imo ottawa is a bigger challenge than the caps. ottawa is solid throughout the entire lineup, the caps are top-heavy, weak defenseideally I'd like the Leafs to finish 2nd in the Atlantic and face Ottawa with home ice advantage. The WC team might be Washington and they'd be a bigger challenge

absolutely. i picked them 3rd in the division ahead of toronto, but behind tampa and montreal, which looks pretty bad rnGotta 2nd you on this. The Sens almost made the Cup final last year. They are struggling right now b/c of that trip to Sweden. Picked them and Tampa to finish ahead of the Leafs in the Atlantic. Hope I'm wrong and the Leafs are ahead but the Sens are no joke.
It's a tough call, honestly. Washington has a heavy forecheck and cycle game that our team really does have trouble with. They also have one of the best goalies in the league. I think if we gameplan properly we could use our skill and speed to beat OttawaI'd MUCH rather play Washington.
Our overall team speed can really neutralize their skill.
I also dont think they have the kind of forecheck that can really expose our D.
Ottawa plays a much more frustrating style and they play way harder imo then WAS.
Feel pretty comfortable saying we'd beat WAS in the first round this year. Ott? That would be a really tough series.

they cycled in our zone with ease sometimes. For the record I think we'd beat Washington and Ottawa, but Washington might be more of a threatI didnt really see this "heavy forecheck" and we played them 6 games in a row and if anything there roster has declined.
Is this some narative because Ovechkin will lay big hits here and there?
You'd think by calling them this heavy forecheck, cycle team they would be perfectly suited for the playoffs.
If anything I think their team is soft.

Komarov-Kadri-Nylander
Hyman-Marleau-Brown
Van Riemsdyk-Bozak-Moore
These lines Babs went to last night may not be perfect, but I liked them better than our usual lineup.

If he keeps these lines he can sub out Moore for Leivo/Sosh and improve the lineup a little more.
I would swap JVR for Martin and swap Moore for either Sosh/Leivo. Dynamite.Martin-Matthews-Marner

I'd really like to see what Matthews can do with two skill guys. I'd go:I don’t know about the JVR-Martin swap but I’m 100% on board with switching out Moore for a younger guy. If Moore isn’t a Centre then someone else more talented should play on the wing.
