THE INTENSITY IS THE BIGGEST ITS EVER BEEN! WE HAVE NEW CHALLENGERS! NEW MATCHUPS! NEW RIVALRIES SURE TO BE CREATED! AND BIGGEST OF ALL! A NEW STANLEY CUP CHAMPION WILL BE CROWNED! WHO WINS? WHO GOES HOME? Today we’ll bring you our brackets for this year's playoffs and we’ve changed up how we approach it compared to last year. Who do we think stands at the pinnacle at the end of it all? We revisit our preseason predictions and let you know how absolutely correct we were compared to our head spaces at the start of the year. The Avs played some games that didn’t mean much other than breaking regular season records, setting new personal bests, and securing some more trophies for players. But what me and you care about. Who do the Avalanche start in net for game 1 against the Kings this Sunday? The Sharks may have fallen a bit short of their ultimate goal but that doesn’t mean it’s all doom and gloom. We have one last in the tank section for you this week. The excitement meter just got cranked to 11.
