My prediction is that every team on the board will win their first Stanley Cup before Toronto wins their next one.
Hahaha you're probably right
That's absolutely brutal
Wrong Toronto will win in 2027
I would lose my mind if Columbus won before Toronto good Lord
Very likely indeed.
The Sabres have missed the playoffs for longer than the Atlanta Thrashers existed
@@brandyndaigneault1758 ouch
They have the worst owner in the NHL.
@@axe2grind244 I agree
My prediction as of right now is Nashville. With that roster I can see them doing big things in the playoffs in the coming years.
Window will be short. Players like ROR, Stamkos, and March have contracts that are gonna be killers in if they start to fall off. That’s with the fact they are still paying dead cap for two players.
My only issue with Nashville is that they have a relatively short window as most of their big guys are already at their peak. Will be an exciting team to watch
@@icecoldpolitics8890 True. If those guys underperform, then Nashville will be in trouble.
@@JD200_ Right. Hopefully ROR and Stamkos can continue to perform. If so, Nashville will be dangerous. But as you both have said, they do have a short window.
Agreed with everything that has been said but Nashville and Vegas and few others have an advantage with a few others being Tax free states
Having been a Canucks fan since the first time I ever saw the team play in the old Western League back in 1969 (a 7-7 tie with the Portland Buckaroos if I recall), and having either attended, watched on TV or listened on radio (CKNW 98 with the legendary Jim Robson calling the games) practically every game over the 55 years they've been in the league, I'm leaning toward the Vancouver Canucks to be the next "virgin" Stanley Cup winner. I was in the nosebleeds of the Pacific Coliseum watching Bryan Trottier and his Islanders skate around on OUR ice hoisting the Stanley Cup back in 1982. I was one section away when Don Saleski and the Flyers went into the crowd in 1972 and threw punches with the fans. I remember seeing Bobby Orr register 6 assists on a New Year's day game after standing in line for hours to get tickets in 1973. One of my favorite memories is one of Andre Boudrias, during the Canucks' first NHL season, while killing a Chicago 2 man advantage, intercepting a point to point pass from Pat Stapleton to Bill White and skating in on rookie goalie Tony Esposito on a clean breakaway and scoring on a backhand deke. The Coliseum absolutely exploded. Over the years the Canucks have been the one constant in my life and I will be a loyal fan until my final days. So yeah, I'm hoping to see them hoist Lord Stanley's cup at least once before I shuffle off the mortal coil. Cheers!
I saw Bobby Orr play in Buffalo in 1972. And wasn't he something? Good luck to the Canucks I was pulling for them in the playoffs.
As a Sharks fan, a long-time hockey fan in general starting with the Capitals when I was a kid in the 70s, and someone who is starting to creep towards the end of middle age, I'm pulling for you. When I was a youngster, those orange and yellow V-sweaters made getting a Canucks hockey card an event.
As an adult I've been up to Vancouver three times, and every time was memorable in a good way. Stanley Park, Jericho Beach, good food, cool neighborhoods, sea kayaking. I watched the Canadians beat Venezuela in soccer up there last weekend. We went to a Sharks game up their in December of '22 and the Shark got spanked in the Golden Seals sweaters. The people are nice too. Canadians are such a nice contrast to many Americans....not that I don't love my own people...kinda...sometimes.
I'd take the Canucks or Predators over any western team other than the Sharks. I've met a lot of nice Canucks supporters up there.
And you don't have Burrows, LaPierre or Rafi Torres anymore. I hated him the most. And then he came to the Sharks...and I had to kind of like him...but still.
I hope so for your sake! You’ve been a good and dedicated fan obviously and you deserve to see your team lift the cup!!!!!
Buffalo and Minnesota seem to be very similar in their sports struggles.
My dad used to say it was like watching the same team in a different conference, a conference brother if you will.
True, although Minnesota has double the pain, having a team in all four major leagues.
@@oskarihonkasaari3215 They were able to be happy all of a week when the PWHL team won and then management went on a power trip and started gutting the winning coaches.
I think Buffalo has blown past Minny in NHL and NFL misery a looooooooong time ago. Nothing catastrophic happens to Minny teams, where as Bills and Sabres fans know for a fact something very bad is going to happen and to nobody’s shock, it always does.
@@axe2grind244Nothing catastrophic happens to Minnesota teams?? Vikings: get destroyed in NFCCG in '17 a week after miraculous "Minneapolis Miracle" with a chance to be the first team to play a Super Bowl in their home stadium. 2015 Blair Walsh misses a 27 yard field goal in 3rd coldest NFL game to lose NFC wild card game, 2012 lose to rival Packers in playoffs, 2009 Brett Favre throw across body for INT in NFCCG--part of biggest "bountygate" bust in NFL history, 2000 NFCCG lose 41-0 with rumors Gianta have access to MN headset radio, 1998 NFCCG Gary Anderson misses 1st kick of year to help Vikings lose, 1st 15-1 team to miss SB, 1987 Darren Nelson drop at goaline to tie game late in NFCCG, 1970s (including 1969 seaaon) lost 4 SBs in 7 years, 1975 Divisional rd Hail Mary with no call pushoff to lose (considered best Vikings team). In the past month a Vikings draft pick dies by getting hit by a drunk driver. Their star olineman died from heat stroke in '01. They've had multiple tragic deaths. Wolves: lose 7 straight 1st rd playoff series, followed by 14 year playoff drought. 4 playoff series wins in 35 years, plus top 5 worst winning % in all of sports. Twins: lose record 18 straight playoff games, no playoff series wins for 21 years, Phil Cuzzy "foul ball" call against Yankees in ALDS. Wild/North Stars: 49 seasons with no Stanley Cup win, and only 2 appearances (most recent was 33 years ago), Wild have only 4 playoff series wins in 23 years, last was 9 years ago, cap hell for years due to punitive NHL penalties, good years happened to be dyring Chicago dynasty, Derek Boogaard tragic OD death while still living in MN. Tldr: you have no idea what you're talking saying nothing catastrophic happens to Minnesota teams. There is no US sports market with a longer championship appearance drought (cululative), and there's no worse place to be a sports fan.
@@axe2grind244 Nothing catastrophic?????
Vikings: 4 super bowl losses in 10 years. Followed by 5 NFC championship game losses, two of which (98 and 09) are some of the most painful playoff losses of any team in league history. The love boat scandal. Blair Walsh miss. Missing the playoffs on a hail Mary. The Herschel Walker trade.
Hockey: Losing your team to relocation from the state of hockey to Texas of all places, after which said team wins the cup. Getting a new franchise which has made it past the second round once. Signing two of the worst contracts in the league that gut the teams future for 15 years.
How is that "nothing catastrophic"?
Buffalo has had catastrophic things as well, but I would rate the suffering in these two sports roughly equal.
The two 1970 and the four 1998-2000 expansion teams are still on that board.
Great observation
My heart, sabres.
My brain, everyone else
This is the correct answer
@@T0eTickler30 Sadly, yes.
My heart: def not the Sabres
My brain: absolutely positively 1000% not the Sabres
Utah will win the Cup before the Sabres make the post season. Pegula is a disgrace and needs to sell the team now.
@@axe2grind244 disagree with the first point, strongly agree with the second
As someone born and raised in nashville, this city fell in love with the team day one. The amount of fun and unique chants that came from section 303 over the years, to the way the town rallied to keep the team here, its just buzzing with energy every night, and when playoffs are in town its something special. Plus the city itself is a cery nice spot and not unreasonably priced to live in so i could see why people like coming here. I cant think of a single player the fans turned on that didnt deserve it (looking at you radulov)
people outside of nashville dont realize this, but nashville is a hockey city first and foremost. the city’s embraced the preds wholeheartedly. to the point where local schools put up signs in support of the preds if they make the playoffs (especially 2016-17). the titans have never gotten that treatment, even though they came around the same time. BNA airport is loaded with preds merch and nothing titans. the city would be electric if the preds win the cup
@@diggsfather yep, it warms my heart to see a city as a whole embrace the team like they have. Going to see their games live is an amazing time usually too, I can't speak for anywhere else besides Columbus and that was fine, but the energy inside and outside the arena is so good!
And let's be real, the titans have been nothing but disappointment ever since the super bowl in what, 99? god its been forever lmfao
Go preds!!!
As a long time Northern Californian Sharks fan, I remember some epic playoff battles against the Predators where the games were always tight and aI remember their fan base being rabid and awesome. Barry Trotz is fantastic too; I would have loved him as coach of the Sharks when the Sharks were good. Nashville, along with Vancouver, is that team in the West I often find myself rooting for when the Sharks are out.
Also, I've been to Nashville, and it's a great place. We looked at Vandy with my daughter, walked the city, I got a cool t-shirt at the Ernest Tubb record store (since closed 😕), and best of all, we made it to the Station Inn on the drop-in bluegrass jam session night, drank beers, and ate popcorn and pizza with really nice, friendly southern people. We didn't make it to the Ryman because we only had one night (college tour road trip), but we will; that place is a bucket list item for me. I'll find a good show around the same time as a Sharks away game, and it will be amazing. I'll meet cool people for sure.
Oh yeah, Nashville and Vegas are examples on how to properly establish a Hockey team in a non-traditional hockey market from the start. (Of course, I'm not a fan of the Predators, since I'm not a fan of Nashville in general, but that comes with being born and raised in Knoxville, and I tried to become a Minnesota Wild fan which kinda gave me mixed results, especially when, for a time, I wasn't even planning on moving to Minnesota...)
Gotta love Shannon having Gary's photo framed on his shelf
But he calls him Wilson
It's personally signed, but Shannon keeps quiet about that.
Everything goes through Bettman.
World Peace - Bettman
Climate change - Bettman
Sour Milk - Bettman
That hangnail that won't stop stinging after you pull it out - Bettman
Phil Conners getting stuck in Groundhog Day - Bettman
the War of 1812 - Bettman

Imagine a 1970’s expansion Stanley cup final.
Canucks vs Sabres
The hockey fandom will lose it’s mind
It would be canceled and the cup would instead be awarded to the Knights lol
@@xSG199x Before the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs ended their World Series droughts, author and Red Sox fan Stephen King said that if the two teams ever met in the World Series, they would split the first six games and then the world would end before the seventh game could be played.
love to see that!!!
That would be kind of cool, but can you imagine the feelings of the fans for the losing team?
After 6 hard fought 1 goal games with each team winning 3 each, series headed to Game 7. Game 7 is once again a tight game with the score deadlock at 2-2 after 3 periods heading into OT.
During intermission, World War III broke out, missiles and nukes are being fired around the globe and the world ends before OT started.
Many years and a couple of generation later, the world rebuilt into a healthy society again, sports leagues are being re introduced again. After the NHL gets reintroduced, Gary Bettman IV (current Gary’s great grandson) is named commissioner and the league is healthy and running again. However, both Canucks and Sabres remained cup less year after year. The greatest debate among hockey fans would be who would’ve won the cup between the Canucks and Sabres the year the world almost ended.
Buffalo had a good shot in 99 but, they got rick-rolled by the league, who let the illegal foot in the crease goal stand...NO GOAL!
He had possession of the puck before his foot entered the crease. It was a good goal. Also, that was the dumbest rule that they have had since I started watching hockey.
Pulling out a framed picture of Bettman made me bust a gut.
Have you not noticed it in the background?
@@csolivais1979 I usually watch on my phone, can't really make out anything in the background
@michaelyano6094 I watch on my phone as well, but I think it's easier for me because I knew it has been there. I didn't notice at first because I usually just listen, but about a week after he put it up I saw someone make a comment about it.
I think right now it's Vancouver. They have the offensive ability, most of the defense, and excellent goaltending as long as Demko stays healthy and they all got a lot of experience this past season. I sure hope this comment ages well.
And Silovs is a solid backup if nothing else
Please Vancouver
My personal preference is Nashville because i am a capitals fan, and Trotz might be my favorite person in hockey...
Nashville as it stands now will likely be the next new champion
With the right moves and strategy, Vancouver and Winnipeg could get there as well
Utah Hockey Club.. because of course
Don’t make me laugh
They honestly don’t look that bad.
If they could make 1-2 big FA signings in next 2-3 years I wouldn’t put it past them to make some noise.
They have the cap space and picks to make some aggressive trades if they are hot this season
the hockey gods will approve, hockey doesn't belong in the desert
If they do pull an Avalanche/Ravens and quickly win the title, then I wouldn't blame Coyotes fans for immediately either putting Alex Meruelo on a hitlist or burning at least one of the three arenas they struggled in to the ground.
The sharks probably won’t be first in that list but could surprise people in terms of when it happens
Preach!!
Pulling for the Canucks. Expansion bros stick together!
🤜🤛
I am optimistic as a Nashville fan but unfortunately the team has a history of not preforming when they’re expected to.
As long as they stay the underdog and don't score first they'll be unstoppable! 😂 I've never seen a sports team give up so many games ahead by 2 scores
@@nickh4354 when the canucks scored with 6 seconds left to force OT, i knew immediately the preds were losing that game
@@nickh4354 Don't remind me :/
@@diggsfatherit still hurts
Canucks and Preds seem like the likely candidates. Both have good cores (I'd say canucks are better, though I'm likely biased since I live in Vancouver) and, more importantly, seem to now have competent, aggressive management teams.
I feel like Shannon's gonna get a call from bettman for that throwing under the bus statement. Lol
Finally Shannon spilled the beans. It's all on Bettman!
That makes me wonder if it's not Shannon himself who pulls the strings...
The gary betman picture is beautiful
Nashville in the nearest future. Vancouver could build something further
Thank you very much for this video. I'm currently looking for the team I'll be a fan of in the NHL, and I have an inexplicable attraction to teams that are underdogs. Thanks to you, I now understand that I should focus my viewing in the coming season exclusively on the teams that appear in this video, which already reduces the 32 teams to only 10 for me. Now that's a very significant progress. You helped me a lot, so again....thanks
The sabres welcome you!
Utah clearly
Nashville, Vancouver, Winnipeg
Everyone else is too far out to say. Even Winnipeg has off ice drama from ticket sales
Poor Buffalo, it feels like half of the Florida bench came from Buffalo and they got nothing from it
Vancouver
Jets will move to Hous, Portl, or another big major US market before ever winning a Cup, Canucks won't win a Cup with this current core
I bet it might be Minny, out of the blue in the next 3 or 4 yrs, or SJ in the n xt 5 or 6 yrs, with the team their are assembling.
So happy that St. Louis is no longer part of this list!
Same bro, I still watch game 7 highlights and the celebration /chief pre game 7 speech all the time. It's my happy place lol
@@theramplocalthe Utree "Congrats Blues (2019)" clip after their cup win is another really satisfying video clip to watch.
They haven't been on that list for 5 years
Your knowledge never ceases to amaze me. I hope Utah does well and I’m a long time Phoenix resident.
Bettman’s frame watching THG in the background is a level of comedy I didn’t know was possible.
While Buffalo on paper did not have as good of a season this year as opposed to last, that is only partially true. This season, Buffalo actually had more regulation wins than last year, and actually had a positive goal differential. They tightened up their defensive play, and the goals dried up on offense because they had some much more substantial injuries to their forward group, where last season they were mostly healthy in that regard. Not saying they're the next team to win a Cup, just that the "step back" the team took this season is often overblown.
I agree with you on that. It’s just hard to see who would fall out for them to get in the playoffs
@@JD200_Tampa, Detroit is still on the bubble at best (in my opinion), and the fact it'll likely (at least in my opinion) be 5/3 Atlantic/Metro split for the playoffs this season will help. I can't see the Rags or Carolina maintaining their momentum from last season after what has transpired this so far this off-season.
Just here to say the classic statement that Ottawa Senators are on the stanley cup multiple time, and I count it to make other fans mad.
Especially Canuck fans cause the Millionaires aren't the Canucks... lol.
They’re on the bowl part too eh? So they’ll never get removed
They count, same city, same name, same colors. Ottawa has Cups. I don't know why THG doesn't count them
@@dustinrhodes4793Not the same franchise, that's why. It's pretty simple.
I am hoping that ottawa gets a modern cup and breaks the canadian based team drought.
As a Jackets fan, you are right, there are lots of question marks. Until the Jackets learn to play in the Metropolitan division, success will be fleeting. The last three years in Metropolitan division play, out of a possible 52 points (26 divisional games) the Jackets have recorded 18-18 and 17 points. That's 53 points out of a possible 156. 13 of those points have been accumulated against the Flyers, 9 each against the Rangers and Devils. On the low end, 5 each against The Islanders and Pittsburgh and 6 against Washington and Carolina. last year the Jackets finished with 66 points which left them 15 points behind 7th place New Jersey. It's possible the Jackets could increase the point total in the standings by 20% to say 79 points and still finish last. That's a sobering thought.
If you listen really closely, you can hear the world booing when you pulled out that Bettman picture
Nashville seems like they’d have the best odds right now. I’d wish that under Waddell the Jackets can get back to the playoffs and be competitive.
What if your Bettman picture was like a voodoo doll and every time you moved it Bettman would go flying across his office in New York?
I think Hakstol was holding Seattle back. If Wright emerges as an offensive talent this year the Kraken could be quite good. Really happy with the coaching additions of Dan and Jess
you're certainly drafting well, except you never take defensemen. but you'll be very happy with catton.
Nash or Van next.
IMO Minnesota, an already competitive team with a top 5 prospect pool and multiple young players
Bah-ha-ha-ha-ha !!! The Mild?? Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha !!! Oh, too funny!!
@@michaellord9745 Currently they’re the “mild” however they have one of the best young D, some really solid young forwards, one of the best goaltending prospects of this century, and on top of that are already fairly competitive despite having Parise and Suter buyouts. I get it’s Minnesota so it’s hard to see them winning but of all these teams I think they have the best chance. Coming from a jets fan who’s biggest rival is the wild
with wallstedt in net and buium-faber as the top pairing on defense, they have a good shot. but they need a damn top line center. i don't know if that's rossi or khusnutdinov, and if not, they don't have it.
Since it seems Nashville and Vancouver are the most straightforward picks, it'll somehow be Seattle or Ottawa for no apparent reason.
thats because someone is going to pick up two future hall of famers in the fifth round and then the sixth round next year. All the scouts missed on them and some how a 140 point forward and a lock down d man standing at 6'3 with great skating ability was just, I don't know not gonna be good enough.
i like the mustard tigers
Love the jersey.
My guess is going to be Vancouver or Nashville.
Chances for next year:
1. Predators
2. Canucks
3. Wild
4. Jets
5. Utah
6. Kraken
7. Senators
8. Sabers
9. Blue Jackets
10. Sharks
With that logo Columbus should change their name to Cannons for the alliteration.
Of the 9 teams on the board, I think there are 3 teams that i consider as legitimate threats to win their first Stanley cup. Those teams are Winnipeg, Vancouver, and Nashville.
there were 10 teams.
Love the sweater!!!
I'd say Nashville or Vancouver, though also hoping that San Jose gets one soon, when they manage to get themselves back together.
Shane Wright is definitely that superstar forward Seattle needs if he can stay healthy. Hershey was too deep for CV to overcome this year, but Hershey could not handle him when he was on the ice, and he's only 20 and hasn't scratched the surface of what he can develop into. His vision on the ice is just unreal and you can't teach that.
Only 11 years away, never give up.
At this point I just want a third round appearance from my Bluejackets.
Saw the framed photo and felt truly compelled to
BOOOOOOOOOO!
I'd love to share a video suggestion, if it hasn't already been done on this channel: "What team that hasn't made the Stanley Cup final this century will be in it next?"
There are 5 teams that have never played in the Stanley Cup final (Coyotes/Utah, Blue Jackets, Wild, Jets, Kraken). There are 3 teams yet to reach the final since the 20th century (Maple Leafs, Islanders, Sabres). I'd love to see a ranking between these 8 teams.
This isn't a "who will win a championship" video, but rather a comparison of who is more likely to break their Stanley Cup final drought. Note the difference between being in the Cup final and winning it all.
Lastly, I'd like to thank Shannon for everything he has done for this wonderful channel. His videos are informative, impartial, consistent, and hilarious. Thank you, Shannon!
Sincerely,
~ Disheartened Islanders fan
Rooting for Sabres but preds may have the edge among those teams. Trotz is my reason
Shannon put your channel on a time out until Sabres make the playoffs
😂😂😂
Quite interesting that you had Buffalo pictured for the video... My first thought was that the Sabres were finally going to break the franchise drought... By the way, this comment could be biased due to the fact that I am a lifelong member of the Sabres Mafia 🤟
vancouver, winnipeg, and nashville are the most capable of doing it now. in 5 years, it'll be minnesota, san jose, seattle, and utah.
I hope it's the Sharks or Sens
I'm not a Buffalo fan. I don't like New York teams in general. But a team that's been in the league as Long as they've been def needs to gives their fans SOMETHING.
Personally I'm hoping for the Canucks or the Sharks since I have friends who are fans of those teams who supported the Panthers with me this off-season. :)
Realistically I'm thinking Nashville or the Canucks are most likely.
I also would be happy to see the Senators do well since I want to see Brady Tkachuck experience some success too after seeing how much he supported Matthew in the playoffs.
Canucks are the next team they have a franchise goalie and terrific centres
Canucks or Nashville but maybe Krakens by 2030 😅
Fun fact about the Blue Jackets: even the year they were top five (more specifically, fourth) in the entire league (2016-17), they finished third in their division. Washington won the President's Trophy with Pittsburgh hot on their tails. Is it any wonder no one picked them in those playoffs? A lot of their ranking was from a 16-game winning streak; unlike this year's Oilers they were very ordinary outside of that run, and with the aforementioned Penguins being their first-round opponent, that was never going to cut it. Throw in a collapse by a not-yet-ready version of Bobrovsky and you have a very ordinary five game loss.
I'd be happy to see a Buffalo-Minnesota final, wearing the classic Sabres original uniforms and the Wild in North Stars colors.
Never happen. The Mild ought to be kicked out of the league. Loser franchise.

The Pominville/Vanek Memorial StanleyCup
Gotta be Nashville or the Couve. Everyone else seems significantly further behind.
MInnesota's PWHL team broke their drought and maybe now more of their teams can start winning championships
Ummm, maybe not.
At least one of Minnesota's previous women's hockey teams also won a championship. The roadblock appears to be men's sports.
Ya the curse only affects men's sports, the Lynx were a dynasty in the WNBA and that didn't do anything to help the men's teams lol
As a Sabre fan, I don't blame ya for the playoff drought. In Buffalo, we all believe hortan cursed our team when he passed away
The real question is which teem comes off the board last?

That r2d2 jerseys dope
Good ol off season hockey talk thanks! I could see the preds getting the next cup even tho I’m life Canucks fan hopefully I’m wrong
There are a few states that do not have a state income tax with Tennessee being one. This does allow for players to sign a contract for less money but earn, after taxes, the same or even more than playing elsewhere in the league.
Same with seattle

@@Slipings lol of course you’re an oilers fan
@@Slipings Just by you saying that, it makes Oilers fans legitimately 100x worse than Canucks fans.
I am sticking with Canucks for Cup summit.
Made a bucket list in 2008 when everyone was doing those for ALS fundraising. I did not include Vancouver at the time thinking they were soon to win.. 🙃
My list then was Hawks Caps Blues Leafs…
it is Bettmans fault. the Canadian teams have to hold up the American teams financially, but they aren't allowed to use their money to build their team? The rules of the league are specifically designed to aid the American teams.
1. Canucks
2. Nashville
3. Winnipeg
I predict every team after 1991 will win their first Stanley Cup. Post from a frustrated Sharks fan.
Me and Shannon - cursed expansion bros
Can't wait for the next call from Bettman to The HG after that intro!
My vote Vancouver.
im sure Gary heard of that joke by now...if i was Gary id totally start a draft one year with ''hold on i gotta check the plan with THG'' then he takes his phone and laughs it off at some point
Buffalo being the best farm the NHL is crazy, having 5 players leave and win stanley cups
Sabres 2017 Roster Notable Players....
Eichel- Cup
O'reilly-Cup
Okposo- Cup
Rodriguez- Cup
Reinhart- Cup/57 Goals
Lehner- Cup/Vezina runner up
Ullmark-Vezina Winner
Evander Kane- Great Forward
How this team was so bad has to be one of the biggest mysteries in NHL history...
Any video with the sens mentioned = 🎉
LOVE THE STAR WARS GEAR SHANNON!!! REBELS FOR LIFE BROTHER!!
If its utah i will cry
spot on man. FYI, Preds, Kraken, and Knights also play in tax free states, too.
For the Western Conference it will be Winnipeg vs. Nashville
And for the Western Conference it will be Panthers vs. Rangers
I know that they are in the same division but I mean the important teams
Milan Lucic running over Ryan Miller killed the Sabres soul.
Lol you can also add for Buffalo that since Vancouver rioted they havent been in the playoffs also.
I sure wish I had a framed picture of Gary Bettman in my house
It would be nice if the hockey gods helped Buffalo, Vancouver and San Jose get off the board. But I guess 1 miracle is tough enough, let alone 3
The best way to help Buffalo is to move them somewhere else.
I think I agree with your take that it's probably Nashville or Vancouver next
I got nashville at the top . As next best team to get their 1st cup
The middle of this video is the graveyard left behind by the b2b Penguins cups
Honestly, Predators. Trotz is cooking in Nashville.
Seattle needs a cup. It's been too long, 107 years... :c
So happy and grateful the panthers are on the board anymore 🙏🏾
getting a bad feeling edmonton's gonna lock it up for a couple of years anyway
Why do you have a framed photo of Betman??? That’s just weird.
Gary watches over all.
because he uses his magic voodoo powers to ensure a Canadian team never wins the cup.
