But in all seriousness, he's an undrafted FA out of college. Kid can play

He's an absolute hound on the puck.

I agree, it was a funny statement.

I mean, is there really such a thing as a good Habs fan?

Not so bold prediction :

Tavares is gonna be a beast. The guy is having a career year. He is living a childhood dream. And this is his first playoffs with his dream team. Barring an untimely injury, I think Tavares is going to give the Bruins fits.

I'm hoping that the Tavares line goes head to head against the Bergeron line and wins that matchup.. Then I hope Matthews goes full beast mode and destroys the Krejci line..

I hope whoever wins this series wins the Stanley Cup.

That would be great... you know, for us.. Not so much for you guys.

Mainly because, no more "1967" chants.

Outside of Krejci, that line is nothing much to worry about, and he is prone to vanishing for long stretches - although I doubt he will do that this year. Krejci is having a solid year, but he's the most dangerous thing on that line. Shut him down and that entire line is shut down.

The Bruins made themselves less top heavy than last year's squad, but they are still woefully top heavy. After they took the first game from Tampa last year, the Lightning came back and smothered them to death. Krejci was no help that year and their bottom six was dominated. I think the Leafs will do the same thing this year. The Bruins will put up a fight, but barring an insane run from Rask, I see the Leafs taking them out easier than most folks expect.

Yeah, so let's bring up an overstated top heavy argument (last year, as you admit, that was more true) and forget about and or not mention every problem the Leafs have had since December

You saying the Leafs are going to roll the Bruins is just as dumb as the Leafs fans who think they have no shot.

Psh! The Leafs knew back then that they'd be playing Boston in the first round so they were playing opossum since then. Trying to lull them into a false sense of security.

I predict Leafs in 6. Also, I think I am in love with you.

It's probable.. I mean, we've known since early Feb that it would be Toronto v. Boston.

For Habs's fans tonight, it is simple. Pray that the first card shown at the #NHLDraftLottery lottery isn't a big CH. Which would mean, of course, that they are picking top 3. Considering there is an unprecedented 10-point gap b/w 14th and 15th, it would arguably be justified.


(frank)ing guy thinks it'd be justified if the Habs win the lottery.

Backes is on 4th line or looking like he'll be in the press box. Here were the practice lines yesterday.

Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak
DeBrusk - Krejci - Khulman
Johansson - Coyle - Heinen
Nordstrom - Acciari - Wagner

what about da playoff tuffness?

Everyone knows the real winner is Colorado.

We've added Tavares and Muzzin. Bruins have added what? Johanssen and Coyle?
