PWH's 2023 Stanley Cup Playoff Preview

It will be a Boston Bruins/Colorado Avalanche Stanley Cup Final Classic

The best time of year is here once again. It’s the Stanley Cup playoffs and the first night had upsets (Kings over the Oilers in OT, anybody?) as well as bone-crunching hits like Matthew Dumba crushing Joe Pavelski in a Wild/Stars series that looks like it’s going to be a bruise-fest.

There was, of course, also the Boston Bruins once again winning in solid fashion over the Florida Panthers like they’ve done all season, even if it clearly wasn’t Boston’s best while they were missing their captain, Patrice Bergeron, from the lineup on Monday night.

The bottom is that this is the best time of year hockey fans, hockey media, hockey players and everybody associated with the National Hockey League.
