Columbus Blue Jackets:

1. Bob is playing in Vezina form right now. IF he can replicate in the playoffs, they can steal a series from anyone. Look at the 2012-2013 Caps who lost to the 8 seed montreal squad because Halak played out of his mind.

2. Remaining schedule is one of the easiest in the league. They could in theory get on a nice littler heater heading into the playoffs (win 6 out of 7 or something)

3. CBJ have the best PK in the game right now.

4. Revenge series against either Washington or Pitt where they would be extra revvvved up not that they need to.

If they can figure themselves out before the playoffs start, this team is gonna be scary confident.

I WILL NOTE, if bob returns to playoff bob form, they will lose first round in five games

I agree with them as a Dark Horse. Stars have to align tho.

Depth.


Of course, what negates all of that is average at best goaltending unless Mrazek continues to keep getting better.

- BINGO!

It looks like he finally learned how to turn left

Flyers will be the toughest playoff team.
- Feds91Stammer


I'm gonna go on record as saying the Flyers won't lose a single playoff game this season.

Tampa Bay, Washington, the Preds and Jets. San Jose could be an issue but they seem to choke.

Hurt to say ..but I believe that Boston has torontos number again this year I just don't see any "toughness" from the leafs.. kadri seems to be playing like he is scared,hainsey can't knock a feather out of the crease the only ones that seem to be playing with any sort of grit is Hyman and muzz ..here's hoping that the leafs get there playoff style asap but...

I'm starting to get worried.

Maybe Evander Kane knocked him out and threw him in a treasure trove of assets.

Over worked ? Not exactly anderson is 8th in the league with 53 games played

As far as the defense goes ..I would not go as far as super thin but ya there is not doubt it needs to be addressed next year...n

But an easy out nah I don't see it sorry i do think the bruins have the ability to take out the leafs in 6 maybe 7 games this year

I think the Bruins will get it, but there's a good chance they can't outgun the Leafs. As a 3rd party with no rooting interest, it should be one of the best series in the yoffs this year, and as a Flyers fan I'll have plenty of time to watch it
