biggest no spoil is president trophy usual exit in the first round (injuries)
also maple leafs deserve a long run
sadly I feel oilers are too weakened, but maybe the two headed monster can do it
avs are the true contenders with all the added pieces

I'm expecting a 7 game fire fight.

I'm more interested that the first criticism I got wasn't my curveball Devils in 7 prediction.

My instinct was Avs Tampa which is worrying because it appears to be a lot of peoples instinct lol

I'm expecting a 7 game fire fight.

I'm sure there is a place to find out, but I wonder what the average number of goals scored in the final have been in the last 5-10 years. It seems like most of the finals are low scoring, but I would love a final where the Goalies are not the reason a team would win. Give me a 7-6 game over a 2-1 game that could actually be a slog.

No bigger armchair accomplishment than getting a full bracket right before the playoffs. Take your shot and fill one out.

I feel like the NHL used to have a bracket challenge on the website, but don't see it this year.

Edit: if anyone has a cleaner way to show a bracket in an HF post, please say so. The text one above isn't exactly pretty. If you change the font to courier, it looks ok.

Might be hypocritical of me to say this considering I have VGK as Finalists, but I'm shocked not one person so far (that I can tell, those text brackets are hard to read) have picked Minnesota... not the craziest thing in the world to think them with all their players back, and perhaps winning the goalie duel could upset the Knights!

This is exactly what Steve Dangle has except for the SCF.
