2018 NHL Playoff Predictions Finals Update

See last post here.

Wowwwww. Vegas Golden Knights vs Washington Capitals in the NHL Stanley Cup finals. A team making it to the finals in its inaugural year + a team that has been in the finals 27 times since 1974 but has never won the Stanley Cup. A historic year for hockey and a treat for sport fans that value league parity (contrast with the NBA finals, where the Golden State Warriors have faced the Cleveland Cavaliers in the finals every year since 2015).

Anyway, let’s keep the prediction post organized like the previous ones.

What went right

Washington did beat Tampa Bay. Prediction accuracy for the last round was 1 of 2 (50%).

What went wrong

Winnipeg fell to Vegas after 5 games. My hope of a Jets sweep was far off.

Thoughts on the Finals

Las Vegas (1) vs Washington (1)

Capitals, take my ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つSHARKS FAN energy

Vegas’s depth > Caps’s depth. Also Fleury > Holtby. However, Caps in 4 because that’s what I want. Or 5. Or 6. Or 7. Pls
