This is the hot takes thread.

jets beat calgary in 5.

Flyers win the Cup after winning the round robin and beat the Blue Jackets(who beat the Leafs) in the first round and the Lightning(who beat the Pens(who beat the Habs))in the second round, and in the conference finals, beat the Capitals(explanation will be too long) and in the cup finals beat the Avs(once again, explanation will be much too long)

Wrong thread

Ill go with another unpopular opinion. This was an absolute garbage setup the league put in. montreal and chicago have no business fighting for a playoff spot, you could also argue the coyotes, and none of the other top 3 in the east deserve the 1 seed. but its all about money so i guess it really doesnt matter what i think lol.

I think they were expected to win and the fact they might not is an embarrassment. The Pens and Oilers were given easy matchups.

Yup. Nobody was punished more than EDM and PIT. Both were virtual locks to make the playoffs and now both (2 of the most exciting teams to watch, btw) could be out before the actual playoffs begin. I think most unbiased fans wanna see both Sid and McDavid play longer.

I dont think penguins will lose the series. Oilers might though.
