Too bad, it could have been a really good series.

Still does not change the fact that Leafs had great season.

I believe they will play Washington a lot tougher than what some folks might think.

Look around.

If there's a god(spoiler, spasto's wasting his time), it's long ago lost interest in this planet.

Edit: probably only 2 games worth of home tickets, either way.

No, not a new idea from me. I believe Leafs are a dangerous first round opponent (even for Washington) because of the style of game they play. They attack with speed and abandon, they maintain great intensity in the offensive zone.

They will not surprise anyone. Washington knows what the Leafs can do in terms of firepower and they will try to shut them down. But I still expect the series to go 6 or 7 games and the Leafs to make a good show.

I believe the Leafs have dodged a bit of a bullet. Had they they played Ottawa the expectations and pressure on a very young team would have been enormous. Now both the expectations and pressure have been lowered. They will not be swept by the Capitals and if the Leafs can get a split on the first four games it will be the Caps that are feeling the pressure.

For once i agree with you. The Leafs would have gone into the series with the Sens as the heavy favourites, and may not have taken it as seriously as they needed to, which could have resulted in an embarrassing 5 game series. I don't know how the players would have been able to swallow the failure of not keeping the Sweep tradition alive vs the Sens.

Now with Washington they come in with no expectations, and may surprise the best team in the league.

The Sens were 4-0-0 against the Bruins and need to step back and watch they don't get caught by not thinking this is going to be a very tough series for them. I think it is going to be 21 very tough periods of hockey and few overtimes before the series is over.

This year the Sens match up with the Rangers better than with the Habs. They might be hoping for a 2nd round Rangers match up.

You started this year saying they were worse than last year, that they dumped a lot of talent and hadn't replaced it. You spent the first 4 months of this year talking about how bad the leafs are and how they always drop after Christmas.

You're ridiculous.

with you the blue kool aid, strong it is.


heavy only in your mind. I told you that any series that two of Ottawa, Boston or the leafs would all be 50/50, as none are close to being serious contenders, and finished all together in the points and points percentage ranking.

Sens 98 pts / .598
Bruins 95 pts / .579
leafs 95 pts / 579

I think the same could be said about leaf fans constantly trashing every single thing about the Senators, this season. Prock practically (in this thread) does nothing else but.

So there's enough rock throwing in glass houses to go around for everyone.

things will get interesting with Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto having some of the top young players in the NHL. Montreal already doing well.

gotta suck for a non factor team now and going forward like Ottawa and Vancouver.

I do'nt really think they are. They're in a borderline playoff spot, early, and they've had one of the easiest schedules in the league. They're playing terribly. They look horrible. The'yre in big trouble IMO.
- prock

The Islanders had the 5th highest point total in the conference last year. They're a way better team than the Sens.
- prock

An easy schedule is the driving force behind a .656 pace.
- prock

I DO think Condon probably gives them a couple more wins this season over the other two, it's a 5th round pick for what is likely 2 or 3 more wins, they need every win they can get.
