What are our chances of making it to the cup final?

[fordillingerlifesake]

I think we have a very good chance of making it, we can beat any team in the east , always have trouble against Detroit but I don't see us even playing them. Oh and also Philly, never have luck with them, but that will be on the metro side of things anyway. The vanek line is hot right now, and we are riding a hot streak before the playoffs that I haven't seen before! Discuss

I'd say 1/8. The east is wide-open!

Buddy...we can still meet Philly in the Conference finals.

This is true.

 

[attachetatuque]

12.5%

 

[Treb]

These are our probable opponent:

TB - We can beat them
Boston - We mostly do great against them
Penguins - MAF, enough said
STL,SJ,LA, COL, Ducks or Chicago

Giroux AND Lecavalier vs Montreal

Giroux AND Lecavalier vs Montreal

No Biron. We're good I think.

 

[Analyzer*]

About as likely as this is the last thread to be made about this.

 

[NobleSix]

Giroux AND Lecavalier vs Montreal

Please no...

We are not the favourite but have a shot. For the first time in 20 years.

Can't help but think back to the trade deadline when many on this board wanted Markov traded. Or Gionta for a lousy 5th round pick.

Picks and prospects have a greater value than real live NHL talent dontcha know

Don't matter that most NHL owners want IN on the playoffs for the extra revenue. This sadly differs from the Fan's POV cuz WE NEED PROSPECTS TO BUILD
Prospects and picks can go bust for a multitude of reasons, known NHL assets are just that - known assets. In today's NHL the goal is the playoffs cuz playoffs are more revenue!! SCFs are just extra gravy

Pretty good. If I had to throw out a number I'd say 1/4. I'm actually more worried about Tampa than I am of Boston or Pittsburgh. We match up so much better against those teams than we do against Tampa.

 

[Smokey Thompson]

Tampa scares me.

If we beat them, odds are we'll face Boston. If there's one team in the East that can beat Boston, it's Montreal.

After Boston, as long as be don't face Philly, we'll make it to the SCF.

You sir are expecting a lot. I am too but I dont want to be disappointed like last year. Hopefully unlike last year we can go into the playoffs playing well.

 

[Andy]

Tampa reminds me of last year's ottawa.

 

[Brainiac]

Very hard to tell. East's gonna be flukey for sure. We're not afraid of any team, but we could be out in the first round as well.

I wouldn't bet on anything regarding the East this year, to be honest.

 

[PricerStopDaPuck]

Last year you could tell we were going to be disapointed, Price wasn't the goalie we were used to and we lost plenty of our last few games. This year there is no sign of us collapsing and we are almost a completely different team with Vanek in it seems, less of a struggle to score goals.

 

[CH25]

Boston alone have like 50% odds of making it. If they're out it's wide open.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Better than they've been in a long time. Not that that's saying much but still...

 

[Bleu Blanc Rouge]

Tampa reminds me of last year's ottawa.

I prefer losing against tampa than ottawa.

If we beat tampa and boston, I'm not sure we can beat philly. Id be more confident if we face pittsburgh or nyr in the ecf. We know how MAF and Lundqvist are against us.

 

[Bob Cole]

the cup is coming back home, vanek and price sainted the next day

 

[Fergy22]

Am I the only one who thinks if Detroit is healthy and plays the Bruins, they can beat them?
