Whoever comes out of this series is who I want to win the cup. Normally I cheer for the Penguins, and as much as I would like to see Crosby & co win another cup and cement this team as a dynasty, I would also really like to see Ovechkin win a championship
I would love to see Winnipeg or Vegas win the cup this year. Both are exciting teams to watch and built the right way.
Vegas is built without a true superstar, unless you count Karlsson, who I figure for regression next year. They did it the right way by focusing on younger quicker forwards and underated veterans, got the right goalie at the expansion draft and built from the defense outwards, with a focus on young and fast.
Winnipeg did it thru the draft, but also with getting rid of the wrong players for the right players. The goaltending might be unsustainable, but they did the right things by making sure they had good enough backups just in case.
I think Tampa is the only team that can beat Boston in the east, with the winner of that series taking the east, but I figure the winner will be out west. |
