The 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs has been home to a number of familiar matchups from the past thus far. The same cannot be said for the upcoming second-round series between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Carolina Hurricanes.
The Tampa Bay Lightning are one of the most talented teams in the National Hockey League. They’re fast, experienced, well-coached, and “know what it takes” to win in the postseason having lifted Lord Stanley’s mug last summer inside the NHL bubble.
With the return of Steven Stamkos and Nikita Kucherov to the lineup, the Tampa Bay Lightning will be more formidable than ever. They will be meeting their in-state rival Florida Panthers for the first time in the postseason.
The NHL is in the latter stages of the regular season, and teams have made their choice of whether to go for the playoffs or stock up and try again next year. When the NHL made the new divisional alignment prior to the 2020-21 season, the Central Division was in for a fight.
Welcome to a special Saturday edition of Ice Picks, hockey fans. Tonight we are hoping for some offense for both of our picks, so let’s get to it.
Welcome back to Ice Picks, and thank you to those following along as we try to breakdown these NHL cards. Thursday we split our picks as the Devils, thanks to a 47 save performance by Mackenzie Blackwood, edged out the Rangers. Things were evened out with another supreme goaltending performance as Brian Elliot and the Flyers blanked the Sabres 3-0. Tonight we are going slightly conservative again as we back some favorites. Let’s hop right in pick some winners, time for Ice Picks.
Hockey fans rejoice! We are finally getting live NHL action after what seems like forever. With all the negativity floating
Are you wondering why Florida keeps coming up in sports-related news recently? It’s probably because Florida was the temporary center of the sports world during this unusual year.
The 2019-20 edition of the Dallas Stars…where do we begin? If we were to tell you last November that the Stars would be three wins away from a Stanley Cup championship (their second one in franchise history) you’d probably have an eyebrow (or two) raised along with a friendly chuckle. Well, hockey fans, here we are in the heart of September, and the Stars along with the Lightning are the two remaining teams mired in a heat-of-the-night battle to hoist Lord Stanley’s proverbial mug.
The center-ice spot is arguably the single most important position in the National Hockey League. Teams are always seeking talent, intelligence, depth, size, speed, and sandpaper down the middle of the ice as they look to build a contending roster capable of winning a Stanley Cup.
The Stanley Cup Playoffs are any hockey fan’s dream. Drama, excitement, unpredictability, passion, and despair all highlight one of the best tournaments on the planet
Last season, the Tampa Bay Lightning finished the regular season with an astounding 62-16-4 record to go along with 128 points-signifying one of the best single-season records in National Hockey League history. A week-and-a-half later, their season was over as the Bolts were swept in the first round in surprising (and convincing) fashion at the hands of the Columbus Blue Jackets sending shockwaves across the hockey world.
