2023 STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS: CONFERENCE FINALS UPDATE

 This is a Quick update on the Conference Finals Matchups in the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs.


Eastern Conference 


Florida Panthers Sweep Carolina Hurricanes 4-0

Game 1 took an eternity before Matthew Tkachuk scored in the 4th OT to give the Patnhers a 1-0 lead in the series; Sergei Bobrovsky made 63 saves in the win.

Game 2 went to Overtime again, and resulted in yet another Matthew Tkachuk GWG, this time the goal was scored just 1:51 into overtime on the powerplay.

Sergei Bobrovsky was the story of game 3, as he made 32 saves to shutout Carolina, 1-0 to give the Florida Panthers a commanding 3-0 lead in the series.

With 4.9 seconds left in the 3rd period and Florida on the Man Advantage due to a Jordan Staal tripping penalty, Matthew Tkachuk scored his 3rd Game winning goal of series to send the Panthers on the the Stanley Cup Finals.


The Florida Panthers are back in the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1996, and they have had by far the toughest path to it having to go through Boston, Toronto and Carolina.


Western Conference 


Vegas Golden Knights lead Dallas Stars 3-1

Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals went to Overtime before Brett Howden scored the Game Winning Goal 1:35 into OT; William Karlsson scored 2 Goals for Vegas and Roope Hintz had 3 points for Dallas.

The Dallas Stars led 2-1 the majority of the 3rd period but Jonathan Marchessault scored the tying goal late in the 3rd and Chandler Stephenson won it in OT just 1:12 into the overtime period; this put Vegas up 2-0 in the series.

Game 3 was a disaster for Dallas; they were blown out 4-0. Jake Oettinger was yanked and worst of all, Captain Jamie Benn was ejected early in the 1st period for an ill-advised Cross check to the head of Mark Stone. 

With Jame Benn suspended for 2 games and Dallas pushed to the brink of elimination, Dallas won Game 4 in OT thanks to a Joe Pavelski game-winning goal.


Vegas still has a high win probability as they get to return home for Game 5 and are looking to Gentlemans sweep the Dallas Stars.

Here are some tips to help you dominate your Fantasy Hockey Keeper Leagues. Number of Keepers and League Settings When deciding on keepers, it is very important to know how many keepers the league allows you to keep and the league scoring system, because there are players that work better in H2H CAT leagues as opposed to H2H leagues with standard scoring categories.  If you can only keep a few players, focus on those who provide the most value in your specific scoring format.

2024 Offseason Preview ft. New Jersey Devils

The New Jersey Devils the playoffs in the 2023-24 season after making it into the second round of the playoffs last season, and finished the season with a total of 81 points, a 38-39-5 record; With Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier in the midst of their primes, the New Jersey Devils really need to start to buckle down and put together the pieces for a contending team. The good news is that the New Jersey Devils have the benefit of having the 10th overall pick, which they could move to acquire a netminder, and they also have plenty of cap space to add other players as well. This coming offseason is a big one for the New Jersey Devils front office because after striking out on a netminder last offseason, the pressure to acquire a netminder this offseason is immense for GM Tom Fitzgerald, who might be on the hotseat if he can't find a way to fix the mess.

2024 Offseason Preview ft. St. Louis Blues

 The St. Louis Blues just missed out on the playoffs again in the 2023-24 season, and finished the season with a total of 92 points, a 43-33-6 record; St. Louis is one of those teams that has no direction, as they are stuck with a lot of aging players with bad contracts and are stuck in mediocracy unless they can find a way to move some of those contracts. Moving forward the Blues' primary goals should be trying to unload their bad contracts to gain picks and cap space and retool through the draft.  St. Louis has 8 draft picks in the 2024 NHL draft, this is who they should select. 2024 NHL Draft: 16-Michael Hage (C) 48-Spencer Gill (D) 56-Carson Wetsch (RW) 81-Timur Kol (D) 94-Hagen Burrows (LW) 113-Felix Lacerte (C) 145-Dawson Cowan (G) 209-Jan Golcic (D) 211-Maxim Velikov (RW) Though no big names jump out at you, this group of prospects is pretty solid and could play a vital role on the team a few years down the road. Retooling the Prospect pool is a long process, but the cr...
