Stanley Cup Prediction: Can Matthew Tkachuk, Panthers Avenge Last Year's Loss in Final?
Well it is a little early to be talking Stanley Cup Finals - let's be fair, the National Hockey League plays the longest season out of all of the major professional sports in the United States and we will be sitting on this ticket for hopefully four-ish months but I don't care, I have already locked this in and want you all in on it as well.
Stanley Cup Prediction
Before we talk about the pick though, let me remind you all this - this is no promise they win the cup. The NHL playoffs allow the most teams out of any league to make it in and have a shot, and once you hit series hockey, everything changes. There are plenty of teams capable of winning the cup, and teams that can change what they are doing by the time the playoffs hit. The Eastern Conference is stronger than the West but at the end of the day, teams can find a way. With that said, I locked this in a few weeks ago and wish I would have written the article earlier because the odds have dropped a good bit, but at this point I just want to get it out so you all can get in on it as well.
I can't fade the Cats right now, they check all of my boxes. Night in, night out hey play like a winning hockey team and they just get after it every time they hit the ice. It does not matter if they play one of the leagues top teams or one of the worst - wins are wins. They don't care if they are losing to the Habs in the third period, they are going to battle and get back in that game. They have so many great third period, overtime, and shootout wins this season. They consistently have shown they are a badddddd, mean, tough, talented hockey team that is ready to win, and they have been hungry for years now. Ever since the Presidents' Trophy win and early exit a few years ago, this has been brewing. They look ready to go back to the finals and win this year. I absolutely love how talented this group is, the forward depth is unreal and Sergei Bobrovsky looks amazing. The Cats are playing the best hockey in the league right now, and they deserve a wager.
