2024 NHL Playoffs

(1/4) > >>

mellongraig:
Well, it's that time of year once again as the 2024 NHL Playoffs begin tomorrow. Is this the year the Stanley Cup drought ends in Canada after 31 years? With four Canadian teams in the hunt, it's certainly possible if they make a deep playoff run...

And I will say the last week of the regular season was wild in its own way with four teams that were still in the hunt for the final wildcard spot in the East until the past Tuesday night. But in the end, as much as I felt bad for the Detroit Red Wings, Philadelphia Flyers, and Pittsburgh Penguins who came up just short in the quest for the playoff hunt, these are the match ups for this playoff season:

Eastern Conference:
(A1) Florida Panthers vs. Tampa Bay Lightning (WC1)
(A2) Boston Bruins vs. Toronto Maple Leafs (A3)
(M1) New York Rangers vs. Washington Capitals (WC2)
(M2) Carolina Hurricanes vs. New York Islanders (M3)

Western Conference:
(C1) Dallas Stars vs. Vegas Golden Knights (WC2)
(C2) Winnipeg Jets vs. Colorado Avalanche (C3)
(P1) Vancouver Canucks vs. Nashville Predators (WC1)
(P2) Edmonton Oilers vs. Los Angeles Kings (P3)

It all starts Saturday, April 20th and will be split among the ESPN/Turner networks in the US, Sportsnet networks including CBC and others in Canada, as well as on local regional sports networks for the first round.
