Quebec City Flames would be too good! Might have some Flames fans jumping out of the windows from those empty office buildings downtown

A move to airdrie would render them the Sens 2.0

Tampa murdered the Leafs.

Even if they get by Boston man, Tampa will sweep em.

You see that Lightning SH goal against the Leafs? 4 Leafs change after the puck is down the ice and it turns into a SH 3-on-1 They deserve the boos after something like that.

They’re not getting by Boston. No way, no how. No grit in their forwards other than Kadri. They’re not built for the playoffs. Management failed them big time not picking up some toughness up front.

Maybe they should have acquired a Dion phanuef type at the deadline.

Muzzin was a really good pickup for them. But their forwards have no grit. Marchand will lick them all.

I'd say Marner has the hard work, dogged on the puck and throw his body on the line kind of effort that I think it far more important than physical toughness. I think that's the thing they miss out on more in their forwards. They have some real elite board play guys in Tavares and Matthews for top separate lines.

What'll hurt them is their D's difficulties along the boards and in the slot. Muzzin will help but Gardiner, Dermott and Zaitsev are pretty weak in those regards and I haven't seen enough evidence to convince me Rielly is that far beyond average in those respects, either.

They could’ve used a puck moving RHD as well, but it seems that everyone is looking for one of those these days

Not yet. I watched the Raptors get destroyed by the Cavs. I'm pretty pissed. Ibaka pinned a dude against the stanchion of the net so that was fun. I needa see that though man.

I'd say a guy like Larsson/Gudas would've done them better than another puck mover, but I can agree that any other RD would've done them good.

That was high. Should net him 2 games judging the way the DoPS has been doling out 2 gamers.

Game 7, Round 2. Same thing. They took out Sekera. High hit on Russell. Think they crunched Benning too.

Cave's line always works hard. I see him being the Oilers 4C next season.

Rangers gonna score here and hold on to win because this team can't get it done when push comes to shove.

So? He's getting older, haven't really noticed him much this season either, play him as a 13th forward.

Doesn't mean he deserves the spot. He can be buried and only cost ~200k,
