[jonlin]

Dallas in 6 and Florida in 7. Finnish mafia in SCF'

Barkov, Luostarinen, Lundell & Mikkola

vs.

Hintz, Rantanen, Granlund, Lindell & Heiskanen

 

[Fatass]

Dallas in 5
Canes in 6

 

[GMR]

Canes in seven
Stars in six

People have joked for years about the disastrous ratings a series between these two teams would have.

 

[illone84]

I can see a Dallas vs Canes SCF.

Dallas in 6 over Edmonton and Canes in 7 over Florida (Jarvis with the winner in 2nd OT).

 

[Ray Mercer]

Cant believe people are going against the Oilers. They look unvelievable so far. Dallas barely squeaked by a weak Winnipeg team.

 

[Nicko999]

Canes in 6
Stars in 6

 

[WhiskeyEE]

Edmonton in 6
Hurricanes in 7

 

[PistolPete]

Canes in 5
Oilers in 7

A rematch of the 2006 SCF!

Rematch, although personally I would really like Canes vs. Stars.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Edmonton in 6

SC rematch and it’s a coin flip

It now has been 6 years since the Cup final lacked any Sun Belt teams, which tend to bring in the lowest ratings.

If the NHL would adopt this alignment:

Post in thread 'NHL Expansion Back on Agenda'

Oct 30, 2024

It's time to abandon the current conference/division alignment, as I have proposed expansion to 40 teams aligned as such (expansion teams marked with *):

Central: Chicago, Columbus, Detroit, Indianapolis*, Kansas City*, Milwaukee*, Minnesota, St. Louis

East: Boston, Buffalo, New Jersey, NY Islanders, NY Rangers, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington

North: Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, Ottawa, Quebec*, Toronto, Vancouver, Winnipeg

South: Atlanta*, Carolina, Dallas, Florida, Houston*, Nashville, New Orleans*, Tampa Bay

West: Anaheim, Arizona*, Colorado, Los Angeles, San Jose, Seattle...

• Big Z Man 1990

It would prevent any chance of an all-Sun Belt final and significantly diminish the chance of any Sun Belt team making it that far, as a maximum of two Sun Belt teams can be in the final 8 of the postseason under this format - one from the South Division, and one from the West Division.

I've received criticism for this proposal in the past, but I'm trying to save the NHL by significantly increasing the chance that two Snow Belt teams - many of which draw high ratings - will meet in the Cup Final.

Edmonton in 6

Florida in 3

SC rematch and it’s a coin flip

Florida in 3?

Now that is definitely a series rigged by the NHL. Bettman? Is it you?
