No offense, but I don't think the Senators will make the Playoffs. They have relied heavily on an impossible to sustain Condon situation.

Dare I say their Condon might break?

Condon has been good but nothing spectacular. They are strong are neutralizing fast teams by plugging up the neutral zone. Anderson will come back and take the ropes because we all know that he's the better goalie. Watch them regularly and you will see they are the real deal this year.

I must be about six years old because this almost made me cry from laughter.

They're not terrible or anything, I really like most of their roster, but they aren't as good as the Leafs, Canadians or Bruins (ranked by the order of how good they are) and I don't know if they can steal a wildcard from New York or Carolina.

You sir, are flat-out crazy. I know the President has made it okay to provide alternative facts and whatnot but whoa... Step away from keyboard.

Boston is in tough right now, below all the teams you mentioned (except TO) and still has multiple games in hand.

If any team drops out of the playoffs, it's them.

In my opinion.

This statement shows how little you watch them play.

Below in the standings, yes. But probably a top five team in the NHL overall. They've had some terrible luck, I'd look for them to right the ship and make up those games in hand.

Admitedly, unless they play Toronto Edmonton Washington or Phoenix, I don't watch the Senators too much. But I do think they are higher in the standings than they should be.

jesus man, you're insane..........boston is not close to being a top 5 team overall in the NHL.

that's because you're a giant leaf homer who is completely incapable of not looking at the world through blue coloured glasses...........which is why you stated that the leafs were one d-man away from being the best team in the NHL.

I am not insane, I am 100% correct.

Pittsburgh, Washington, St. Louis, Boston and Minnesota are the five best teams. The standings don't always reflect reality because its a league of full parity and luck plays a huge factor in determining who wins.

Just outside this top five is LA, Toronto, Montreal, Nashville and Columbus (grudgingly). Tampa and Florida get a pass due to injury. Edmonton is right there because of Mcdavid.

Toronto and Boston are in your top 10 but Chicago, Anaheim, and San Jose aren't......the only thing that doesn't always reflect reality is your opinions

Shame on a coach for making the most of a roster that isnt gifted at scoring goals. Then its a shame people are to stupid to understand hockey so they just call it boring hockey. Maybe thee capitals will actually make it out of the second round this year.

Boston and Toronto are better teams than either of those three. Anaheim is a paper tiger and both San Jose and Chicago are aging and not as good as they were. The NHL standings are extremely volatile and aren't really an accurate reflection of how good teams have actually played at the 50 game mark.
