Agreed ... we are missing a few pieces to win the big prize but we should logically have a good run in the playoffs this year.

Anything can happen in the playoffs. I still think Montreal has no chance of beating any teams is the West.

But I wouldn't be overly surprised if they lost in the first round either.

It's not simply one or the other....you need a combo of everything. Niemi & Crawford are christ in net right? Or Osgood? How bout MAF?....yikes. Even with Roy you still had quality in front. Same with brodeur. All defence with a Forsberg/Sakic/Hejduk, or a Fedorov/Yzerman/Shannahan. Or was it all defence for a Toews/Kane/Hossa? Maybe for a Kopitar/Gaborik/Carter/Doughty? What about Neidermyer/Nieuwendyk/Elias?

Subban, Markov, Pacioretty

Can't see Boston keeping up and we have Rask's number.

You honestly think it stacks up to those others? I certainly do not....

Boston is the only team I think that we have a good chance of beating in 5 or 6 this year.

I'm kinda torn about their chances of beating St. Louis.

Staal (100 pts)
Williams (80ish)

I think rod the bod has some good numbers too

Epic struggle to put the puck in the net...all year long. That's what I'm getting at. How much more difficult is it to score in the playoffs? We rely so heavily on Patches as our offensive force...now think about his playoff performances. Not concerned?
- Habsolute009

Concerned?

Nope.

I tend to be concerned about things that are in my control..

Don't think Panthers would give Price much trouble. Maybe Ottawa lol..

Well we don't have Crosby ... so we are stuck with what we have.

Great offensive talented players are not something other teams trade for peanuts and Bergevin refused to sell the farm to acquire one this year. On the bright side, we are the best defensive team in the league.

They will be hard to beat, depending if their goalie doesn't choke this year.
