LA has surprised a lot of the so called "experts" this year. IMO Edmonton mgmt deserves squat, with their pi$$poor goaltending choices, decade long now.

Kings are a pretty sneaky team right now, playing pretty good.
But with McDavid, I wouldn't call this series over.
That man is a Beast on the ice.
Go Kings Go !!!!!

I agree, but for these reasons:

* Jets: Geography
* Leafs: Original 6

Here are my reasons,
Jets: For many years Winnipeg was the nearest big City where we could go for entertainment and shopping. Go Jets!

Leafs: Because I literally played my first games there in a small burg outside of Toronto called Mississauga! Go Leafs

Blackhawks: Well I really don’t know why but always been a fan, long before the “Toews” era! Plus went to my first ever NHL game there in the old coliseum. The National anthem was so loud you could not hear yourself think, they were playing the Redwings who like so many games before crushed them with Russians! Go Hawks!
 
Mississauga? Don't you mean Mississausage? :lol:

Oh, God! This just made me step into my Way Back Machine, as Back In The Day we (some hockey buddies and I) used to "road trip" out to Chicago when the North Stars were playing out there. Almost got the hell kicked out of us on several occasions during the games (remember "Secord Sucks!"? ), and we would sleep in our cars in one of the Illinois Turnpike "oasis's" on the way home.

Cheap tickets, cheap gas, and good times!

Exactly that! Hate the Wings to this day. The young fans in my opinion just don’t get to experience that ages old rivalry. You want to stir up some crap, wear this, see below, to the Wings game. True story, I am at the bar after the game and a young Hawks fan who only knows Toews and Chellie and the Cup remarks to me “ I remember that guy!” Having zero recollection of the many many years the Hawks sucked,and the Wings crushed their hopes year after year? you know kinda like the last few! Hah! While I certainly appreciate the TB and Panther rivalry it is just not the same as a decades old rivalry! Yes I am dating myself. Hockey in Florida just seems wrong on so many levels to me but I am thankful they are there! It helps the NHL overall health. And that can’t be bad.

I sure do miss those days...

:rofl:
Didn't he play on a line with Nobalz?

I am a longtime fan of the OG rivalries, and I love it when Montreal loses, doesn't matter who beats them.

I was fortunate enough to watch the last game in the old building Leafs vs Habs. Had a great time, got totally trashed with some Hab fans. We were all celebrating the history and just the love of the old building and the rivalry and just hockey in general. Great night.
