In order for me:

I hope they win it:

Dallas - I like Otter and Seguin
Winnipeg - Pulling for the small market Canadian squad
LA - I like Kopitar, Doughty, Kempe

I won’t be angry if they win it:

Carolina - Not Brind’Amour fan, but I’d like to see Burns win one
New Jersey - Benign team, nobody to really dislike
Minnesota - I like watching them play, wouldn’t be upset if they won it
Edmonton - Not a fan, but don’t hate them
Washington - It would be cool to see Ovi win it this year.

I’ll be angry if they win it:

Colorado - hated them since the Detroit/Avs wars in the late 90’s…still don’t like them…although seeing 1/2 this board lose their mind if Coyle plays well and wins a cup would be fun
St. Louis - Don’t want to deal with listening to it if Monty wins

I’ll be really angry if they win it:

TB - Tired of them
Vegas - They don’t deserve a 2nd cup in their first decade
Ottawa - part of me hopes Brady wins one, but a bigger part of me wishes only bad things for Stutzle….such a conundrum

My summer will be ruined if they win it:

Florida - Might be different if Marchy didn’t already win one…but he did, sooooo.

My summer and next hockey season will be ruined if they win it:

Montreal
Toronto
 
Would like to see a Caps/Oilers final and go from there. I actually placed a bet on the Blues winning the Cup(at +4000), just in case. Since we'd obviously never hear the end of it, may as well cash in.

Would like to see Dallas win because they've been close for a long time, and they play the right way.

Most of the rest it wouldn't bother me if they did. Would be nice to see McDavid get one, but I think the Oilers are actually weaker than last year, and with Ekholm out I reckon they get bounced by the Kings in the first round.

A Blues win would be insufferable, ditto Toronto. Could tolerate Montreal that bit more, less of a circus than Toronto, and putting all bias aside the current group is quite fun to watch. But the Caps will beat them anyway.
 
Ottawa. Love a good underdog story and Brady Tkachuk is an animal. Toronto losing in the 1st round is tradition and it must continue.

That being said it would be sooooooooooooo funny if Monty and the Blues won it all.

Minnesota, Toronto, Winnipeg, Los Angeles

The Wild were my sleeper pick before Kaprizov got hurt and Geurin had a bad deadline. They have a nice roster and I am interested to see if they can do anything. I doubt it, they are a seventh seed.

Toronto. If they don't make a long run this year, they may never make one. They have tons of talent, better/good balance on defense and a better coach than Keefe etc. Their Bruin nemesis did not qualify. My gut and my brain both say, this is their year. I just can't stand the unjustified arrogance of Leaf media and many fans.

Winnipeg Similar to Minny, but they need more dynamism on d, and a power forward. Extremely solid team, but more a regular season team.

L.A. I have liked they way they have played for the entire Kopitar/Doughty era. They don't have much of a chance, but I have a strong feeling they finally beat EDM.
