The Stanley Cup Playoffs will kickoff on Saturday with the Boston Bruins and Washington Capitals kicking things off. The Dallas Stars may not be competing for Lord Stanely this season, but there are still some storylines that Stars fans can get behind.
BOSTON BRUINS
Why to root for them: It might be Zdeno Chara’s last rodeo, and the team standing in his way will be his old mates. A veritable David vs Goliath, if you will.
WASHINGTON CAPITALS
Why to root for them: TJ Oshie losing his father and then netting a hat trick in the game immediately after is easily something you’d want to see him build upon in a magical postseason run.
