Matthews gets hyman

Heard Marner is into older guys, so Marleau is his target

Cuter than Marchand and Komarov, anyway.

I like him over Kap to be honest.

Just a reminder to hockey fans:

1st prize is a Hockeybuzz toque.

2nd prize is a Hockeybuzz t-shirt.

Everyone is welcome - even people not picking the Leafs in the 1st round.

My X factor for this series, and it has been overlooked due to the star power in this series, is the bruins 4th line. They have been a headache for opponents all season, and haven't seemed this productive since 2011.

Our 4th line is solid as well.

Kapanen-Turtleneck-Komarov/Johnsson

I think there is a chance he swaps Komarov and him after game 1, just to see which one handles playoff hockey better.

Babs isn't afraid to make lineup changes

You have a strong case there

I think both need to be in the lineup. I hate to say it but they have both been more impressive than brown in their short stints

I'm sure he has, but I don't think these guys can bring the same level of direct opposition to Matthews like Zetterberg or Bergeron can.

These guys are not only dangerous offensively, they're amazing at countering the other centre they're facing.

Backstrom, as good as he is, is not the same kind of player. And Ovechkin is a winger.

Perhaps, but I think we haven't seen the best of the Leafs yet.. They had clinched a playoff spot early and were coasting to the end of the season.. I expect the Leafs to play the way they did against Nashville in March.

Yep, I think we haven't even seen what Matthews is capable of yet. Which is scary

I think Matthews is really going to come out this playoffs, him and Marner.

I was only able to get Marner in my pool though.

Picked 3 Leafs, 3 Preds, 2 Sharks, 3 Caps and one Devil because there was no D left except NJ but I see them upsetting TB

I took 1 of my favorite whipping boys...JVR

9 guys in the pool...I drew 9, took Forsberg / Marchand 1st picks

I already have my winning picks in there.

It's annoying that they have so many wingers and so few centre's that matter in terms of prospects.

I took Forsberg 3rd overall

I think Nashville is the only team I can confidently think they are going straight to the conference finals at least.

Marchand

ummm. thanks?

Agreed, Brooks looks okay. May be a 4th line C one day but we need a center with upside

Johnsson Komarov Kapanen would be my pick for 4th line...but Pleks is responsible defensively and better at the draw I would think, I don't think he'll come out.

Pleks looked much better in the final games, he came to a team he hated, that already had a playoff spot locked up, and for the first time has been away from his family.

Well, gentlemen, it's been a pleasure knowing you.

See you after my ban.

Nashville/Winnipeg in the 2nd round would be something.
