Here are our picks for the division winners, conference finalists, Stanley Cup finalists and winner.
Most divisions had a healthy majority, except in the Pacific, where we were split between San Jose & Los Angeles. Vancouver was an almost unanimous selection in the Northwest. The competitive Central had four teams represented.
For the most part, we couldn’t come to a consensus. As a group, we like Boston and Washington in the Eastern Conference Final, but didn’t agree on anything other than that. We picked some combination of Detroit, Los Angeles, San Jose and Vancouver in the West. You may notice our “consensus” Stanley Cup champion isn’t the same as our Western Conference champion. That is because we chose not to leave a tie and Detroit won our tiebreaker. However, from the playoff picks it shows we all feel different about certain teams and this season is just that wide open for a winner.
Who’s your picks?
