I'll start by saying I would like to see Toronto and Dallas. Toronto because it would be great for the league and the cup should have a chance to return to Canada. Dallas because I'd like to see Bishop hoist the cup and it would be nice for Dallas to finally win the cup. . . legit.

Those are my two favorite teams. I think it would be nice to see Crosby and ROR on the poster's facing off.

I would not sneeze at anothre Blues v Bruins, just to rub it in one more time, but really I don't care who we face. Bring 'em on.

I am. But after their first one, I'm an odd duck in that I'd like the other markets that have never won one before to win one. Except San Jose. I could go another twenty years before seeing them win another one. Plus another Stanley Cup Parade with Covid in full swing doesn't sit right

Tampa vs Colorado

Not sure how long Tampa's window to win this is. Its going to be rough with their cap issues.

Would be nice to see Oshie and Eller square off against the Blues. Plus Tarasanko and Ovie would make for some interesting press conferences.

How. Odd. I don't care about parades and certainly not about other markets. Funk dat noise, we want another one.

I want to see TBL sweep CBJ WSH PIT on their way to sweeping CHI.

But I think it’ll be Tampa Bay vs Colorado/St. Louis

It’s funny because I was a little skeptical about the Blues going into the pause, but now I look at that roster with a healthy Tarasenko, an emerging Blais/Sanford, and an upgraded defense (Scandella/Faulk are huge compared to Edmundson/Bouw) and struggle to see anyone in the west truly matchup. In the East I was Flyers all the way, but now idk.

When the Kings won their first cup, they were the first 8 seed to do it. It had everything to do with coming into the playoffs being on a hot streak and everything clicking. We saw the same thing with the Blues last year. Philly had the same mantra but with the covid break, everyone seems to be starting from scratch.

If it’s not the Blues? Vegas vs. Philly. Maybe Colorado v Tampa if we’re talking about entertainment. I’d love if Arizona or Florida made it, but I think it’d be best for the league if one of those two got Laf and moved to Quebec City.
