Stanley Cup Prediction
It's hard to make a prediction prior to the full Round 2 picture being laid out, but you have to like the Flyers' chances.
They showed depth and poise in their series with the Penguins and are my favorites moving forward. Other than that, I love the L.A. Kings as a sneaky hot team that could shock us all yet again.
Winner: Philadelphia Flyers
