Boston probably wins that series healthy. Almost a sure thing really.

The senaturds upset the Rags. Good for them.

I've said in other threads, and will say it again. The Caps/Pens series is the de facto Stanley Cup final. Washington is the best team in the league, and the only team capable of beating them is the Pens.

I expect this next series to be a sweep. Sweeps are rare in the NHL, but this is one series that the prediction fits for.

Washington and Pittsburgh are a step above every team in the NHL this year.

I had Sens over Bruins. Then Rangers over Sens.

Considering how Rangers and Sens played out, it wasn't a dumb pick.

I say Pittsburgh and Nashville final... although if games 5 and 6 Fleury shows up, the Pens could be ripe for an upset.

What was great about that feature.

It said absolutely nothing of any interest or surprise. As far as providing insight into the series goes, there was near zero value in that article.

Here is a better feature breaking down the series.

Best goaltending wins.
The end.

I dunno Prock. How long can Fleury keep up hie level of play. Pittsburgh is missing a HUGE piece in Letang. How long can the defense hold up? How healthy is Crosby, I doubt he is as healthy as Karlsson is. Karlsson has some pain. Crosby's brain might not be right... HUGE difference.

I don't see this series as a sweep at all. If Ottawa gets the same kind of bounces they did against the Rangers and Fleury plays like Lundqvist did, there could be an upset there.

Amazing how quick spazzy is to cite an article that uses advanced stats to form an argument when it benefits the Sens.

Crosby seemed alright the other night.
If Fleury falters, the Pens still have another good goalie (who was their starter this year).


Obviously losing Letang is a huge blow, he's one of the top Dmen in the league. Plays well at both ends of the ice. But they still have Crosby, Malkin, and Kessel, which are the top 3 forwards..... for either team. And their D aren't too far off, even without Letang. (i.e. way better depth. The sens 2nd and 3rd pairing are pretty bad).


As has been shown, the sens get decimated when their depth is on the ice. The Pens have 2 lines they can roll out, and it has always been the case that, if you focus on covering Malkin's line, the other one will roast you. If you cover Crosby's line, the Malkin line will roast you. I not only think that won't change this series, it's going to really show, due to just how thin the Sens are.

I had not heard that.

What do you do though... Fleury has been playing well and Murray hasn't been playing for quite a while.

I think you stick with Fleury and have a very short leash.

Also if Fleury plays well they may be able to trade him. It was a much tougher sell before these playoffs.

Amazing how advanced stats sometimes confirm what the casual hockey fan is able to see by watching a game.

Keep praying. I am sure your misery over this situation is probably at an all time low. Cheer up. In another three weeks we can begin summer talk on how the Leafs are ready to win the Cup.

I think what is even more upsetting is the realization that the Sens will be even stronger next year.
