There should be a giant fucking asterix beside Vegas. Have they ever won a Stanley Cup? No, but they are only in their second season and have made it to the cup finals last year and made it to the playoffs second. That's unheard of.
Here are my predictions:
Columbus beats Boston
Islanders Beat Canes
Sharks and Dallas move forward in the West, Stanley Cup finals will be:
Blue Jackets vs Sharks with the Sharks winning the cup. Just a wild guess though.
