Which team with home ice is most likely to lose in round 1?

[Sasha Orlov]

Are people SO down on the Leafs that they're superconfident in this shaky Habs team?

Not at all! But when they haven’t won a series in almost two decades...

Panthers/Bolts and Caps/Bruins are coin flips to me. Don't really care who has home ice. I think the Penguins are the most likely 1 to go down. Their division is brutal.

Picked Caps.

It took the Cubs 95 years to win a series. Anything's possible.

Toronto

History has shown again and again that this team sucks at playoff hockey

How exactly? By losing two seven game series against a superior BOS team?

They're not losing to the friggen Montreal Canadiens.

By not winning a playoff series for 17 years

And what does that have to do with the current core? They're going to lose to a mediocre team in this year's playoffs because the franchise couldn't win a series with Matt Stajan or Tyler Bozak as a number one centre years ago?

Then you don't know history.
They've been competitive in playoff hockey.

Its time for a change...and they're not alone in this 1st round quest this year.
Things change.

Habs looked pretty good in the play-ins last year, Carey Price especially.

Toronto are the favorites - but it's certainly not a done deal.

Different coach from last year too.
