Price : 13 saves 15 shots in the ahl. Yikes ! Where is the miracle coming from ? A Zamboni driver ?

I don't think this is really much of an upset. We were a good team in 2014 and we were just coming off a sweep of TB the round before. Who knows, if Price didn't get injured we might have went to the Finals.
Even Colorado is going to play Newhook.I think it's the right move to sit Caufield if Gallagher and Danault are back.
Yeah, Colorado is playing Newhook. Meanwhile, in Montreal where our team is so much worse, but we're "too deep" to play Caufield.
That was the reference plus zamboni speed matches Weber ChiarotA Zamboni driver has a history of beating the Leafs. Might as well go for it.
I'd prefer to save Caufield for later in the playoffs. I do think he'll have a role in the cup run.Even Colorado is going to play Newhook.
I like that there are a lot of hard workers on the team.
But who is going to score ?
Has anyone looked at the playoff record of our players ? It's embarassing. On defense, it's even worse.
If the team struggled this much to create during the regular season, how are they going to do it better in the post-season, when individually they all get worse.
The hope is that the team not only over performs, but that they do it at the level of an outlier. A lot of them will have to play way over their abilities.
Can't blame the analysts here. We are the clear underdog. This has nothing to do with homerism.
I just hope Habs don't get dummied. Canes/Preds and Blues/AVS looks pretty one-sided.
You don't disrespect the other team by saying they will be lucky to score a goal.
Colorado also played Makar in the NHL playoffs with no NHL regular season games played.
He went straight from NCAA to NHL playoff hockey.
Rangers did the same with Kreider.
But, Caufield has to sit & learn.
We did it with Subban and it was a homerun. Not sure why this management doesn't see what's obvious....Colorado also played Makar in the NHL playoffs with no NHL regular season games played.

That will depend on which version of Price shows up.
