One Bubble, Four Teams: A Conference Finals Preview

All the hockey is happening in Edmonton now, with the Islanders and Lighting battle for Eastern supremacy, and Vegas and Dallas dueling in the West.

Ryan and Rory hate themselves for picking against the Islanders, but it’s impossible not to feel like this could finally be Tampa’s year. Vegas, meanwhile, is back in the final four for the second time in its three-year history. Can the Golden Knights tamp down a suddenly surging Stars offence or will the Dallas top line keep it going against Robin Lehner?

Plus, some thoughts on the teams that went out: Thatcher Demko gave GM Jim Benning lots to think about when it comes to the future of Vancouver’s crease. Taylor Hall to Colorado? And has the window closed for the Bruins?
