Stay the course, Leafs. Your team has a solid core with lots of youth and a decent cap position in the next few years. If Colborne learns how to skate then goddamn it'll be a good team actually. Get a puck-moving D-man and it's go time.

so your predictions for round 2?

east i got pens and bruins. if pens play vokoun i dont see senators being able to beat them. but it should be a long series.

west i would say hawks and kings but kinda unsure about how good sharks are.

The Leafs need to start circumventing the salary cap by using the connections Bell and Rogers have.

They can sign PK Subban in 2 years and then use their corporate connections to make him "the official spokesman" for a bunch of giant companies and he can make the kind of money Sidney Crosby can only dream of.

PK Subban can rationalize his lower than expected contract signing beceause he "loves toronto" and gave them a "home town discount".

I wouldn't say Ovechkin was "invisible" during the 2013 playoffs.
But, I thought his line would score more goals.

I've only watched game 6 unfortunatelly but from what i saw, he barely had enough room for movement. Rangers played very good physical hockey and well ... nothing worked, even the PP didn't go how it was planned.
On a side note: Ovi is 1+1, Nash is 0+2. Pretty fucking weird series!

My Round 2 predictions:

Pens over the Sens in 5. I think that the Pens will get their shit together and crush the Sens while riding Vokoun instead of MAF. Mad props to the Sens for getting this far with all of their injuries.

Boston over the Rags in 7. This will be a really close series. It will also be a physically brutal series. Boston has the better team, but Lundquist is awesome and will steal a couple games.

Hawks over the Wings in 6. That Ducks series was tough for the Wings, and now they are facing a clearly superior opponent in the Hawks. I wanted to say Hawks in 5, but the Wings are playing tough.

Sharks over the Kings in 7. The Sharks are a little bit fresher and seem to be highly motivated this year. I also think that their new-found depth at forward is going to cause the Kings some problems that the Blues did not. This is going to be a tough series. It is going to Game 7 one way or another.

Here's the teams I hope wins:
Ottawa
Rangers
Detroit
Kings or Sharks doesn't really matter to me.

I have a feeling I'll be disappointed after the next round. :/

As I've said many times before, if you don't make the playoffs you really need to re-evaluate what you're doing because if you don't that means your group really sucks. Playoffs should be easy to make but actually winning it? Still one of the hardest prizes to win in all of professional sports.

Making the playoffs in let's say the NFL or MLB? That's much much harder and you really do need a top notch team to do that. I'd put the NBA eastern conference in similar territory as the NHL eastern conference when it comes to actually making it in and it's been that way for so long.

This post makes no sense. Half of the teams in the NHL suck?


You heard me and I've said it several times in this thread before. If your team cannot make the playoffs then your team really, really sucks. It's one thing to make it in. It's another thing to win it. Stand by what I said about the NBA, NFL and MLB too.

In relation to the rest of the league? Yes.


Yes sir.

Sorry but I think that is idiotic. Saying that a team really sucks because they got a few points less then the 16 teams (especially in such a short season) makes no sense. I would say only the teams far below 500 really suck. Some are bad, underachieving or good but not good enough. Winnipeg had a good solid team this year, so did Columbus (they had the best goalie in the league) and both didn't make the playoffs despite being over 500. Do they suck?

I will concede that teams like Florida and Carolina suck though.


We're not just talking about shortened-seasons man. Those points are easy pickings. Just because you have a few pieces to the puzzle doesn't mean you're going to be able to solve the whole thing. It doesn't work that way! Winnipeg and Columbus fit that bill. To make the playoffs in the NHL is a lot easier compared to other professional sports. At the end of the season you should be one of those sixteen teams that gets in.

Just cause it is easier then other professional sports doesn't mean it is easy. No team is guaranteed a playoff sport and they can always be sure there are 30 other teams that are working just as hard as them and only 16 in total will get through.

Saying any given team "should" make the playoffs makes no sense to me since there are 16 spots and 31 teams. Based off logic each team will have around a 50% chance given they are all around the same skill level. Thats like flipping a coin and saying it should land on heads because it has a better chance of landing on heads then a dice has of rolling a 4. No matter how good every team is there will be 15 teams not in the playoffs every year and this doesn't mean they suck, it just means there wasn't enough spots and they were not as good as they needed to be.

In the context of the Leafs saying they should be happy just to make the playoffs is a perfectly acceptable statement. This would mean they did better then almost half the league when they were pegged at being near the bottom this season. If Pittsburg or Chicago got out in the first round they could not say the same thing because there is far more expectation and talent over there but in Toronto getting to the playoffs and going to game 7 overtime in round 1 is a good accomplishment.


You know, just for my sanity, please tell me what is the 31st professional hockey team in the NHL?

Leafs don't need to get rid of anyone. Just need to foster the players they have.

My predictions (I was 7-1 last round)

Sens
Rangers
Sharks
Wings

What's your logic for the Sens, if I may ask?

2pts in 7 games for a mvp candidate is pretty much the definition of invisible but ok there buddy
