fitting....for him. Provided the air is hot.

why is regular season meaningless? I don't get this at all.

It's meaningless once the playoffs start. It's understandable that you don't get that though.

So why would Montreal be the favorite....if regular season meaningless?

Price for Vezina

Crazy stat. Since the last lockout, this is the first season either team has taken the season series between the Leafs/Habs.

Been tied every season.

ya I have a bet every season with a buddy for wings and beer. 1st year there has been a winner.

It isn't but some seem to think so..

Again, no one would be a clearcut favorite in the East except the Pens with Crosby.

Their D is.

Phaneuf, Liles, Gardiner, and Gunnarson sure are plodding dmen. No speed there at all.


The only pairing you could call slow is Franson/Fraser.

I don't know who said that, but he never did.

guys,

there are indeed cases where a team dominated the other during the regular season but lost a playoff series to them.

there are also a lot of cases where a team dominated the other during the regular season and won a playoff series against them.


I think it's fair to say a playoff series between the Canadiens and Leafs this year is not exactly the Red- Wings - Avalanche matchups of the 90's and could pretty much go either way.

I WOULD NEVER TRADE ELLER FOR KADRI!!!

...because you'd never have that option?

They've proved all season that they have a lot of character and the effort has been there almost every game. A let down after clinching a playoff spot (and being virtually guaranteed home ice) is to NOT a big deal.

Once the playoffs stat, then it will matter.

No, he never had a shot.

Not even close to having a shot, actually.

Why didn't you bold the "once the playoffs start then it will matter" part?

Some would say you're a douche but i think you'd be a great lawyer.

I said last year or two years ago that I would consider it... Needless to say people in here laughed it out.

he's actually 106% correct. what you're saying makes no sense.





ps.: please don't interpret this in any way as me saying stormey is not a huge idiot.
