Which Canadian team left is most likely to win the Stanley Cup

[Alex Mohn]

I know it’s not very likely that any wins, but if one does, who ya got?

Don't trust Edmonton's goaltending, don't trust Florida to not try to act like dirty losers and fully anticipating a Marner/Nylander/Matthews injury. If I didn't see what I saw Florida trying to do today, I'd say the Leafs, but I don't think they're making it out of this series healthy if they do win, so no one.

And I guess Winnipeg speaks for themselves lol.

Depends on if Helle can get his yips out of the way, but even they're limping out of the 1st round - Ehlers is still hurt, Scheifele was hurt to the point of missing game 7 so that has to be pretty serious, Morrissey was hurt to the point that he only played 3 minutes in said game 7, and they're running into the Stars who will get Heiskanen back this round and with him back, have the building of a team that looks like a buzzsaw.

Oilers...but anything can happen, so who knows.

 

[wunderpanda]

oilers made it to game 7 of the finals last year, so them.

 

[Iggys Dome]

People don’t want to admit it but it’s Toronto.

 

[Mr grumpy]

Jets

Nope. Still do not like their goalies. Sticking with the jets

 

[trojansoilers]

If the Oilers can somehow make it past Vegas and Ekholm does indeed re-join in the WCF, then I like our chances of an EDM-TOR final.
Gotta admit, Toronto looks decent this year.

 

[Devonator]

None of them.....well.....perhaps a healthy Winnipeg.....

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Jets

 

[ruaware41]

As a Leafs fan without looking at conferences and matchups the Jets are the best on paper.

On paper because playoff Hellebuyck is Hellebuyck and regular season Hellebuyck is heavenbuyck. Depends if he gets it sorted.

Edmonton has no goalie. I like Pickard but idk how long he can keep this up.

Considering matchups, I think Toronto has the best chance

 

[Moridin]

Jets is a bit too banged up for the Stars.

I dream about an Oilers vs Leafs final.

 

[bobholly39]

Oilers.

Not sure why everyone is sleeping on them this year.

 

[Chet Manley]

I'd be really surprised if the Oilers can win it without Ekholm playing a big part. He gets the best out of Bouchard 5v5 and knocks the rest of the D into positions that they are more than capable of. All this is to say the team spends nothing on goaltending and it's pretty unlikely to get away with that without a solid top pairing D.

i want oiler leaf final, i wanna se canada go nuts

 

[Contenderorpretender]

You mean the team with the goalie who's let in the most goals so far in the playoffs? The team that pulled their goalie 3 times in 7 games. You trust that goalie lol

 

[Summer Rose]

I actually think it's Toronto. Edmonton's defense and goaltending are big question marks, and Connor Hellebuyck is a big question mark as well. Regarding Hellebuyck, he could very well shut me up and lock things down from here, however. If he manages that it's Winnipeg.

Even if, God forbid, Stolarz is out for a while, Woll is more than capable of handling the goaltending duties for Toronto. He may have looked shaky coming in last night in relief, but he hadn't played in something like a month and Toronto managed to hold Florida off anyway, so he gets a pass from me on that one.

 

[Deno]

Before the POs I picked the Jets. But if Scheifele and Morrissey are out long term and Helle keeps shitting the bed I doubt they get past the Stars.
Edmonton is just not the same team as last years version. I doubt the get past the Knights.
That leaves the Leafs. I think this years version is the best Leaf team in decades so I pick them to make it to the SCF. I doubt the beat the winner of the WCF

Canada may go another year without a SC.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Oilers easily

 

[David Suzuki]

Toronto seems to have an easier path cause if get by florida, which they are favored to do, they should beat either washington or carolina

 

[Transplanted Caper]

All three teams have some pretty big question marks, but I'll go with Edmonton because they've got the two guys who can, and have, just lose their minds and win a series on their own. I'd probably have Toronto 2nd and WInnipeg 3rd.

 

[MikeS24]

As an Oilers fan, I have to say Winnipeg if helly gets back on track

Then Toronto as long as goaltending holds up

Edmonton third bc of our goaltending (idiots in management) and no #1 Dman coming back

 

[BTP]

Once Toronto ends Florida, I like our chances of at least making it to the final.

And we are something like 14-1 against Dallas in the Matthews era, we always beat Edmonton, we own the Jets, and we play well against Vegas.

If we beat Florida, I like our chances
