The Athletic's NHL staff picks first-round winners, dark horse, biggest disappointment, conference champs, Cup champ and Conn Smythe.
Can the repeat? Or are the and fated for the ’s first all-Canada Stanley Cup Final since 1989? Or will some under-the-radar team blow up this year’s playoffs, as the did last year? With the postseason opening on Saturday, The Athletic posed these questions and more to our NHL staff.
Goldman: I can’t decide if too many of us are sleeping on Winnipeg or if we’re just that confident in Colorado’s star power taking over. Granger: The lineups are closely matched, in my opinion, with a slight edge to Colorado, but the goaltending is so lopsided that it’s going to take one heck of a series by the Avs to win this.
