In the latest episode of The IceBergs: Hockey Podcast, Joey and Jared break down the results of their less-than-ideal NHL Conference Finals Predictions, before providing a rundown of their predictions for the 2024 Stanley Cup Finals between the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers.
From there, the “IceBergs” describe all that has gone wrong for the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup Finals so far, which resulted in them trailing 3-0 in the series at the hands of the Florida Panthers.
Next, they dive into all of their predictions for who will walk away with the Conn Smythe trophy awarded annually to the playoff MVP, as well as a prediction of who would win the award if the Edmonton Oilers were to somehow come back and pull off the reverse-sweep to lift Lord Stanley’s Cup.
Lastly, “The IceBergs” discuss the brand new jerseys that the “Utah Hockey Team” will wear within their first official National Hockey League season, before ending off the show with a power ranking of the final 6 trademarked Utah names; Utah HC, Utah Blizzard, Utah Venom, Utah Outlaws, Utah Mammoth, and Utah Yeti.
