Stanley Cup Final
Kings over Lightning. The West is stacked and it’s so hard to repeat as Stanley Cup champions, so this is somewhat of a bold call. With that being said, I still think the Kings have enough experience and enough depth – not to mention a great front office & coaching staff – to make back-to-back Cups a real possibility. Picking the East’s representative was a tough call; I think the Bruins, Canadiens, Penguins and Rangers all have as good a shot to make it through as Tampa does, but the Lightning are an exciting young team that keeps trending upwards.
