Tampa Bay upsets Florida in the first round
The Florida Panthers are a hot bet to win the Stanley Cup. Florida and fellow Eastern Conference power Carolina have gone back and forth when it comes to the favorite to win Lord Stanley’s hardware.
As we head towards April 20, it appears the Panthers will be the Stanley Cup chalk. Florida faces a formidable opponent in round 1, though. Tampa Bay finished their regular season with a nice 6-4 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Steven Stamkos, Brayden Point, and Nikita Kucherov have plenty of postseason experience. Florida is in danger of bowing out in the first round.
Vegas knocks out Edmonton in Round 1
Edmonton final regular season game wasn’t good. The Colorado Avalanche blasted the Oilers 5-1. Edmonton didn’t have to win the match. Not having to win could have had something to do with the lopsided score.
Things don’t get easier for Edmonton once the playoffs start. The Oilers drew the defending champion Vegas Golden Knights. Get your bets down now on the Knights, who may attract sharp money before the series drops the first puck.
Colorado doesn’t make it to the Western Conference Finals
The Avalanche looked fantastic in their 5-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers. But the Avs went 4-4-2 in their final 10 regular season games. The reason to keep that in mind is that Dallas, which won the Central, went 8-2.Second seed in the Central Winnipeg also went 8-2. The Avs matchup with Winnipeg in the first round is no slam dunk. The Jets are solid. Then, if the Avs beat the Jets, they’ll have the Stars waiting in the wings.
The Dallas Stars beat the Vancouver Canucks in the Western Conference Finals
The defending champs will knock off Edmonton, but beating the Stars won’t be easy. Dallas is as solid as it gets this season. Wyatt Johnson and Jason Robertson lead a deep attack.
Vancouver has had their doubters all season long. The Canucks should handle the Preds no problem. After beating Nashville, Vancouver takes down Vegas. Beating the Stars won’t happen, though.
Carolina wins the Eastern Conference over the Boston Bruins
The Eastern Conference will come down to Carolina versus Boston. The Hurricanes will take down the Rangers in Round 2 to complete the New York sweep.
Then, Sebastian Aho and his mates will throw down against Boston after the Bruins break Tampa Bauy’s glass slipper. Carolina and Boston will be a good series. The Canes win it in 6.
Carolina and Dallas play seven, with the Hurricanes lifting the Stanley Cup
Carolina versus Dallas will be a fantastic Stanley Cup. At The end of the day, as well as Dallas has played this season, they don’t have a player like Sebastian Aho.
Aho is determined to lead his squad to the Cup title. Give Sebastian Aho and the Carolina Hurricanes the nod to lift this season’s Stanley Cup.
