Got to go with Tampa in 6 on this one. Carolina while good seemed to struggle at times against Nashville and that's concerning as Tampa is a significantly better team. Still anything is possible as that's the NHL for yah

Kucherov is only going to get more comfortable. Goodrow is back. And I think Florida matched up better against us than Carolina will. Carolina's defense will be the deciding factor if they win. Bolts in 6.

I have Carolina losing in the cup finals in my bracket but this has to go to Tampa, around 6-7 games

Tampa in 6

It's gonna be a good matchup no matter what. Close. I have the Canes winning in 7 -- not because I'm bias, but because I actually think they can pull it off. They had a few struggles against Nashville, but I think they can get back to their game now. Game on Tampa.

tampa in 5 that 98m payroll gunna easily overcome the 79.4m dollar payroll of the canes.
