NHL Regular Season 2017-18

I was 2/4 in the second round.
I'm picking TB in the East, but I'm am stumped as to who to pick in the West. If Winnipeg plays their best against Vegas' best, I might lean toward the Jets. Or the Golden Knights if Fleury outplays Hellebuyck. Maybe. I don't know.
I guess I'll just sit back and watch what promises to be a tremendously competitive series!

Yeah, though I’m rooting for the Jets, if Fleury decides to maintain his .951 save percentage, the Knights will win. You can’t win if you can’t score.
That’s against teams that are not the Jets.
And he's middle aged now. Does he have the stamina?
He’s playing the best hockey of his career. And he had lots of time off being injured, lol
The Jets are deep though, 1st 2 lines are on fire, and their defense one is to be reckoned with. If Laine finally gets going, they could be dominant.
But the Knights seem to have that X factor going on, nothing to lose, and everything to prove.
Tampa loves to lose the first game. It’s all good.
Notging to lose? All four teams have the Cup to lose.
Jets got nothing to prove. The entire attitude of the Jets is we are going to do everthing we can to win the cup. We know we have depth. We know we have speed. We know we hav a great goaler. Now we just need to play our game. They are under no illusions that they have it in the bag. But they want it, to a man, for the little city of Winnipeg’s crazy fans as well as themselves.
Yeah Vegas has nothing to prove. Beyond the walls of their barn, no one else that lives there really cares. Stands sre half full of tourists.
And another thing....

Y’know what’s great about CBC? Ron McLean. That man is the pentultimate sports broadcaster. A Canadian treasure.
He’s still at .943, don’t get too excited, lol. This won’t be a sweep, but the Jets looked dominant for sure.
Perhaps the Knights were "Blinded By The _White_"
Geez, games like today's make me miss having Chris Kunitz in the Pens lineup. Feisty, physical, and makes his presence known on every shift. Exactly what the Pens could have used this post-season. Oh well. Go bolts!!!
And he’s got 4 Stanley cups, he’s been doing something right.
Jeez, can we let Pens references drop at least till the cup is over already? The horse is dead.
