Who's the favorite this year?
McDavid gonna finally win it all?

1. Definitely the Colorado avalanche, Dallas Stars and Minnesota Wild in the West and the Carolina Hurricanes, Buffalo Sabres and Tampa Bay Lightning in the East.

2. No, i believe Colorado Will probably come out of the West anyway so the Oilers/mcdavid Wont win it all this year

Yeah Buffalo finally made the playoffs after a 15 years absence - their last playoff game was back in 2011.

If you Remember pat Lafontaine, You probably Also Remember Alex mogilny, pierre turgeon, Micheal peca and Dominik Hasek from that era

Porter Martonnnnnnneeeee!

Pens looked Old, tired and slow all night. Flyers dictacted the play and the pace. They shutdown crosby

What a dagger goal/shot by rookie forward porter Martone. It ended up being the game winning goal at the end

What are the vibes in Philly among sports fans there right now : are people more excited for the sixers playoffs or the flyers playoffs ?

Flyers, since they have a more-than-decent shot of winning a round.

Thats understandable. Sixers have no shot against Boston without an healthy Embiid, and even if he was healthy, the celtics are deeper and better than them anyway. And maxey is playing with an injury too( right finger)

And the struggling Phillies are 8-12 to start the season too so the flyers have all the goodwill of the local sports fans right now. They are the feel good story at the moment.
