Stanley Cup Playoffs bracket as of the Olympic break
22 comments
If this were the brackets, we could get to the conference finals if Vegas beats Utah.
Easy first round sweep 😤
walking into the stanley cup final lowkey
Let this not be a case of getting my heart broken in the last week or two of the season…
Hope it stays like this, tbh. All 4 teams on the top half are bigger problems/worse matchups than any of Vegas, Utah, or Edmonton. If it lands as shown, we have a decent path to the conference finals. ❤️🦑
I am still convinced that the east coast only has three colours: red, blue and yellow

Please god let us get there again
We’re so close.
The goal for us is to avoid the WC2 slot. The other ones we have a chance.
Playoff hockey is the best hockey – especially Kraken playoff hockey.
*points to the stands*
Kraken v Islanders Stanley Cup Finals
>! Highly doubt it, but a man can dream !<
The Central and Pacific this season are single handedly trying to demonstrate why it should go back to 1-8 seeding. That C2 vs C3 matchup in the first round is brutal for C3.
JUST FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GO BACK TO A SIMPLE 1 TO 8… I haven’t met anyone who prefers this divisional nonsense in round more. Give us some flipping variety.
You’re telling me we get to face playoff Tristan Jarry? Please please please let this happen
Facing Vegas, Ducks or Avs will amplify the rivalry
Not a panther in sight
No Florida??
*Campbell enters the discussion*
Oh god please 🙏
We should feel fortunate we would even be in one of the brackets, there are a lot of teams that don’t make it to the playoffs at all.
I want playoff hockey so fucking badly
win it all!!!
If you use points percentage (which accounts for the varying number of games played) instead of points, the actual standings would be:
– Pacific
1. Vegas
2. Seattle
3. Anaheim
– Central
1. Colorado
2. Dallas
3. Minnesota
– Western Wildcards
1. Utah
2. Edmonton
– Atlantic
1. Tampa Bay
2. Montreal
3. Detroit
– Metropolitan
1. Carolina
2. Pittsburgh
3. Long Island
– Eastern Wildcards
1. Buffalo
2. Boston
