The Stanley Cup will soon have a new home.
The field in the 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs is down from 16 to just four, with the conference finals underway.
The Rangers, Panthers, Stars and Oilers are the last four clubs standing. That means there will be a first-time champion (Florida) or one of the other franchises (New York, Dallas, Edmonton) will secure its first title this century.
So far, the 2024 NHL playoffs have not disappointed. While there have not been many upsets, the series all have provided nonstop entertainment, and that should not stop with the championship series on the horizon.
