Canucks desperately need an upgrade on D. Not gonna win anything with Soucey, Myers, Juulsen, and Desharnais occupying 4 of the 6 spots. A bunch of big, immobile guys who can't really do anything with the puck.
Brannstrom isn't great either
They dropped the ball on lily honestly him and soucy could have been decent

Because they beat the Flyers in OT?
Most likely because the past 3 years they went
President's Cup, Stanley Cup finalists, Stanley Cup Champs.

They are still a very good team. Fatigue may catch up, but as of now, they are better than anyone in the East

They've also won 7 straight and haven't been affected by the Cup hangover or playing over in Europe in terms of jet lag, time adjustments.

Weren't you predicting that Florida would struggle and eventually fall into a wild card battle or something?
Yeah, I do think they will fall off. They won't be immune to the same thing that happens to every team that reaches the finals in successive years.

Lots of talk in HFBruins of just getting in the playoffs and beating the Leafs in round one. That is what success looks like to them. Just beating the Leafs. That's their cup. They dont care of they get swept in round 2.

It's been a rough week. Shut out by the Leafs and lost to Ottawa on home ice. Their idiot fans have to grasp whatever straws they can.

I see Liljegren getting alot of powerplay time with the Sharks in the games he's played, much more than he ever got with the Leafs. Lets see if he can find some offense in his game at this point in his career.

Lots of PP yet 4 minutes in penalties and no points to show for it. Just like the Liljegren we know.
