Stanley Cup Playoffs Open Thread: May 18, 2024

With the Colorado Avalanche season over, it’s time to sit back and watch hockey. Even if it doesn’t involve Avs fans' favorite teams, at least this matchup tonight could determine who fans will be rooting for against the Dallas Stars.

The Vancouver Canucks currently lead the series against the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 with a late clutch goal in Game Five by J.T. Miller. If Vancouver can seal the deal, they will reach the Western Conference Final for the first time since 2011 with former Av defenders Nikita Zadorov and Ian Cole.

Meanwhile, Edmonton has not been at its best, with questionable goaltending and Connor McDavid not being the freak of nature he is in this series.
