This is an interesting matchup because CBJ is the 28th team in scoring, and 3rd in defense, and Toronto is 3rd offensively and 27th in defense.
But, Columbus is a tough matchup for any team in the playoffs, tough, physical, and great defensively. The achilles heel while remain the power play. It's been a problem for them for years. The PP was red hot last year against Tampa and then cooled off against Boston. CBJ may not win it all, they may not even win the series, but they are still a very tough team to play against which is something i've been clamoring Buffalo to get better at for years
Columbus and Montreal are two teams I wouldn't want to face in round 1, especially MTL with a rested Carey Price
