They have a few heavy weights that will make for some epic series.

Even though they lose to VGK, Colorado is still my West pick.

Team that scares me the most in the East is Carolina.

Hedman out is a game changer in the East

Carolina does look good until you get to their goaltending imo.

I don't want them over looking Montreal. Especially if Carey Price is returning to his old ways.

Honestly you can make a case for the majority of the east.

Vegas and St. Louis are the two most complete but yeah. Who knows.

I'm sure that this tag can be laid on Pitlick, "Legbreaker".
After the four games, I'm smug. This is a trend I want to invest in!

Ghost again had a good performance. Again no hesitation in shooting the puck or making decisions.

Last night the kids dominated. Good to see farabee with that laser. Good confidence going in.

Did anyone else feel like Grant was just a step behind last night?

Pitlick was flying with Thompson.

Good win. Glad hart didn’t get shelled but just the opposite. I wonder what Tampa mental state is right now.

Montreal is simply not deep enough. If the Flyers play smart and with that same up-tempo intensity that they've showed since mid-season, there is no reason to expect them to lose.

That's how I feel too. No reason they can't dismantle them in 5.

We’re in a perfect position to go all the wall. Top seed. Probably the hardest working team in the league today. Maybe the best structured team.

The Flyers destiny is in their own hands.

When we faced MTL last time in regular season we might have had 10 fast breaks and/or 2 on 1s. This was before we got Grant and Thompson too.

Carey Price can steal a series from anyone. This will be a tough series.

- hereticpride


Yes he can. But in most series I feel it comes down to how well you our bottom six preform. I think our bottom six will be able to chip in more than theirs. Putting more pressure on their goalie. They beat the pens but the pens have not been firing on all cylinders.

Also they have dale Weiss. He is a spy and will do something stupid to give us a couple critical power plays.

Isles could be troublesome for us as well.

I think he just stole his series. And from a team that really wasnt playing all that well.

Yeah, I’d rather Torts be out of the playoffs. I think Toronto’s back end is not strong enough.

I like Washington but I think will be a pretty tough matchup.

It’s a bit of a double edge sword, on one side I’ve enjoyed watching the Leafs lose for over 50 years and I hope it continues, on the other side I don’t want them to win the first overall pick if they lose...hmmm.

Hoping Leafs win. I think the Caps win today. Boston is not looking sharp.
Building on what someone mentioned yesterday. If the Leafs lose there is a 50% chance of one of the Leafs, Rags, Pens or Oilers getting the first overall pick.

I don’t want the Leafs having any shot in draft lotto. It’s not like they’re gonna go anywhere with that defense anyway.

Did they ever state an explanation for how they decided on this?
