There is reviel that Koivu is planned to play in 3rd line with Jenner and Foligno. Slowest line at the league?
The only reason I'd be hesitant to pick the Jackets as a team to go deep would be that the East is just far far stronger right now. A middling team in the West could get to the Finals, wouldn't even have to be that great (possibly exemplified by Dallas). The Jackets are well-built for the playoffs, and if folks didn't know that before we took out the Leafs they should know it now.
Picked these up from a Selke debate at main boards. Looks good and Koivu even had a bad knee going on last season. Great pickup by Jarmo
So if I understand it correctly because the Jackets beat the Leafs who if I read between the lines are built for the playoffs (just ask any Leaf fan) and then lost to Tampa Bay they are definitely built for the playoffs.
Name the only two teams that have made the postseason four years in a row and that have won postseason series in each of the last two years.
I'm with Koivu on this one, or in his words "you can ask any player".

Making the playoffs in and of itself is not impressive. Making it consistently (4 years in a row) is. It is also a necessary step in becoming a cup contender. Cup teams typically spend ~5 years where they just make the playoffs before finally breaking out.2020 is different.
Like in HS football in Ohio where every team makes the playoffs and hence half the teams win a playoff game in the first round. Lot of teams at 6-4 beating 4-6 teams in the first round, is that really something to be proud of? We won a playoff game! Come on give them all trophies...
The series we (CBJ) won was us beating the team who was the #8 seed. That got us into the normal playoffs where we lost.

C'mon, no one has any guesses?

Koivu might be slow on his skates, but he still gets where he is needed quite quickly. His hockey sense, especially defensively is exquisite.There is reviel that Koivu is planned to play in 3rd line with Jenner and Foligno. Slowest line at the league?
Elite 4Cs don’t exist.
I would disagree. Koivu is not a useful player in producing offense anymore, but defensively he's still one of the best out there. So if used correctly, he can be very useful in such limited role. Add strong leadership qualities and he's pretty elite as 4C.
