5 NHL Teams In The 2019 Playoffs That Have A Shot At Winning The Stanley Cup

I am never one who makes predictions when it comes to the playoffs. That's usually because everyone's game changes this time of year. The teams that you are thinking shouldn't be there end up surprising you. But this year the playoff atmosphere feels different. It feels like it has been playoff time since the trade deadline back in February. Everyone has something to prove and have been making noise the last few months.

Here are a few of those teams that show they are a force to be reckoned with:

1. Nashville Predators

Predlines

It seems that every year at this time Nashville has been a force. They are a team that thrives under the pressure. This whole season they were impressive, which shouldn't shock anyone. This team has found the formula to winning, which why I believe they could go all the way this year.

2. Washington Capitals

Sports Illustrated

The only way to follow up winning the Stanley Cup is the have another amazing season. They look strong enough this year to repeat. The team is one that could almost be considered a dynasty.

3. Calgary Flames

SBNation

I know I am shocked to say it, but the Calgary Flames actually have a shot of winning the Stanley Cup. They have had a great season this year. The team is young enough to go the distance. They have a great core that they feed off of every night. This year will not be last that we hear from them.

4. Tampa Bay Lightning

Sports Illustrated

The Presidents Cup winners. The most wins this season. Enough said.

5. Las Vegas Golden Knights

Las Vegas Review Journal

It was a toss-up between them and Dallas, but I chose Vegas. Statistically, they had the better season. They are a strong enough team to outlast their opponents.

I may not know who is going to the Stanley Cup yet, but one thing is for sure the playoffs are going to be fun. It is going to be a good season to watch the Stanley Cup playoffs. Hockey fans everywhere will not be disappointed this year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
