Good Lord no.

Absolutely. It was like a Montreal game last night. Couldn't watch the 3rd period. I was afraid Tampa would come back. The Tampa Russians are worthless trash. Hopefully they won't ever win again. I am more confident that Toronto will get beaten in the 2nd or 3rd round.

1. Tampa
2. Toronto
3. Boston
4. Calgary
Are the teams that need to lose.

I have to give props to the Leafs. After game two, I thought they'd crawl into a hole and die. They showed a lot of heart and determination in game 3. If I'm a Bolts fan *cringes*, I'm worried my teams playoffs might be coming to an end shortly.

I felt the same way about the Leafs last night, to quote Don Cherry, they looked "loosey goosey".

 

[MarkovsKnee]

The only series that feels like a playoff series is the Dallas Calgary one. This year is so weird. Teams getting blown out left and right.

I've barely been watching it because of this. First round has been as uncompetitive as I can remember it.

 

[Max2]

The Leafs have more depth this season and it shows.I'd definitely make a play for Ilya Mikheyev as a ufa.Speed to burn,always a threat on the pk and starting to score now.I think he has another gear and will even get better next season.Only 27 yers old as well so just in his prime.

Cats and Caps. Here we go

 

[dinodebino]

I want them to beat Tampa so the fan base bites real hard.

If they win against Tampa, they are going to the finals. Be warned, folks.

Le Québecois, Huberdeau avec un tir précis déjoue le gardien.

 

[26Mats]

It's a tough go rooting for the upsets, so that our Flames and Oilers picks, and Canes and Rangers picks, are they beat they can be.

All the favorites are doing well...

 

[Redux91]

Cant believe Florida wont use Chiarot at PP QB! what GIVES lol

 

[ReHabs]

I miss the playoffs for the Habs.

Best time of the year.

 

[Rapala]

My DNA just won't allow me to wish for that.

Winning one round is as far as I'll go. Particularly against Tampa the "Cheating Covid Cup Champs".

They were paying attention to us.

The Fla/Wash series has a playoff vibe to it.

 

[peate]

Caps score with a minute left in the 2nd. 3-1.

 

[Tyson]

Florida is in for a rude awakening against this veteran Caps team if Samsonov provides good goaltending

Yup their defense is far less porous. WEEGAR WEEGAR WEEGAR
That globe trotter style they try to play won't work they need to be far more direct IMO.

 

[Tyson]

Habs got a heck of a return for Chiarot who is clearly the #6 D on this Panthers team.
This shows how bad our D Corps was/is when Chiarot played 22+ minutes every night.

His next contract will be interesting.

Giroux demanded to be traded to Florida...

 

[HuGo Sham]

chiarot..11 min TOI , -1 by far lowest total for their Dmen

 

[BLONG7]

Yeah, if LA lost game 3 then that means he obviously played poorly in games 1 and 2 as well. No petty agenda here...

This doesn't even mention that, once again, he wasn't the one being burned on these goals.

Phil wanted to leave, if you wanna talk petty agenda.
The Kings have been torched for 14 goals in TWO games. The entire team is a tire fire right now.....safe to say, they expected more from everyone. Their defensive game seems off...again, we all know none of this is on Phil.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Caps looking good right now. i wouldn't be upset if they won the whole thing

I’ll be upset if they win this series. Florida can beat Toronto, but I think Toronto stomps the Caps.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Chariot back where he belongs
third pair d-man icetime.

 

[HabSgt]

Funny I feel the opposite. Ovi & the Caps would grind the Leafs into dust I think.

ha their broadcast crew is annoying as ever though

Florida defense is so f***ing overrated lmao.
