I think I'd actually pick Tampa over Boston if that's a first round matchup. 🤔

I'd worry about their D though. 😬

But they do have Vasi. 😁

I'm happy Duclair is thriving there. 🙂

Does Kucherov become the first singer in NHL history to reach 100 assists in a season?
Oops typo winger not singer

With 3 games left and only needing 2 more assists ?

And knowing Kucherov has scored 2 assists in each of the last 5 games for Tampa ?


I think he gets there.

I'm not betting against Kuch.

What a season he's having.
