Thread: Who do you have with the Current Playoff Matchups
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>I want to face them. I think Boston has added more of the types who can stand up to their situational toughness.

Last year sucked, but while I think they are less likely to win it all …. I feel this team matches up better to deal with the late accidental cheap use of the stick or the threats to fight / push offs when refs are in position. Boston should handle that better this year</div></div>

Why not 1-16 then? The idea is to build more heated rivalries and it's working sucks for the Atlantic division teams because since the start of the 16/17 season Boston has the most cumulative points TB is second and Toronto is third by far the best division. The current Atlantic has in the last 5 years 6 Cup Appearances . They're 2-4 TB 2-1 rest of the division 0-3 guess TB is the only cliser

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boltsbeathabs</b></div><div>No I don't you haven't watched a lot of TB this year I guess as he's spent quite a bit of time with Stamkos and Cirelli on the second line and played a lot on the top PP. So,no I meant accurately exactly what I said. Thank you for displaying your complete ignorance.
The Perbix Derangement Syndrome some lightning fans like the poster who agreed with you is unf---ing believable. 2/3 RD is a little more debatable however being he's yet to play 150 NHL games and started slow his sophomore year, and has played better as of late. I'll argue 2RD</div></div>

I’ve paid pretty close to TB this year and know the exact role Nick Paul plays. He is an incredibly versatile centreman who can also slot to LW as needed, and plays specialty minutes. But in TB depth, he slots behind Point and Cirelli on any given night, hence the 3C designation. This is not debatable, unless you think Point or Cirelli slot lower. And to argue so passionately about Perbix reminds me of Sens fans arguing that Brannstrom is a legit top 4 guy.

Listen, I like both of the TB players, but if Brisbois was ever offered this deal, he should jump at it. Chychrun is entering his prime years and would be able to shelter Hedman’s minutes as he inevitably faces the aging curve.

At the end of the day, maybe we disagree on this deal. All good. I’ll be a tourist in the playoffs again as a Sens fan and am hopeful that the Lightning can take another run with this core.
