So with the playoffs looming, who do you think has the best chance to take it all home this year?

I think the Colorado Avalanche have a really good shot, as do the defending champs the Tampa Bay Lightning. Carolina Hurricanes also have a solid chance. The Toronto Maple Leafs probably have the best chance to get out of the Northern division so they would also be in my top 5 picks. Lastly I think the Washington Capitols have an excellent team this year.

Yeah, I can't believe the form on the Golden Knights, but worried they have peaked too early,  Central has been the strongest division, so is going to be interesting who chokes.    Tampa is pretty much injury-free too which helps, so as much as I would like to price back concussion-free for playoffs, knowing him he will choke anyway where Habs are so weak even if hopefully playoff bound.

Florida is gonna be hurt for injuries probably but will be interesting hurricanes, Tampa, knights and colorado.   I am not sure Washingtons defence will hold up come the finals in all honesty.

How is nobody talking about Boston? They've been playing great lately.

As for me I'm just on the outside looking in, my team won't make it but I rather enjoy watching without the stress anyway. :D

Habs finishing strong now and a win over the leafs is always welcome.

Probably the last chance for Boston to get a cup before they're looking at some major reorganizing, but the Caps and the Knights are looking really good this year.  Fleury is ridiculous.  And we don't talk about Tampa.

Also, what on earth happened to St Louis this year?

I am so sad to say that I am Canadian and I don't even watch hockey let alone know who is even in the playoffs..

I don't like the fact that they hired thugs that can throw punches better than they can skate.

To me it is no longer a sport.

Penguins ftw

Helreik that was some old school hockey revenge, did you see what happened the previous game? If not, basically a goon from the other team attacked three of the rangers players. Punching them and throwing them around. What I think was most upsetting was that he didn't even get suspended. So I guess the Rangers took the law into their own hands. IMO it's good to see a team stand for their teammates. It's a shame the Rangers didn't make the playoffs this year.

Well Im a flyers fan and since they arent in it I did live in Las Vegas for 3 years so I will be putting my money on the Golden Knights and they got one of the best goalies in the league. But really I dont care I just want to see some good action with lots of hits and fights!

This should be a big topic right now! PLAYOFF hockey is going off! I have missed a lot of it but I got to see the first game and there was some big hits! What was the biggest hit or best fight you seen so far during the playoffs? First game I seen Ovi throw a check to someone the first period and couldnt have been more then 3 minutes in, surely wont be the biggest of the playoffs but what do you got??

I missed the game  but will catch the highlight reels later. Avs swept the Blues but who didnt expect that an the Bruins took out the Caps! Cant wait to see what happens tonight!

As someone who cheers for the Toronto Maple Leafs, it does suck that Tavares, their captain, got hurt on his first shift of the playoffs. Ouch.

Glad they won game 2, and hoping they beat the Habs, if only to do nothing else.

Few teams struggling - Caps, Oilers.. glad Blues are out. Don't like them.

I take a fair bit of pleasure in watching the Oilers head towards a first round exit. I don’t hate them in particular, but I do have one friend that is a hardcore fan and has been thinking that “This will be their year” for like, 20 years lol

Go Jets, I guess.

Looks like you got your wish Pastor, Oilers are out of it now. They blew their  lead and wound up losing in three overtimes, shame for them. If the Jets played this good when I had them on my parlays I would probably actually like the team.
