The quest for Lord Stanley’s Cup begins tonight, with five Canadian teams vying for glory, including rivals Montreal Canadiens and the Maple Leafs, and Calgary and Edmonton. Can Austin Matthews lead the young and overachieving Leafs past Alexander Ovechkin and the Presidents’ Trophy winning Washington Capitals? In our Nation’s Capital, the Senators host the Bruins, in what will surely be a feisty, if not fisty, affair. Meanwhile, in Montreal, Carey Price and Shea Weber host Henrik Lundqvist and the New York Rangers, for the 15th time in the postseason. The Rangers hold the edge, winning 8 of the past 14 meetings, but is this the Canadiens’ year after a 24 year drought? In the Western Conference, Calgary’s young guns Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan head into Anaheim to take on Ryan Getzlaf’s Ducks, with the Flames looking to avenge their second round defeat in 2015. In Edmonton, Art Ross Trophy winner Connor McDavid leads the resurgent Oilers into the playoffs for the first time since their improbable Stanley Cup Finals run in 2006, this time, against the veteran and hungry San Jose Sharks.
