The Stanley Cup Playoffs begin tomorrow, and before the playoffs get underway, the NHL has released the bracket challenge for the playoffs. I have filled out two brackets: one based on who I want to see win and advance, and one based on who I think will win and advance. Both are different but intertwined at the same time. Some of you may notice a pattern or trend of teams and players I tend to favor and not favor in these brackets.
Let's first begin with the who I want bracket, followed by the who I think bracket:
Who I Want:
First Round:
Lightning vs. Maple Leafs: Lightning in 6
Rangers vs. Penguins: Rangers in 7
Bruins vs. Hurricanes: Bruins in 7
Panthers vs. Capitals: Capitals in 7
Wild vs. Blues: Wild in 7
Flames vs. Stars: Stars in 6
Avalanche vs. Predators: Avalanche in 6

Bruins vs. Rangers: Rangers
Avalanche vs. Wild: Avalanche

I'll try to watch as many playoff games as I can, but I know I won't be able to watch every game due to other priorities in life. Good luck to everyone in the playoffs!
