They won’t win against SJS

Whys that? They would be the favourite because of their goaltending and defence . They are extremely well balanced

And SJ has to actually make it...

If you ask me yeah, Rask is playing extremely well. I imagine that averages down as the playoff continues.
If anything I feel like SJS hasn’t played to their potential yet.

Sure but the difference between Rask and Jones is massive.

This is by far the worst year that Jones has had in his NHL career, so what’s to say his play doesn’t improve?

Besides that, not everyone is contributing evenly in the sharks line-up but there’s room for more than a few to up their games. I mean, if they get passed the blues.

I don't think you can really count on Jones magically improving dramatically when there's a handful of games left.

To be fair he was a beast in a few of the games against Vegas and Colorado, but I'd still bet on Rask being more of a difference maker if they do face off against eachother. I can't count Carolina out yet though.

I haven't seen a game since Game 7 of Leafa/Bruins. The Leafs losing to Boston (again) was my Stanley Cup. That and the draft lottery results have been more than I could have asked for this playoff

I was just trying to point that you couldn’t count on a goalie to overperform on a regular basis throughout the playoffs.

I still think Boston hits it’s biggest challenge when it faces the west.

On another note, what does that say about the path and opponents the canes took to the ECF...? Did they just run out of gas, or could they just not beat a rough and tumble team.

This year was so weird. Carolina's first series was hard but NYI was a cakewalk.

I'm not sure how the Bs don't end up winning this year unless Rask loses his mojo with the time off.

I’m hoping it’s not. I want Karlsson to lift the cup. And to resign in SJS Sarcasm

Ok, so STL @ BOS. Let's see if anyone will recreate Orr's flying through the air as their celly.

Ev with a commanding 15-point lead. If he picks the winner no-one can catch him with just bonus points.

Only way for me to win is to pick a different team from Ev and hope that team wins. I was pretty sure he was going to pick Bruins, so I don't consider this "cheating". Ideally, though, the picks should have been sent to an independent observer.

With all that out of the way, STL6.

Wow. Cheating.

JK. All good.

I should have been betting these past few rounds since I've been on fire.

I am rooting for St. Louis. It would be a great feel good story.
