Lou Predicto here on who will advance and win this years NHL 2025 Stanley Cup.
EASTERN CONFERENCE:
ROUND #1
Toronto Maple Leafs VS Ottawa Senators
Even though Ottawa beat the leafs in the regular season series 3 games to 0. I still think Leafs have enough fire power and their goaltendings hold off the Senators. The Ottawa Senators wont back down and give the leafs a tough battle.
Toronto Maple Leafs to win in 6 games.
ROUND #1
Tampa Bay Lighting VS Florida Panthers.
Anther tough battle in the state of Florida. The defending Stanley Cup Champions have added the pest Brad Marchant. The Panther have made it to the stanley cup finals 2 years in a row. Tampa bay winning 2 stanly cups in recent past years also making it to the finals in 2022 and losing in the finals. This will go 7 games 2 great goaltenders. I will give the slight edge to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Tampa Bay Lighting to win in 7 games

Montreal made the playoffs on the last day of the regular season. Now with added spark from Russian star Ivan Demidov in the line up. Washington Capitals is still the stronger better team.
