Haven't posted in a long time but always been reading Bill's stuff.

Today I was clinging to hope that Boston would win because if they wake up they're sleeping giants and really wanted them and tampa to have to kill each other in the 2nd round prior to the finals vs hopefully us.

Now in theory boston could wake up and it could be montreal boston tampa then a tough west team. We are a great team at this stage but that road is perilous.

Lineup I want to see assuming jakes health is:
G coots jake
Laughton hayes tk
Farabee grant nak
Jvr Thompson pitlick

Provy niskanen
Sanheim myers
Ghost braun

We forget we struggled vs montreal including being absolutely shelled one game. Their skating was tough for us. We are not that same team but I want all our elite skaters out their regardless. And while price won't steal this whole series he could easily push this to a 6 7 game series if we are not careful. Would like to see jvr flip for tk on pp1 to see if it goes anywhere and run 1 defenseman (ghost) on pp2 with hayes tk nak farabee.

Going for Toronto tonight. Because this jackets team is not the same one who tampa lost to last year and tampa is heavier now. Tampa beat them already this year. However tampa struggled vs toronto. We can beat toronto and if toronto can upset tampa we can set up a probable caps bruins. I like those odds better. We are not some ridiculously elite team that still doesn't want favorable match ups though we can play with anybody.

This team is playing as well as anybody in the East. Maybe the league for that matter. I say bring any of them on.

Love and respect the enthusiasm. I'm still cheering for path of least resistance and good health.

Sounds like Lindblom is joining the team this weekend and will be cleared for play by the beginning of September.

In the grand scheme I guess it really doesn't matter.

However I would be greatly pleased if the Leafs get eliminated tonight.

Yup. As long as they, the Pens or Rags don’t get the top pick, it’s all good

Their media will lose their mind. Will be epic. can’t poop on Babcock anymore. They’ll gun for the players and Dubas. Which may trigger some panic moves

NHL really dropped the ball with this #1 pick. Teams like TOR, Pitt, Edm all with a chance now, stupidity at its finest.

People can give us crap about 1975 but at least it isn't 1967. No Pens. No Leafs. I needed this in 2020.
