How do you see either series playing out?


In the East, I believe BUF has the advantage in terms of team depth. Toronto's top line has been amazing even after trading away Anders, while BUF's scoring has been average, but the Stampede have overall better defense and better 2nd/3rd lines. Defense wins championships so BUF will take this series in 6

In the West, CGY kind of coasted into the playoffs while EDM went on a hot streak in the last 20 games to overtake TEX and MIN to secure a playoff spot. EDM playing at a high level right now and were definitely a team I wouldn't want to face in this first round. EDM will win in 7 games.
