Even when you look at how good the personnel is, the unknown is how will they play when the real season (playoffs) starts.@Ola is spot on so far and I had Tampa in 5. I thought Tampa was strong based on record regular season and president trophy. But playoffs is all about the race to 4 so CBJ might surprise us.
However Ola had a rock solid opinion about CBJ and he believed that CBJ had the best team in playoffs player for player and I start to believe him. He has been here since 2002 or something so he is on something here and have incredible hockey knowledge sometimes.
Toronto Maple Leafs looked like crap down the stretch. Everybody in Leafs Nation was freaking out, can't blame them. What I saw was lack of effort.
What I saw from the Leafs in Game 1 was a very big effort. The Bruins were flat though.
I like this Bluejackets team. I like Tortorella, always did, even though I knew it was the best thing for NYR to get rid of him when he was 'Mad John". The stuff he was doing did not fit with what the Original Six class organization New York Rangers do.
Good for Columbus if they can pull this upset off.
