Tiga, it’s really hard to pick but I go with Penguins-Tampa Bay East Final and Predators-Golden Knights West Final. I then see the hungry Predators taking down the Lightning in the finals, stoning TB in Nashville. PK Subban will boost the Cup and say on live TV, “this one is for you, Marc Bergevin!!! Thank you!!!!!!”

Very little separates these teams and what will separate the winner from the pack is heart, pride, guts, luck, coaching, gamesmanship and whoever gets hot in goal, those factors not necessarily being in order.
I mentioned gamesmanship because the Bruins were able to get in the heads of the Maple Leafs, especially when Marchand licked Komarov.

Licking an opposing player is not a penalty in the NHL, nor is kissing and cuddling with an opponent.

EB the bruins were leading the series 3-1 and had to go to 7 games to win it. They got in no head at all. Marchand probably added 1 or 2 games to this series because of his stupidity. Good player but has the intelligence of a green plant.
Marchand had 85 points in 68 games, I would say that is more than good. But the Leafs didn’t touch him after he licked Komarov. He had 3 goals and 6 assists in the 7 games- 9 points! The Leafs didn’t want to go near him. But if you give a guy like that space and he will put up numbers. Marchand’s gamesmanship worked.
Long history of this in the NHL. Anyone remember Sean Avery stick waving Martin Brodeur?

NHL Final 8 Proclaimed Best Of All Time

What about Kucherov and Malkin? Why no nomination for these 2? Is it because they are Russians? The finalists should have been MacKinnon and the two Russians. Malkin had his best year since 11-12- mainly because he was mostly healthy.
Kane Gets One Game Suspension For Cross Checking Bellemare
Here is the play that earned Kane a 1 game suspension:

Honestly I do not think the play warranted further punishment beyond the 5 minute major he already received, which is time served. The Sharks were down 5-0 on home ice and frustrated at the time of the play. The NHL is getting a little too aggressive with suspensions. Let the players decide the games. Bellemare has received worse hits than that which were legit hockey plays, so in my mind, it is not a big deal.

Bruins Top Line Doing Heavy Damage!!!
That top line of the Bruins is unstoppable right now. 12 goals in 8 games so far, I lost track of how many points. Bergeron, Marchand and Pastrnak are on fire and can’t be stopped.
