Well when Habs looked like they were going to lose, i was going to cheer for my other favorite teams, Avs and Leafs but of course Leafs blew it so i'll be a Avs fans when Habs lose to the Jets or get smacked by the team out of the West

Isn't it crazy to think either the Habs or Jets will win the North Division? When the playoffs started, most of us were 100% sure that the Leafs or Oilers would represent the north in the conference finals.

Yeah, not confident though, Goaltending is about equal, they have the better offense, and the defense is about equal too

I had the Leafs, didn't give any of the other teams a chance, thought habs were screwed, Oilers wouldn't be able to be carried by Mc and Drai and Jets looked rough during the final stretch

I'll be rooting for them, but realistically doubt they win. The only team that can stop the Avs is Tampa

Or maybe Blake Comeau. He'd shine the top of his head and it would blind all of Tampa's players, and since Vasy can't see he'll score a lot of goals against him and win. Why didn't they think about that in the regular season?

Yeah, whoever comes out of the North will play the Avs, and Carolina or Tampa will play Boston or New York I. If the Canes advance, we will be facing one of the teams we faced in 2019. CAR vs NYI would be much more interesting this year though. Tampa is also familiar with both teams from their cup run last year.

Beginning of the year I'd say Habs would win, End of year I would say Leafs. Never thought Winnipeg wouldve have a chance.

Getting both games right and the exact scores is very rare. Probably 1:200

We gotta win or else Tampa will carry the momentum home and feast on us like they did to Florida. Fingers crossed we can pull off the dub tonight.

I've spent the entire day (and for a big chunk of it, 5am-1pm I was at work) thinking about yesterday's game, about ho pathetic the Leafs are and i know this isn't an original observation but I can't imagine how bad hardcore Leaf fans must be feeling.

BIG, ENOURMOUS changes have to be coming, at least one of Keefe/Dubas needs to go.

I'll still be cheering a little for them but until they prove me otherwise I'll never believe in them again, which is why I removed them from the «2nd favorite team» on my profile.

They dont even take head hits seriously. Kadri definitely deserved a suspension but how did Kolesar not get suspended for his headshot on Byram that left him with a concussion (not even a penalty)? How did McNabb not get anything for his headshot on Rantanen (not even a penalty)? How did Pacioretty not get anything for his headshot on Girard (not even a penalty, he got matching roughing minors with Compher but no call for his headshot on Girard)?


The McNabb hit was bad. Should’ve been a 1 game suspension based on how the NHL handles suspensions. The Kolesar hit was also bad, but not suspendable under the NHL’s current rules. It absolutely should be suspendable in a perfect world, though. I’m not sure the Pacioretty hit is that much of a head hit, but it’s definitely interference.

So who is everyone cheering for in the 2nd round? Mine are:

MTL - Duh.
VGK - I like Colorado. However, they’re going to be contenders for a really long time. They have a massive window to win, and can easily win the cup at any point in the next decade. Vegas’s window is not nearly as wide. Vegas has Pacioretty, which makes me like them more. Plus Vegas would be easier for the habs to match up against if it gets to that.
CAR - I really like the Hurricanes, and I’d be cheering for them anyways. But that is really emphasized now that they’re playing Tampa Bay, who almost all of their players have won the cup. Carolina would probably be the 2nd team I’m cheering for that’s left.
NYI - I like them a bit more than the Bruins. Plus Bergeron, Marchand, Krejci, and Rask already have a cup ring.
