My Opinion, NYI make a deep run. Not sure anyone remembers wat they did 2 years ago against the Pens. They lost the series in 6, but completely outplayed the Pens. The factor that year was they had no goaltending, their speed and passing was unreal. That Pens team went on to face the Big Bad Bruins in the conference finals, only to lose. Now 2 years later, they have the same core with upgrades in net with Halak, to the D with Boychuk and Leddy, and they have the best 4th line in hockey, who likes to play physical and can score. I think Tavares is ready to show everyone wat he's capable of. He's very close to Crosby talent wise. I think they can make the finals IMO.
