Stanley Cup Playoffs 2023 preview

After seizing the Presidents' Trophy an entire fortnight before the end of the regular season and racking up a record-breaking points haul and win count, the Bruins are arguably the biggest Stanley Cup favorites of all time. That's a heck of a lot of pressure for Jim Montgomery's team to be dealing with, and it's only going to snowball if the narrative of peaking too early begins to take hold.

It's the beauty of the playoff system that the only concrete reward for a historically great campaign is a favorable playoff draw. There's no free pass to the Stanley Cup Finals, and if the Bruins get past the second round, they'll have gone further than all of the last nine Presidents' Trophy winners.

The Oilers, Capitals, Hurricanes, Lightning, Kraken, Panthers and Maple leafs have each managed to get the better of the Bruins once this season. Can it be done over seven games? 

The Avalanche could still emulate the Penguins and Bolts by winning back-to-back titles, though injuries mean they're leaning far more heavily on Mikko Rantanen's goals than they'd like to be. The Oilers, meanwhile, are an offensive juggernaut right now, as are the Kings, though the Canes' magic touch appears to have deserted them at the worst possible moment.  

Read on for details on how to get a 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs live stream no matter where you are in the world. You might want to try a VPN if you're looking to tune into NHL while abroad.
