Actually, sorry, not exactly right.

The winner of Dallas and St. Louis has no impact on that pick. Only Columbus, Colorado, and Carolina wins will advance that 21OA pick any farther.

But a Dallas win nets us the 28th, 30th or 31st OA in place of the 48-49th OA, so we should still cheer for them!

Columbus looks the best from the east for me as long as Bob keeps playing well. Seriously hoping for Dallas in the west but my gut tells me St.Louis.

Yea it's not a cakewalk. Canes are a better team than the Caps. The big advantage the Islanders do get now is they have home ice.

I don’t think they’re better. Like their ROW numbers indicate, I think they’re pretty evenly matched.

Correct! I wasn't clear on that.

We need to wait.

Winnipeg’s pick started at 22 and moves up for any team in the conference finals that was below them in the regular season standings. At this point, that can be Carolina, Columbus, Colorado, Dallas, or St Louis. One of Dallas or St Louis has to make the WCF, since they play each other. That guarantees 21. Nothing else is guaranteed unless any of those others move on to round 3.

So we're basically hoping for a Carolina vs Columbus ECF and a Dallas vs Colorado WCF

I can get behind that

What I’m most excited about is that the only team left who’s won a Cup in the last 10 years is Boston in 2011. After that, it’s Carolina in 2006, Colorado in 2001, Dallas in 1999, the Islanders in 1983, and never for San Jose, St. Louis, and Columbus. In other words, we might get a relatively new winner unless Boston does it. That’s what excites me.

They always did.

The 2011 Bruins were a top 5 smallest team in the league even with Lucic and Chara.

Yes but Boychuck was like Kronwall back then. They had Campell who broke his f***ing leg and finished a shift, Horton was a heavy guy, as were Seidenberg, Ference... can't forget Shawn Thornton. They were definitely a tough, physical team.

This year? kind of. not really tho

I feel the same way. That's why I'm hoping SJ, STL or CBJ wins. It's great to witness a franchise win their first Cup.
