Who will hoist the Cup? The panel makes their predictions
The first round matchups are set for battle as the Stanley Cup playoffs begin on Monday. The TSN Hockey panel makes their predictions for who will hoist Lord Stanley this year.
If Bruins don't win, the record breaking year will be moot and the legacy of their core will forever be tarnished as constantly being 2nd best, not being able to get the job done when it matters most despite being future hall of famers and all time talents
I remember when Dave Poulin played for us here in Boston. The area was going through a recession, we had a High Tech and a real estate collapse. The area was feeling pretty down . And Poulin said what a great place him and his family thought Boston was. He really pumped us up that he thought it was a great place to live.
As a Bruins fan, I expect to us to win this year but even if they choke and lose, I won't be the least bit deterred because in the end this team has disappointed more often than not. I am desensitized. If they do win, however, this season will cancel out any prior disappointments as well as any in the future. I'd take this 1 historic season as a whole (assuming they win the cup) rather than winning the 2 cups they lost
Boston Vs Edmonton cup Final for Sure. Boston will take it in Game 7. As much as I want to cheer for the Leafs and have been for the last 30 years, Leafs will be eliminated by Tampa in 6. Dubas will be gone, maybe Shanahan too.
How many times do the Maple Leafs have to get bounced in the first round of the playoffs before everyone stops picking them to go to the finals every year?
I'm a big leaf fan since 3 years old and my first time seeing a Toronto player was Dave Keon on a black and white tv in 1969 all of us can say could who should win the Stanley cup but it's up to the players and who wants it the most plays with commitment I hope the Toronto Maple Leafs will win the Stanley cup Go Leafs Go 👍🏒
I'd love to Oilers to win it, but they'll only go as far as their goaltending takes them. Skinner gets a lot of praise rightfully so, but his numbers are mediocre at best.
What true fans REALLY want from their leader: " Look, I'm tryna be strong for my squad.. that's what a captain does..You wanna make it right?? Then when you go to Nationals… BRING IT!… Don't slack off because you feel sorry for us.. That way, when we beat you, we know it's cuz we know we're better"..
Intelligent prediction with the Oilers winning the cup. Oilers are breaking all kinds of records this season. Records that match or exceed the cup contenting and cup winning Oilers from the 80s and 90s and even breaking historic NHL records with their lethal PP. Not a big surprise with these predictions.
Boston Bruins is an easy choice for me. Yes, a boring choice, but just the most realistic option. My preferences from the 16 playoff teams are the Canadian ones, though, followed by two teams from each conference, Hurricanes, Devils, Golden Knights, & Stars. A first Stanley Cup win for Krakens would also be good, but basically, a team that either hasn't won or hasn't for a long time.

It’s been 30 years since a team from Canada has won the Stanley Cup and the first dude picked an all Canadian Stanley Cup Final
Honestly, as much of a boston fan as I am, I would love to see a Toronto/Edmonton all Canadian final. Being in Toronto would be CRAZY.
Avalanche repeat 🎉
Dreaming: all Canadian final
Skinner is not a Stanley cup caliber tendy, especially with Campbell backing him up.
Can you please put iihf women's hockey 2023 world championship full games please and thanks.

Oil will win

Dallas is loaded and the rest of the west is butt cheeks. Stars in 16

HOW COULD YOU BE SHOCKED I SAY? comment privileges revoked.
My prediction – Vegas vs Boston
Did I hear a little toot around 1.02 lol and I think boston beats Edmonton in the finals to win the cup but I'm hoping it will be boston vs Minnesota
Darren. Please wipe your chin after every telecast.
It's playoffs, anything can happen, but as far as upsets go, I think the kraken has a legit chance at toss Avalanche in the 1st round.
Lmao 🤣 Toronto in the finals that's funny. Toronto will NEVER beat Boston
all wrong. GO AVS lol
Darren must be smoking some good pot, leafs in the final!
Like a meteorologist, say as you wish
Kings are tough and the Oilers are soft.
Vegas Golden Knights
nah he just SAID THE LEAFS ahhahahahh
btw who are the random people in the backround
Boston vs Edmonton, Boston wins in 6
Boston Vs Edmonton cup Final for Sure. Boston will take it in Game 7.

Edmonton doesn't have the goaltending.
As a Leafs fan I must admit one thing, that set is impressive.
I'd love to Oilers to win it, but they'll only go as far as their goaltending takes them. Skinner gets a lot of praise rightfully so, but his numbers are mediocre at best.
Leafs Oilers cup finals, make it happen hockey gods🙌🏼🤞🏼

Oilers get to the final, and, then, Skinner gets injured. Everything falls apart…… (For you youngsters, this actually happened before to the Oilers.)
This new playoff format they introduced a few years ago is pure, 100% garbage.
All canadian playoff. OILERS take it all-complete sweep!
LETS GO RANGERS!!!
NY Rangers!
I love Darren's prediction! Bettman finally allowing a Canadian Stanley Cup winner.
Yeah the playoffs are unpredictable, but you guys are so boring. Choose different teams, go off the board a little, have some fun.
Buddy thinking that Dallas will beat Edmonton, he doesn't watch much NHL hockey does he? 😂😂😂
dallas is a darkhorse winner for sure, theyre nasty when you look at all the pieces
Edmonton all the way go oilers
Dallas aint getting out of the second

Lest go oilers
If the Avs had Landy, I would take the Avs. Now I dunno.
