My picks:

Oilers in 7

Top goalie (save %): Sergei Bobrovsky
Team scoring 6 goals: Panthers
Game 1 winner: Oilers
Top assists: Leon Draisaitl
Conn Smythe: Connor McDavid
Top penalty minutes: Jonah Gadjovich

I'm going to try to root for Edmonton because it would end Canada's long wait for another Stanley Cup. But I make no promises.

It's not letting me populate the fields (the first game isn't for another 4 hours). So here's my picks. Florida in 6. Florida in G1. Reinhart for most goals. McDavid for most assists. Bob for best goalie %. Tkachuk for Conn Smythe. Marchand for penalty minutes. Panthers for 6+ goals. 32 goals for tiebreaker. I will say that I'm picking the Panthers but will probably be pulling for the Oilers. I just trust the Panthers to come up bigger in the big moments.

The form is back open again until midnight Eastern. Please enter your picks if you see it before then. I can fix it otherwise.
