Who is winning the cup this year? (No BS thread)

[Coffee]

You got it Oilers fan.

He's not a Oilers fan

Edmonton. Connor will make them dig in!

Rangers vs Stars

So now as we sit at the halfway mark, I will submit the one and only bump

 

[Kennedys]

Oilers

 

[syz]

If I was putting money on somebody it would be from the east. So Florida again, I guess. The west will be a bloodbath this year.

 

[Devonator]

I still say Florida....they can turns things on when they want....followed by the Oilers.....Vegas and Dallas also up there....

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

It would be pretty wild if Ovechkin won the goal record then went on to win a Cup then walk off like a motherf***in G.

Obviously Florida's to lose. I'm nor sleeping on Winnipeg and my dark horse IF they get in are the Rangers

 

[koyvoo]

Edmonton gets a halfway decent goalie and they’ll tough to bet against

Idk man, we look pretty fkn tired recently. I wonder if we have the gas for another deep run.

 

[Bizz]

Still going with the San Jose Sharks...

 

[Tanknation]

Montreal with Dobes the new Roy.

This, and that was my answer last year at this time. Not to get all conspiratorial, but it really feels like the Edmonton sports media isn't allowed to discuss the problem in net.

Decades from now hockey historians will look at the Oilers teams from 2023 and 2024 and scratch their heads about why the team did nothing to fix its goaltending when the team was so close to winning it all...

 

[Hank Plank]

McDavid has finally turned into a mature player (no sarcasm) I give Edmonton the best chance to win.

 

[Dynamite Time]

Missed this thread last fall but was thinking;
Oilers and Stars from the West and Panthers and Rangers from the East. Stars over the Rangers was my overall.

Now… The Jets look really good along with the Wild, Knights and Oilers in the West.
Capitals (a surprise) along with Maple Leafs, Devils and Panthers my top in the East.

At the moment I see the Central division being tough and wearing down those teams so I’ll say Oilers from the West against the Capitals from the East; Oilers win in 7.

edit - as a Stars fan I know GM Nill with the cap space he’s got (Seguin LTIR) will make a move or two but facing Jets, Wild and Avalanche in the first two rounds it wouldn’t surprise me if they get to Conference Finals again but can’t proceed, hope I’m wrong of though.

Agree 100 percent but I've always believed that the title is the owner's until someone takes it away AND to never underestimate the heart of a champion

 

[RedRocking]

My random stab at this is a team I think is being overlooked: the Avs. Particularly now that they’ve upgraded their goalie situation.

Mittelstadt is a solid (if unspectacular) 2C that they’ve sorely lacked since Kadri left. Hopefully for them, Nichuskin gets healthy and has his act together. And I’m sure they’ll make some TDL moves to bolster depth.

The team is still pretty loaded, with a Cup-winning pedigree. Who in the West wants to face these guys if they get their shit together?

 

[Vukotal Recall]

Jets. Which would be awesome on so many levels.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Utah

 

[eojsmada]

Florida. Followed by (and in no order), Vegas, Dallas, Winnipeg. I think there will be a "Cinderella Run" by a team until the reach their Conference Final and lose in 6 or 7.

me , as a Canucks fan, I think Florida will repeat

But I want to hear everyone’s opinion

Laugh? Given up on the canucks huh?

I think the last team to win a game will win it .

 

[voyageur]

I have Carolina as a sneaky team to win the Cup if they can find the ghost of Cam Ward.

 

[WiLBoY]

The Canucks. Other teams are peaking too early and the Canucks are pacing themselves to get hot in the playoffs

Still going with the San Jose Sharks...

Cup preview vs Islanders coming up !
