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

torts is a legend

Probably one of the top five coaches in the league. He's a guy that can fire up a bench, and work you so hard that you can't move when you piss him off. Grade A coach. Keefe could take a lesson or two from him

or a top one pick

Defense usually wins over offensive heavy teams in the playoffs. See James Harden.

Although we are looking at 3/8ths chance Laf ends up on Tor, Edm, or Pitts. *starts dry heaving*

Man at 3-0 in the first I thought I was gonna have a grueling game to watch.
But PLD took over.

TOR played hard. CBJ has a hard time dealing with their speed but man, they grind it out.
Where was that clown who said CBJ had taken their best shot LOL

I think this series is still even money at the moment. More than any leafs fan ever gave CBJ credit.
But I can see CBJ finishing this tomorrow.

Don’t forget Winnipeg lmfao

It's not a suprise, but it's still very interesting to see the contrasting styles of play.....and btw you especially have to give Columbus credit for being competitive this year after losing Panarin, Duchene, and Bobrovsky, especially Panarin, a lot of people do not realize how good he really is.

Winnipeg is fourth on the list but their defense is worse than Toronto’s right now.

Yeesh that’s a sad statement to see

I don’t disagree.

Minnesota is my ideal spot for Laf. In the West and the lack centers.

Laf is a LW exclusively, the last position minny needs more of

Exactly. Outside of Staal Minnesota lacks anyone that isn’t a 4th line center. Minimal impact to the league.

Laffy to Minnesota please.

Would be the most interesting thing to happen with Minnesota since...huh.

Yeah it'd probably be the most interesting thing ever for that organisation.

Going all in on mediocrity in 2012 was pretty interesting

Laffy to Minnesota please.

It’s funny, the team I want to see win Laff is minnesota. Obviously I’d love the jets to get him, but I think minnesota might be the best place to go. Please god just don’t give him to Toronto.

Honestly any place but TOR, EDM, PIT or NYR is fine for me. 11 other options in there, pick your favorite, but please not any of these teams...
