazy I think the Blues are still alive? If they can sneak in, look out! But if not, Who are the favorites? Golden Knights who have underachieved all year? The Blues can still knock them out with some help. Vancouver have really tailed off. Edmonton has the star power but not much in keeping other teams out. Dallas has the best record in the NHL and my Sabres fought them tooth and nail and lost a tough 3-2 contest, ending our season. But they did finish on a high note and need a couple of good moves by marble head Adams to get in next year. Can Dallas reach the finals? Does anyone really believe in them? I do not. Colorado has a shot. So does, Winnipeg. Yes, just maybe. I cant believe Casey Middlestadt has a ticket to the playoffs. So for now my pick would be Toronto vs ???? Unsure about West until I know if the Blues make it. The Kings? How good are they really? The Sabres beat them one night by a touchdown. 7-0. Another team the Blues have a shot to run down. I sure hope the Blues get in.
