The NHL play-offs have begun.

Who do you predict will be this year’s Stanley Cup champions and why?

Gilles Gaudet - Sports Enthusiast -Well the easy answer would be Tampa Bay, there’s no reason not to pick them. The Lightning

dominated the regular season winning the President’s trophy by a whopping 21 points. No other team really challenged them this year. That being
said, the President’s trophy winner has only won the Stanley cup eight times in the past thirty years. Tampa’s path to the Stanley Cup goes through

Columbus, then either Toronto or Boston. That’s an intimidating task, even for a team as talented as Tampa. My prediction is a repeat of last
year’s final between Washington and Las Vegas. As we observed last year, the regular season doesn’t always tell the tale when it comes to playoff
success. Both these teams know what it takes to make it to the finals and they are well positioned to do it again. This time, I believe that there will

be reversal in the final result with the Golden Knights prevailing over the Capitals. By the time the finals arrive, the Capitals will run out of gas
and Ovechkin will pay for his summer of partying. On the other hand the Las Vegas team has added key components such as Pacioretty, Stone, and

Stastny and are primed for a Cup run. If they get good goaltending from Fleury, they should bring the championship to Sin City.
Jake Lapierre - Conditioning Coach - Hockey fans are being treated to fast, hard hitting, on the edge of your seat hockey this year.
The talent, the speed, the stamina of the players continually amazes me from year to year. In my opinion, hockey athletes are among the most

conditioned, toughest, talented athletes in the world (with lacrosse athletes a close second). The second round is upon us with surprising matchups.

Dallas - St Louis, Colorado - San Jose, Boston - Columbus and the Islanders face off against (Washington - Carolina).
The “Odds Makers” currently have the Islanders at the top of their list with Columbus and St Louis at numbers 2 & 3. Early in the season I made
a prediction that San Jose, Dallas, and Carolina were going to be top teams to beat this year and all three teams are still in contention. The field

is wide open and it’s going to come down to heart, stamina, digging deep for that extra overdrive gear and staying healthy because teams are all
equally talented, fast and determined.

Who do I predict will be this year’s Stanley Cup champions? I’m staying with my initial prediction from earlier this year and picking San Jose to
be the last team standing and hoisting the Stanley Cup in 2019. Good luck fellas!

Jim Riddell - Seaway Karate Club - The first round of the NHL playoffs is now over and there have been a few surprises with the
Lightening and Penguins getting swept by The Blue Jackets and Islanders respectively and the Flames being beaten in five by the Avalanche. With

the parity in today’s NHL everything will have to go right for whichever team is to eventually emerge with the Stanley Cup. I like the St. Louis
Blues’ chances of being that team as they have been playing well since Craig Berube took over as head coach in November. The Blues have been
getting solid goaltending from Jordan Binnington, who after being called up from their AHL affiliate in San Antonio in early December, went 24-
Greater Cornwall & Areas Community Sports Newspaper
5-1 with a 9.27 save percentage during the regular season. The Blues are a strong well-balanced team that has been in playoff mode since well
before the end of the regular season, eliminating the Winnipeg Jets in 6, and have what it takes to win the Stanley Cup.
