We need a 2C and need to stay healthy. If that happens, I would feel really good about our chances.

Are the Stanley Cup finals going to be on the weather channel? Lightning, Hurricanes, and Avalanche. Well, June is the start of Hurricane season, and the Canes made the finals in 2 of the years that the Olympics hosted NHLers (2002, 2006), extending the season.

Tampa is really good this year – it’s not going to be easy

Now we gotta reverse jinx this. Count Florida out at your own peril, if they go on a big run I know who I’m blaming!

I don’t see it happening with the current lineup. I think it limits how far we can go to get out of the East let alone get by a team like the Avs. Hoping for a couple changes here in the next 2 weeks.

tampa ridiculously stacked with stars while we have stankoven at 2C. The team seriously needs to get a 1C level 2C like Thomas to play with ehlers and blake while stankoven is moved to wing with staal and martinook

If we add a nice center piece, yes. Otherwise, no. Also, I wouldn’t put it past the Panthers to make a run into the playoffs still. Chance they make a big move.

Bruh the Panthers aren’t out of it. Fully expect them to make a strong push for the playoffs

Just seems like we don’t match up well with Florida so hopefully they fall off.

We do *not* count the Panthers out until we see Marchand on something green with a golf club in his hand.
And we do *not* look past the Lightning until Vasilevskiy is playing out his final season in the KHL.
And frankly, the Sabres worry me. Zero pressure. Zero expectations. They’re going to hurt somebody’s feelings in the first round.

Where 2C?
