Over the last few prediction pieces, I’ve managed to narrow it down to the final four teams in this 24-team playoff format. After predicting the play-in, round-robin, quarter-final, and semi-final series, there are a couple of teams favorited to achieve a deep playoff run still in the mix. There are also a couple of surprise teams. In the Eastern Conference Finals, there is a match-up between the Philadelphia Flyers and the New York Islanders. In the Western Conference Finals, the St. Louis Blues take on the Colorado Avalanche.
Usually, the best hockey is played in the Conference Final round.
