Out of Town - Who's your team during these Playoffs

[Bryson]

People are so impressed by Eller for what reason? I mean instead of his career high 30 he has 38 points. Wow, what a star.

38 points... while playing on the 3rd line. Some people really seem to have a hard time understanding this concept. Eller also gets most of his points at ES and doesn't get to milk most of his points on the PP like other centers *cough*Drouin*cough*

Eller is playing with confidence right now and is being rewarded. Something he never had while playing for his previous neanderthal coach. If Eller keeps this up he will be a huge boon for the Caps in the playoffs. Mark my words. See how he completely man handled his man in front of the net for the tying goal? Now imagine Desharnais trying to do that because that's who we developed over Eller and Galchenyuk.

Deharnais developement was more important than eller or galchenyuks.

Hey if they kept on trying one day Desharnais was going to turn into Marty St Louis! Honestly not sure what's going to happen to the future of this team. There's less and less francos in the league and the Habs have most of them lol.

 

[Pickles]

Would like Nashville to win, I want to see Subban get a Cup. Since Bergevin won't get fired, this would be the next best scenario.

This is what I'm hoping for as well. Anyone but Toronto, Boston or Pittsburgh to win the cup if Nashville gets eliminated.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Eller is an elite third line center and would be the best center on the Habs.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Eller is an elite third line center and would be the best center on the Habs.

Worst combination of words in hockey. Elite player at being okay to pretty good.

 

[Rapala]

You are part of the cult of Eller, the Habs have always been an elite 6on5 team playing guys like David Desharnais !

Don't forget Cube.

 

[tazsub3]

canadian first, so Winnipeg easy. then will even cheer the leafs over any us team....

cause had you seen him play, instead of looking at the state, you might an worthwhile opinion to contribute

 

[PhysicX]

Any team except Boston, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Anaheim, Dallas or Saint Louis. I'm ok with the rest, and will be cheering for Nashville, Toronto, and New Jersey and LA if they make it.

 

[the valiant effort]

Rooting hard for the Jets, but it's not meant to be for them this year. I'm good with any western team taking it.

 

[DXStriker]

Jets and Preds are my two rooting interests and the Caps because of Ovi

Near 40 points playing on the 3rd line and a key contributor on one of the top teams in the east? Yeah, why would anyone be impressed by that.

 

[CHwest]

Meanwhile over in Leafs nation, they just broke their franchise record for most wins in a season.

I love Eller, almost a man crush.

 

[swimmer77]

Nashville for sure. Winnipeg. Philadelphia in the East because of Voracek and Giroux.

 

[Habsawce]

Nashville or San Jose for me. Washington in the East I guess. Don't really care for teams in the East.

 

[Per Sjoblom]

Forgot about Vegas, I would not mind them winning either and it would cause a ruckus on Sports sorry leafsnet (comments section), they have already complained that Vegas got an unfair deal. Vegas reminds me of a pack of dholes, those Asian wild dogs. In large packs they have been known to kill tigers. They just swarm around their prey. I also like Gallant and his KFC habits.

 

[LarryO]

Nashville first. Then the Canadian teams.

 

[DAChampion]

What we're seeing with Eller now is what I expect to see when/if Galchenyuk is eventually traded. At this point half the fanbase (more?) is dismissing him as a player who was never legitimate top-3 pick, who is clueless in his own zone, etc. However, given a good coach and a good environment he has a good prospect of emerging as a two-way forward with ~70-point production.

 

[Tuggy]

My team's for the playoffs...first will be which teams I go with in my pool.

Outside of that, in the West I'll probably root for Winnipeg and San Jose.

East, I guess the Caps. I'd like to see OV finally get to the finals. I will definitely NOT be rooting for anyone in our division. Death to them all.

 

[Andy]

Nashville
the Peg
Tampa
Vegas
Caps

the order of teams I'd like to see win.

Yup. That's pretty much what I would predict happening with Chucky.

I watched him play for years. 30 points every year. Now every time he records a point this thread is full of people drooling over him. And in the end he just has 38. There’s a weird obsession with Eller ever since he was a Hab that he was capable of more than 30 a season. Now he’s on an elite team and it’s just 8 more points. I find it hilarious and people can’t let it go.

 

[CapSpace]

Jets. I'm jealous of their young guns. We are billion years away from this in Montreal.
