dave524 Posted March 9, 2015 Report Posted March 9, 2015 Seems like the Raptors may have caught whatever is ailing the Leafs
AKRISONER Posted March 9, 2015 Report Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Montreal is too small and they have shown a chink in their armor in a few games lately. This has been their problem the last 10 years, they go in like a bat out of hell, but by the 3rd round their turtlenecks get too salty and they fall apart. Montreal will go deep but run out of gas, they cant play 4 rounds of playoff hockey its much to physical. See the tampa Bay lightning for the exact same problem. Lets get serious though guys, do we honestly think any team from the east is going to beat any team from the west at all? lol not a chance. Edited March 9, 2015 by AKRISONER
lookinforwalleye Posted March 9, 2015 Report Posted March 9, 2015 You hockey experts are right...Montreal should just concede right now.....second in the league with 90 points 1 behind the ducks with a game in hand...they have no chance.... :wallbash: :wallbash: The playoffs is a new season and anything can happen...but I like our position better than the ones doing the chirpin....

Theyve got the goaltender and the scoring etc, but the playoffs being a different beast changes everything up. Goal tending wins stanley cups, but you need the 3rd line guys that can score to win it for you.
Acountdeleted Posted March 9, 2015 Report Posted March 9, 2015 I can see Montreal getting to the cup final but I agree with everyone from before. I wouldn't take any team in the east to win the cup over the big 3 in the west.
LostAnotherOne Posted March 9, 2015 Report Posted March 9, 2015 I said it before as much as I don't like Montreal, Carey Price will be lifting the cup up at the end of the season.
BillM Posted March 9, 2015 Report Posted March 9, 2015 After 3 rounds of playoffs Montreal isn't going to be able to take it. Carey isn't going to get them a cup. It's a war of attrition and they aren't setup to play that game.
LostAnotherOne Posted March 9, 2015 Report Posted March 9, 2015 Hope your right Bill, but my gut says Montreal. What I'm really hoping is a different team wins it this year. Hate to see LA or Chicago win. I'm going for any Canadian team that makes it except Montreal. Like to see Washington win. Just not too sure if they have the depth to go far.
Acountdeleted Posted March 9, 2015 Report Posted March 9, 2015 Ok muskymatt, serious question. You are the coach of the sens. Who do you start in net against Boston? Anderson or Hammond?

I'm going for any Canadian team that makes it except Montreal. Like to see Washington win. Just not too sure if they have the depth to go far. LA is going to miss the playoffs...but probably not i think they will still knock calgary off to the disappointment of many. This might be the year that you see a shootout result causing a team to miss or make the playoffs (lame)
LostAnotherOne Posted March 9, 2015 Report Posted March 9, 2015 The good old shootout. I think the Leafs a few years ago almost made the playoffs if one team lost in there shootout. I think Islanders or Devils where involved. Can't remember
Acountdeleted Posted March 9, 2015 Report Posted March 9, 2015 You are correct. Devils had to beat the islanders and they didn't start Brodeur.
LostAnotherOne Posted March 9, 2015 Report Posted March 9, 2015 Didn't start Brodeur. Now I'm pissed all over again.lol
John Bacon Posted March 9, 2015 Report Posted March 9, 2015 The game didn't mean anything to the Devils. Can't blame them for resting him for the playoffs. We cannot expect them to start him just to give Toronto a better chance.
LostAnotherOne Posted March 9, 2015 Report Posted March 9, 2015 That's true. I would probably do the same, but Devils will always be in my bad books lol.
muskymatt Posted March 9, 2015 Report Posted March 9, 2015 Ok muskymatt, serious question. You are the coach of the sens. Who do you start in net against Boston? Anderson or Hammond? Anderson! With Hammond close by. Remember, this guy is on a high right now, Hammond that is, sooner or later it's going to come back to reality. At this time of year you have to go with the proven guys. All said, riding a winning streak like Hammond has would not be a problem either. Tough call!
AKRISONER Posted March 10, 2015 Report Posted March 10, 2015 I just got featured in an article about hockey and climate change. Not a bad read, however I might be biased because im the star http://www.eenews.net/stories/1060014748
Jds63 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Posted March 10, 2015 Funny stuff, unless you’re a Leafs fan … then its even funnier https://vimeo.com/120332275
lookinforwalleye Posted March 10, 2015 Report Posted March 10, 2015 say that a couple weeks ago...pretty funny!

You are right it is a new season so their 1st place means what then?
muddler Posted March 10, 2015 Report Posted March 10, 2015 You are right it is a new season so their 1st place means what then? It means they're good enough to make it. Unlike the Laffs. Can't wait for the playoffs. Real hockey.
tb4me Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Posted March 11, 2015 You are right it is a new season so their 1st place means what then? Ask San Jose how their first place worked out for them last year..
grizzlybri Posted March 11, 2015 Report Posted March 11, 2015 It means they're good enough to make it. Unlike the Laffs. Can't wait for the playoffs. Real hockey. Last year they proved they are nothing with out Price
glen Posted March 11, 2015 Report Posted March 11, 2015 Ya but they are really something with him. Someone will bump him in the playoffs.
tb4me Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Posted March 11, 2015 Wow Shanny benches Naz for 2 more games..interesting cause there are a few other guys I would made an example of first..However Naz did show up 20 min late the other day...lolMcWilliams makes his NHL debut tonight for the buds..
