I like the Canes against any Metro opponent and will confidently pick them. Desperately need to avoid WC2. Jackets are drawing dead against everyone, honestly would rather see the Habs goof around against TB or something. They'll probably get swept and we can laugh.

I've read some analysis indicating that Tampa has gone full Golden State and embraced the RoyalRoad-onetimer concept - that a particular shot type has the highest expected value, and that they basically set up their entire offence to try to generate that shot type (similar to how Golden State was an early recognizer of the value of the corner 3 in basketball).

In their case, it's the cross ice pass for one timer. Good article on the value of this kind of shot here:

Hopefully he brings a big silver thing back to Carolina as well.

Safely 2 points back...
you have 5 games to make up 6 points

Man it's amazing reading the leaf boards. They think

1) The only new Bruin since the last time they faced is Coyle

2) That the Bruins are a big aggressive hitting team (lol)

3) That Pasta plays on the line with Bergeron and Marchand, making them a 1 line team


This is supposed to be an informed hockey market!

When the Bruins home PP% was 30% I figured it couldn't stay there.

It's up to 32.8%. Hilarious. Thankfully the Leafs put their best effort forward late in the season and got that home ice!

I laugh my ass off at the 32 Boston threads on their boards and the complete lack of knowledge whatsoever. "They are actually pretenders, we have better forwards, defense, goalies and coaching"

they also somehow have no clue who Carlo is, one of the lowest GA/60 Dmen in the league

I watch Toronto Central @ Noon on NHL Network when I can, esp before they play the Bolts. To summarize Freddy Anderson is better than Vasy, their D corps are on par, their top 2 lines are the same.

The most suspect "edge" is Cockbab vs Cassidy.

I don't think that's gonna be an edge at all.
