Vote Toronto. They made flashier moves in game, we have the better team.

Open to talk about your unprotected players! If you want to get something in return of a player you feel you will loose to Seattle!

My favorite color is blue, that’s the only place where you look better.

Your favourite colour may be blue, but you're blinded by the red!

I am blinded by all the SC experience on my team.

But you have Jumbo Joe, I will give you that... oh wait!

@SJSharks39 my bad I didn't realize voting was moving so quick

Ah yes that reminds me

Vote for Joe to win a cup!

@SJSharks39 my bad I didn't realize voting was moving so quick

You're fine. I just don't want to lose interest in the game so trying to get voting done soon so we can move on to entry draft/expansion/FA. I need at least one more vote for Round 2 possibly 2 or 3 depending on how the vote goes for the East series. Both of those are 3-2 right now.

 

[Gecklund]

Ah yes that reminds me

Vote for Joe to win a cup!

My vote has now changed.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

Ah yes that reminds me

Vote for Joe to win a cup!

Most people like when our games are realistic...

Lol... really no love for the Habs in these games.

Two teams close in the standings in IRL, and the team adding a couple 2nd/3rd line players wins over the one adding Crosby and a top 4 defenseman.

Strongly dislike MTL's depth forwards

Strongly dislike MTL's depth forwards

You mean Perry? Or the fact that Caufield is a rookie?

We had arguably the best 4th line in the NHL.

 

[m0pe]

MTL TOR was a tough one. I went MTL but not surprised it went other way.

Time will tell but I don’t see Toronto as contenders yet in real life. Don’t get me wrong, I think that they will get there, but I don’t see their window starting now.

 

[hockeynorth]

Caufield isn't an NHLer rn in my eyes, I don't love his play and Perry is getting rough, but it's more in comparison. Also I don't expect Josh Anderson or Ty Toffoli maintaining their current paces. Contact this with Matthews who's a major Hart contender this year, Marner, Tavares and Nylander, the top end depth runs over Crosby, plus you add Iafallo and Rakell.

Doing this fantasy draft style:



Tyler Toffoli - Sidney Crosby - Brendan Gallagher
Jonathan Drouin - Nick Suzuki - Josh Anderson
Corey Perry - Jesperi Kotkaniemi - Cole Caufield
Arturri Lehkonen - Erik Haula - Joel Armia

Mattias Ekholm - Shea Weber
Ben Chiarot - Jeff Petry
Alexander Romanov - Joel Edmundson
*Yannick Weber

Carey Price
Jake Allen

While I am not sold on Leafs 3rd line, i can follow your point. But in my eyes, Habs 2nd D pairing is clearly better.

I think that in the end, leadership, playoffs experience and goaltending would be the difference in such a series, with the edge going to the Habs.

But yeah, Toronto has a great top 6.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

We are obviously upset with our second round exit but the experience was huge for our young players like Suzuki, Kotkaniemi, Romanov and Caufield.

We believe in our core and our window is now. Our goal for 2021-2022 is nothing less than the Stanley Cup.

We are open to trade ideas and will wait after the expansion draft to make our plans for the offseason.

In other news, Joel Armia, Erik Haula, Corey Perry, Michael Frolik and Yannick Weber will not receive a contract offer and will become UFA.

I went with Toronto, they will get us with their PP and expose our not so fast defence with their upgraded roster. But it was close. And I don't believe Price will ever win....

 

[bertty]

Price, defense, leadership and tenacious O - lines. It is easy win for Montreal

 

[Peter Griffin]

We’ve got 4 1st’s, 2 2nd’s and some young NHL’ers such as Adam Gaudette and Tyson Jost available to trade for both a top 4 d-man and a solid, 3rd line center.

Understandable, but I love Holl right now

lol @ toronto beating Edmonton no chaaaaaance

 

[Carl182]

We are really upset about the first round exit.
We really beleived we add a though team built for the playoff.
We still believe in our chance to compete next year not having many big pieces leaving to free agency and a couple of young players in Whalstrom, Bellows, Koivula, Vande Sompel and Salo ready to make a push for a roster spot.
