I'd prefer Montreal or Washington. I realize Washington has been hot as of late, but we always play them well.

Frankly, if Crosby isn't ready for round one, I'd be willing to take on Pittsburgh too. They've been very unimpressive since he's gone out. The only team I still want no part of is Boston.

Ovie and Holtby scare the shat out of me. Holtby last year was a force to be reckoned with and after that last game against him I want nothing to do with the guy. I think we match up much better to Montreal. Montreal is primed for an upset, IDK why I feel that way just do?

Lets clinch a spot first before we talk 1st rd matchups

Not to worry. Isles will go 5-0 to close out the season.


Confidence!!

Ottawa has the toughest schedule!!!

They still may drop down the standings.

He strikes me as the type who would root against Nabby & Poulin once he got banished to the minors. Just something about him
- Vukota

Yeah, i can see that. Incredible how once he was sent down this team responded the way they did. I really think there is a lot more to that than some people want to think?

We can breathe Vukota. We're making it this year

Oh I don't think we would either but it's hard to dispute that based on this run right now we would certainly be gaining on them given their injuries.

As for Jack...I think that contract is already completed and just awaiting the formality of his signature. I'd prefer someone else, but it's hard to argue given the turnaround we've seen.

I think the Isles give him one year and that is it. no reason to give him more than one. If Wang was smart that is what he would do. If he wants to waste money then give him two cause I will bet he only lasts one more year

Of course you don't...

Who will you cheer for if the Isles play Pittsburgh?

You (frank)er. Bite your tounge jk

Imagine whats going through that poor bastards mind right now?

Weird thing is we dont resign Nabakov next year can be a long year. I am real scared about that. We can sign another goalie but then who backs him up?? DP again Poulin, Nillson. Alot of question marks there

LOL...if we were actually playing I'd be with you on that. I'm not superstitious enough to believe my pondering first round matchups will shatter the karmic cosmos...maybe I should be.

Montreal Washington

I'd prefer Montreal.

Hey once again our boy Grabner had an amazing game. I hate to say this but he has been playing better even more than JT

Me too Washington is the sleeper team this year just watch.

hell be back...no question about it. it would be tough not to bring him back at this point.

You know Boyes is a bad player when not even I have anything good to say about him!

One of the best players for some time now. Limited ice time as compared to other players, playing with some undesirables at times and still comes through. Can't say enough about the guy.
