Hockey analyst Marty Biron has given Canadian hockey fans hope of winning a Stanley Cup this season by naming five teams that could make the NHL playoffs. He believes the Edmonton Oilers, Winnipeg Jets and Toronto Maple Leafs are "guarantee in" to make it. For the remaining spots, Biron sees Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa and Montreal competing.
While Montreal’s chances may be slim, it still has a shot if it keeps playing well. During TSN's "Hot or Not" on Wednesday, Biron said two of these teams will join the other three in the playoffs.
"I'm looking at the Edmonton Oilers, the Winnipeg Jets, the Toronto Maple Leafs that guarantee in, and one of Vancouver, Calgary is going to get in, and one of Ottawa and Montreal," Biron said. "I just said, I don't think Montreal is making it, but still might, like if they push so it's going to be one of those.
