I'm just curious who people have in their top 5 teams they most want to see win the cup. For me:

1 Caps
2 Preds
3 Leafs
4 Bruins/Jets
5 Bruins/Jets

Can't rank the Bruins and the Jets. The Jets are Canadian and it would be fun to see them win the cup, but the Bruins have a really fun and exciting team (not as much as @PaulDunnill thinks though), built around speed. I'm pretty even with those two.

1. Avs
2. Leafs
3. Jets
4. Columbus
5. Vegas

Wow, that was a pretty horrendous missed call there on Letang leading to Pittsburgh’s 6th goal.

That is the dumbest non-call ever on Letang. Usually i don't like it when fans yell "refs you suck!" but this time it made sense.

It wasn't a missed call. The refs saw it, they just decided not to call it, idk why. There was one official that could obviously see it, but for some random reason didn't call it.

1.) Vegas Golden Knights
2.) Nashville Predators
3.) San Jose Sharks
4.) Columbus Blue Jackets
5.) Tampa Bay Lightning

The refs were ignoring everything.

1. Washington Capitals
2. Winnipeg Jets
3. Vegas Golden Knights
4. San Jose Sharks
5. Tampa Bay Lightning

1. Lightning (extra first rounder for NYR)
2. Vegas
3. Jets

I don’t care about anyone else

Fair enough, As a Avs fan you had to believe. Your team effort was pretty good. They played better in this series than I thought. Colorado faced Nashville as equals every game but last one. Few of us expected that. I put Predators winning the series 4x1.

If Varlamov was there for them, I think this series could goes to a game 7. In my opinion, he could steal at least one game for Avalanche. The top line could played a bit better. It'd certainly helped the team to steal one of their lost.

Anyway, I'd be happy with my team, if I were a Colorado fan.

1) Pens (of course)
2) Leafs
3) Jets
4) Sharks
5) Predators

WHAT!?!??!??!? lol

I like your reason for Tampa

1) Pens
2) Pens
3) Pens
4) Pens
5) Pens

Situational refereeing. We see it all the time in the playoffs.

The Pens had just gotten called on 2 separate penalties. Letang was out of the box for like 10 seconds when that happened. The refs swallowed the whistle rather than call another penalty. Unfortunate that it led to a goal against like that, but I mean, Philly completely stopped playing defense as well so...

Letang also got the puck first, although that's supposedly not supposed to matter anymore.

1. Tampa Bay
2. Washington
3. Columbus
4. Nashville
5. Vegas

If I'm being serious about the list:
1) Pens
2) Knights
3) Bolts
4) Preds
5) Jets

Lol, sorry for all the notifications i've created PaulDunnill

Philly stopped playing because they thought there was a penalty.

Play to the whistle... That should be ingrained pretty much the first time they touch the ice as a kid. You never assume play stoppage.

1. Vegas
2. Washington
3. Nashville
4. Winnipeg
5. Tampa

1. Washington
2. Toronto
3. Vegas
4. Winnipeg
5. Tampa

Any of these teams I'd be thrilled to see win. I'm also good with the Preds or Sharks bringing it home. Essentially, anyone except Pittsburgh and Boston works for me (and of course, because I say that, those two will play in the conference finals). Those are the only two teams that I dislike out of the remaining playoff field.

Agreed, but it still should have been a penalty.

Please just not Pittsburgh ...

Am i the only one to notice that only 2 1st round series have had any overtime games?
