Because I can’t be bothered with logging in to my NHL account to make an actual bracket, I spent hours creating my own (from almost scratch). My reasoning for my choices have absolutely nothing to do with which team I think has a chance to win, because I don't pay enough attention to any team aside from the Pens to have an opinion. Nope, these choices are all motivated by a combination of "I don't like anyone on their team" and WWSD:

Dallas over Vegas (because I’m still not over how VGK treated Flower and the Stars haven’t done anything to offend me lately)

The Avs over the Jets (because Sid may love a bracing Winnipeg winter but I’m think he’s more likely to put a person over a temperature/weather phenomena)

Vancouver over Nashville (because the Canucks rock specialty jersey designs and the Predators and their fans annoy me)

LA over Edmonton (because I have not yet encountered a circumstance under which I would root for the Oilers)

Sunrise over Tampa (because the Panthers have that pork dish for sale at their arena and the Lightning were annoying about their Cup wins, though the Panthers roster having a Tkachuk also offers an annoyance factor)

Boston over Toronto (because I don’t want Toronto to have good things, or false hope; the Panthers can deal with the Bruins in the second round)

Capitals over the Rangers (sorry Mika and Chris, but Trouba)

Hurricanes over Islanders (because the Hurricane Warning third jerseys are cool and not as orange as the Islanders’ Gorton fisherman thirds)

That means, in the second round:

Avs over Dallas (for the Sid factor)

Vancouver over LA (just to keep a Canadian team in the mix)

Panthers over the Bruins (because Boston fans don’t deserve good things)

Hurricanes over Capitals (because that Hurricane Warning third jersey really carries a lot of weight with me)

So the third round becomes:

Avs over Vancouver (because Sid)

Hurricanes over Panthers (see Round 2 reasoning)

Which creates Cup final in which the Avs take the Hurricanes (because I want to see Sid enjoying Nate’s Cup party again this summer).
