I'm trying a new strategy this year.

Tampa Bay vs Columbus: Columbus because it's nearer Canada
Philadelphia vs Montreal: Montreal because it's in Canada
Washington vs NY Islanders: NY because it's nearer Canada
Boston vs Carolina: Boston because it's nearer Canada
Las Vegas vs Chicago: Chicago because it's nearer Canada
Colorado vs Phoenix: Colorado because the team used to be in Canada
St. Louis vs Vancouver: Vancouver because it's in Canada
Dallas vs Calgary: Calgary because it's in Canada

I admittedly don't have a good handle on the playoffs this year. Here are my picks.

The Blue Jackets swept the Lightning last year in a major upset. Tampa Bay will be eager to avenge that loss, and I'm picking the Lightning.

I didn't realize Philly was that good. Given their performance in the round-robin, give me the Flyers over the Canadiens.

I have no preference, but I'll take the Capitals over the Islanders in a close series.

The Bruins have not played well in the bubble. I like the Hurricanes as my upset pick.

I rolled some dice, and I got the Golden Knights advancing over the Blackhawks.

In this match-up of former Canadian teams, I'll take the Avalanche (formerly the Nordiques) over the Coyotes (the original Jets).

The defending champions also sucked in the round-robin stage, but I have to take my Blues over the Canucks.

The Stars, our nemesis recently. I must take the Flames.

Damn, I hadn't realized the Coyotes were the Jets. I guess that shows how much I've been following the NHL in recent decades.

Still, Quebec > Rest of Canada, so I'm satisfied with my choice of Avalanche.

Moreover, if South Park is to be believed, Colorado has winters.

Islanders over Flyers
Bruins over Lightning
Golden Knights over Canucks
