Die Tipps unserer Autoren für die Saison 2021/22

Zum Beginn der regulären Saison haben unsere Autoren wieder den Blick in ihre Glaskugeln geworfen und den Ausgang vorhergesagt bzw. eher getippt.

Favorit auf den Stanley Cup Sieg 2022 sind die Colorado Avalanche mit vier von neun Nennungen, gefolgt von den Vegas Golden Knights und New York Islanders mit zwei. Einmal wird auf die Edmonton Oilers von Leon Draisaitl zum ersten kanadischen Stanley Cup Sieg seit 1993 getippt. Den Tampa Bay Lightning traut niemand die erneute Titelverteidigung zu. Es wäre erstmals seit 1980-1983 die New York Islanders vier Mal in Folge triumphierten, dass eine Mannschaft in der NHL drei Mal hintereinander gewinnt.

Hier die Tipps im Einzelnen:
