Not to discredit the Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche, or Tyler Seguin and the Dallas Stars, but I believe that the Western Conference champion and Stanley Cup Finals contender from the West will come out of this Canucks / Golden Knights series. It may be irrational, it may seem spontaneous, but that's the take. The series is currently tied up 1-1, after Robin Lehner posted a shutout for Vegas in Game 1's 5-0 win, followed up by Jacob Markstrom's 5-2 victory in Game 2 for the Vancouver Canucks. We've seen great performances from both goaltenders, plus Reilly Smith, Jonathan Marchessault, Mark Stone, Alex Tuch, and Max Pacioretty on the Golden Knights side, along with Elias Pettersson, Brock Boeser, Quinn Hughes, JT Miller, Tyler Motte, Bo Horvat, Tanner Pearson, Tyler Toffoli, and more. The 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs are involving sixteen teams, which are the Boston Bruins, Tampa Bay Lightning, Washington Capitals, Philadelphia Flyers, Montreal Canadiens, Carolina Hurricanes, New York Islanders, and Columbus Blue Jackets in the East, and the Colorado Avalanche, St. Louis Blues, Vegas Golden Knights, Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, Chicago Blackhawks, Arizona Coyotes, and Dallas Stars in the West. The matchups are currently the Canucks VS Golden Knights, Stars VS Avalanche, Lightning VS Bruins, and Flyers VS Islanders. The eliminated teams of the 2020 NHL Playoffs from the qualifying play-in series are the Edmonton Oilers, Winnipeg Jets, Nashville Predators, Minnesota Wild, Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Rangers, Toronto Maple Leafs, and the Florida Panthers. Teams eliminated from the first round of the 2020 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs are the St. Louis Blues, Calgary Flames, Arizona Coyotes, Chicago Blackhawks, Columbus Blue Jackets, Montreal Canadiens, Carolina Hurricanes, and the Washington Capitals. Probably the biggest key to the Vancouver Canucks winning, should they advance, would be 2017 NHL Entry Draft pick Elias Pettersson. The 2017 NHL Entry Draft saw many top NHL prospects get selected by a variety of teams. The first round of the draft went as follows: 1st - New Jersey Devils, Nico Hischier 2nd - Philadelphia Flyers, Nolan Patrick 3rd - Dallas Stars, Miro Heiskanen 4th - Colorado Avalanche, Cale Makar 5th - Vancouver Canucks, Elias Pettersson 6th - Vegas Golden Knights, Cody Glass 7th - New York Rangers (from Arizona Coyotes), Lias Andersson 8th - Buffalo Sabres, Casey Mittelstadt 9th - Detroit Red Wings, Michael Rasmussen 10th - Florida Panthers, Owen Tippett 11th - Los Angeles Kings, Gabriel Vilardi 12th - Carolina Hurricanes, Martin Necas 13th - Vegas Golden Knights (from Winnipeg Jets), Nick Suzuki 14th - Tampa Bay Lightning, Callan Foote 15th - Vegas Golden Knights (from New York Islanders), Erik Brannstrom 16th - Calgary Flames, Juuso Valimaki 17th - Toronto Maple Leafs, Timothy Liljegren 18th - Boston Bruins, Urho Vaakanainen 19th - San Jose Sharks, Josh Norris 20th - St. Louis Blues, Robert Thomas 21st - New York Rangers, Filip Chytil 22nd - Edmonton Oilers, Kailer Yamamoto 23rd - Arizona Coyotes (from Minnesota Wild), Pierre-Olivier Joseph 24th - Winnipeg Jets (from Columbus Blue Jackets via Vegas Golden Knights), Kristian Vesalainen 25th - Montreal Canadiens, Ryan Poehling 26th - Dallas Stars (from Chicago Blackhawks), Jake Oettinger 27th - Philadelphia Flyers (from Washington Capitals via St. Louis Blues), Morgan Frost 28th - Ottawa Senators, Shane Bowers 29th - Chicago Blackhawks (from Anaheim Ducks via Dallas Stars), Henri Jokiharju 30th - Nashville Predators, Eeli Tolvanen 31st - St. Louis Blues (from Pittsburgh Penguins), Klim Kostin Twitter: @LR99Gaming Portfolio: http://giopalermo.ca/ Twitch: legorocks99 Hi.
