-5Why can’t I find the Leaf logo there?
Maybe, but I would not be surprised if Buffalo comes out of the East. We have not looked good against them.Fla & Caps are out… who’s that physical beast in the East?
Buf? Pfffffft ….. they’re out in round 1 & it won’t be close…. this seasons version of “hamburglar”, nice Cinderella season story.
IF Habs make the playoffs, and they should …. they will be cake walking to conf finals
east is open , Canes are butterfliesMaybe, but I would not be surprised if Buffalo comes out of the East. We have not looked good against them.
Tampa, Carolina....it might go as other recent years for them. Not good enough, in the end.
Really odd year in the East. We're used to seeing Florida, Boston or Leafs as strong teams going in to the playoffs. The question was which of those two would take out the Leafs. Florida, Leafs out. Boston won't do damage.

I’ll take TBay to win over Avs or Stars u know the two .700 teamsNo it doesn’t. 0.700 does.
One of the wins for us was in October before the Sabres became the new Sabres. I did not like the look in the others. May not mean a thing.We went 2-2 against Buffalo.
Laying odds?I’ll take TBay to win over Avs or Stars u know the two .700 teams
I thought watching that Guhle played really well last nightFrom the Athletic
In 13:31 with Guhle and Carrier on the ice at five-on-five against the Bruins, the Canadiens held a 20-5 advantage in shot attempts, 8-2 in shots on goal, 8-0 in high-danger scoring chances and they controlled 96.45 percent of the expected goals, according to Natural Stat Trick.
Guhle did get a handful of five-on-five minutes away from Carrier and finished with a team-high 88.42 percent expected goal share. From that one perspective, it was the best game of Guhle’s career.

1986 Habs were last Cup winners having the youngest team in the league (24.41… even younger than this years team!!)in a playoff series, a physical team with a good coach can both a) wear us down b) adjust to our unconventional style

Show some love to Jean Perron.1986 Habs were last Cup winners having the youngest team in the league (24.41… even younger than this years team!!)
Quality of vets on that 86 team (vs quantity) was significant given # of HOFers amongst those vets + Gainey & Big Bird rumored to be the de facto coaches of that team
