The chase for the Stanley Cup has arrived, and with it Flip and Steele are breaking down every single playoff series round by round while serving up their series X-Factors, best bets, series winners and in how many games, starting with the Atlantic Division that features two juicy matchups. First the Tampa Bay Lightning taking on the Florida Panthers in the battle of Florida that is sure to feature some intense action from start to finish.

Can Tampa Bay's experience and Cup caliber reign and will Andrei Vasilevskiy be an X-factor like Steele predicts? The Panthers have struggled a bit down the stretch and considering the fortress that Amalie Arena has been for the Lightning, this could be a very close series from the very beginning. Speaking of which, the Boston Bruins once again take on their "rival" Toronto Maple Leafs, even though the Bruins have basically dominated the Maple Leafs in both the NHL playoffs and regular season. Steele and Flip are both backing the Leafs and both think the Lightning have a good chance over the Panthers, only time will tell.
