At the end of the month, we will know who will be playing in 2014 Stanley Cup playoffs. There will be 16 teams vying for the coveted cup. Playoff schedule will be finalized at the begging of April 2014. Given what happened so far, some notables are expected to make the list. Playoffs are expected to start on April 16th and defending on how games will progress will go on until April 30th. We have used star power, plotlines, arena atmosphere, game outcome especially game seven probabilities, and many other factors to come up with the following list. Don’t forget, many of the teams will include plenty of crowed favorite bearded men and Los Angeles will be the one to watch.
In the Eastern Conference familiar names expected to include Pittsburgh, Boston, Detroit, Columbus, Montreal, Tampa Bay, NY Rangers and Philadelphia.
In the Western Conference the picture is much clear. Teams will include Los Angeles, Colorado, Minnesota, San Jose, Chicago, Dallas, St. Louis, and Anaheim. Surprisingly, all three California teams are showing a strong comeback this year and many expect them to make it to playoffs. If there is a game or series between Ducks and Dallas it will definitely thrill many fans.
