That struck a little too close to home. However, you forgot the part where Schneider and/or Luongo plays like a hall of a fame goalie, posting a .940+ save percentage. | ||

It would be fun to face Ottawa... as for NY Islanders, the omens are sort of scary. This year the Penguins chased the win streak record set by the 92-93 Penguins, which was probably the best hockey team I've seen in my watching lifetime and one of the strongest teams ever, who went into the playoffs on that unbeaten streak and were heavy favorites for the three-peat. In the second round they faced the unhearalded Islanders and it turned into this absolutely wild classic series, which the Islanders ended up winning in game 7 OT after the Pens had come back from down 2 in the 3rd. This happens to be the last playoff series the Islanders won, exactly 20 years ago, while now the Penguins again are cup favorites with a loaded roster that almost matched the win streak, and will face the big underdog Islanders if Ottawa holds on tonight. | ||

 A shame we don't get Hughson, as well as those epic CBC montages. Oh well, the rest of the CBC production is pretty bad so not that bad of a loss. | ||

It just sucks when you play them in the first round because they will bang you up win or lose. Good thing our team is technically healthy. We're just playing like crap. I'll take Chicago in 5, Anaheim in 6, Vancouver in 7 and L.A. in 6. Nice predictions! I do agree that Anah will probably win, I just wanted to call an upset and Det is the team to do it. | ||

Boston vs toronto is gonna be one rough series. I don't see how Toronto can win it tough unless Boston screws up badly. Montreal vs Senators...its anybody's game. Gonna be one tight series. I think whoever team has the most consistency in nets will win it. Also, if Karlsson isn't 100% yet, so that could help Montreal in the first games but as soon he gets his speed and confidence back, that could help Ottawa if the series goes a long way. Penguins will win it in four or five. In the west, i haven't followed much this season so it's hard to say. But i think LA could beat the Blues but could be either way too. Chicago will roll over Minessota. Vancouver should win against SJ. 2 good goalies for VAN. Sedin needs to step ur their game. | ||

the fur flies... he then goes on Prime Time Sports for a 20 minute interview and says "Stanley Cup" about 500 times. Tim isn't even officially in his post at MLSE and he is already in damage control mode. | ||

MTL (2) > OTT (6) in 6 NYR (6) > WAS (3) in 6 BOS (4) > TOR (5) in 5 CHI (1) > MIN (8) in 5 ANA (2) > DET (7) in 6 VAN (3) > SJS (6) in 6 LAK (5) > STL (4) in 7 Sid will weep at Tavares' feet I think that the East series will be a lot closer overall. The only team I don't see having a chance in the east is Tor. I think maybe vs another team, they could steal a series, but def not Boston. They're way too good in all facets of the game. STL-LAK is the only west series that I think really can go either way. I like both of those teams a lot, and I think whoever wins will be pushing for the WCF before long. VAN-SJS could be another close one, but I just see Vancouver pulling their heads out of their ass. They're past the first round bed shitting now I think. They're on to bigger time chokes. DET, they're just really not that good anymore. I guess they have a shot since ANA was by far one of the most lucky teams this year, statistically, but they still have some good players. I think Minny is going to get fucking destroyed by Chicago. Chicago is on the war path, and I think it will be either STL or LAK who knocks them off, if anyone. | ||

ive got two other lower seeds winning, but i dont think anyone who watches regularly would call those two picks upsets. nyr-was and lak-stl were each seperated by a point in the standings. i am trying to find the season series for each but still, hardly upsets or bold picks at all | ||

TFC is to MLSE what Starcraft is to Blizzard. TML are to MLSE what WoW is to Blizzard. I'm sure Tim was "educated on this" shortly after that interview with the Star. | ||

The other properties need to be brought up to speed on market value. It's what we call over reacting to something that isn't there. GL getting a NFL team Toronto lol. | ||

MLSE is now owned by the 2 biggest media giants in canada.. not a pension fund. therefore, the leafs winning the stanley cup would bring more direct money to these "media providers" than the TFC ever could. The Teacher's Pension Fund would not directly benefit from the Leafs winning the Cup. Rogers and Bell are another story. Also, Rogers and Bell have a presence throughout Canada the OTPF never had. The Toronto Maple Leafs are still english Canada's team. Bell and Rogers are "high ceiling" purchasers.... not "commodity brokers". so a vague "good standing" is not enough. Watch for Bell owned CTV to make a big push for HNIC | ||
