Open Thread: Playoffs Opening Night

Before the Colorado Avalanche get their postseason series started tomorrow night against the Winnipeg Jets there’s a doubleheader already underway with the opening of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

First up is the revenge of Patrick Roy and Semyon Varlamov’s New York Islanders against perennial contenders in the Carolina Hurricanes at 3 p.m. MT. Can the wild card Islanders cause an upset or will Carolina roll through them?

The @Canes and @NYIslanders will get the 2024 #StanleyCup Playoffs going, meeting in the postseason for the second straight year and third time in six seasons.
