Who Will Win the Eastern Conference Finals?
Boston needed seven games to eliminate the
Maple Leafs and six games to knock-off the Blue Jackets in the second round.
Carolina shocked everyone by defeating the Capitals in seven games and they
followed that up by pulling off a four game sweep of the Islanders.

The Bruins won the regular season series 2-1.
Both wins by the Bruins were by a goal (3-2 and 4-3). Carolina won the second
meeting 5-3. These two teams last played against each other in the NHL playoffs
in 2009 and the Hurricanes won that series in seven games.
Carolina are playing great, but the Bruins
have better top-end guys and more depth. The only way the Hurricanes advance is
if Tuukka Rask starts to struggle, but he has played in every game during the
playoffs while posting a 2.02 GAA and .938 save percentage.

The Boston Bruins will Advance to the Stanley Cup
Who Will Win the Western Conference Finals?
San Jose are an aging team that knows this is
the best chance they’ll likely have to make it to the Stanley Cup again. The
Sharks played in the Stanley Cup in 2015-16, but they lost to the Penguins. I
also worry about how much they have left in the tank. The Sharks took seven
games to eliminate the Golden Knights (Round 1) and Avalanche (Round 2).

The St. Louis Blues defeated the Jets in six
games (Round 1) and the Stars in seven games (Round 2). The Blues came into the
playoffs hot and they’ve carried on winning. This team has had excellent
goaltending from Jordan Binnington and the defense has shutdown the opposition
when it matters the most throughout the 2019 NHL playoffs.
The Sharks have the bigger names in Erik
Karlsson and Brent Burns, but I’m betting on the Blues winning the Western
Conference. The Sharks won the regular season series (2-1), but the Blues are
way better defensively and more built for the playoffs than San Jose.

The St. Louis Blues will Advance to the Stanley Cup
If the Stanley Cup features the Bruins vs.
Blues, we’re in for a gritty series that’ll involve a lot of hard hitting and
likely low-scoring games. While not the most exciting for some fans, I would
love to watch these two teams battle it out for the 2019 NHL Stanley Cup.

For those looking to place a bet on the
Stanley Cup futures market at this point, I would recommend a wager on the
Blues at +275. You could potentially wait until after the first couple games in
San Jose for a better price if they struggle on the road, but even if they go
1-1 to start the series, the price is going to go down as they head home for
game 3.
