You’re just spitting nonsense.No point. We're talking Atlantic teams that went to finals , I mentioned the ones that didn't.
And one that hasn't in the last 57 years.![]()

I thought both series were great.You made it to 6 games because Swayman played the best games of his career. Your team was completely outmatched. Boston was the easiest series in the playoffs for us. Tampa put up way more of a fight.
Maybe so. Nonsensical facts though.You’re just spitting nonsense.
Is that the bar for success now? ‘Finals appearances’?No point. We're talking Atlantic teams that went to finals , I mentioned the ones that didn't.

The sabres are just the sabres. That being said I feel like a lot of those Atlantic teams could be interchangeable.Why do you hate me so?

I guess it’s hard to bicker about how long the leafs cup drought has been, when your own team is at 32 years and counting lol
Can Carey Price come out of retirement for the leafs so they too can join the coveted ‘cup finals losses’ club?
Listen, we’re both working on franchise longest cup droughts here. There is no bar. It’s a who’s pee pee is smaller type of debate. There’s no winning. Literally.93 Habs received Stanley Cup rings.
93 Leafs received Norris Divisions rings. (for real)
Lol..... how's that for "setting the bar"
Who said anything about winningListen, we’re both working on franchise longest cup droughts here. There is no bar. It’s a who’s pee pee is smaller type of debate. There’s no winning. Literally.
I mean sure there was close games but it was easily clear Florida was the dominant team 5/6 games. Swayman had a great playoffs.
Just because a series goes 6 or 7 doesn't mean it was close. Florida was better than Boston most of that series besides game 1. You can argue about the blatant missed calls thar could of changed the direction of the series but it didn't happen.
Boston Vancouver went 7 in 2011 and that series was very 1 sided
1. Toronto
2. Florida
3. Tampa Bay
4. Boston(WC)
5. Montreal
6. Buffalo
7. Ottawa
8. Detroit
Why do you hate me so?
Hey so nothing changes from last year?Panthers/Bruins
Leafs/lighting
Who cares after
I still see the sabers as the team who rises in the division first before the sens but maybe TB and all those playoff games catch up to them this year as that core is getting close to losing an edge.Boston
Florida
Toronto
Tampa
Ottawa
Buffalo
Detroit
Montreal
Hey so nothing changes from last year?
I don't see it. For me Tampa is the first to fall. Guentzel might replace the scoring of Stamkos but Mc Donaugh is getting old, he's no Sergachev out there. I see guys like Glendenning, Girgensons, Ylonen, Eyssimont in the bottom 6 that's not a complete team....An off year from Vasilevsky and the Bolts could be grounded.
Bruins aren't better to me. Lindholm is a nice two way centre. But losing De Brusk takes away scoring on a team that struggled to score in the playoffs. Zadorov could very well lay an egg, with the big money in his pocket now. Korpisalo doesn't give you the secondary goaltending that Ullmark did. 100th anniversary Marchand can fall down easy and get the calls, might be enough for a playoff appearance but the Bruins seem to be going into a reactionary position after being outmuscled by the Panthers.
Panthers will have a hangover, but should be good enough to stay near the top.. Unless bad Bob reappears. Defense doesn't look good though. Can they sustain any injuries? Can the Boqvists replace key players lost?
Leafs collapse and do nothing again. Oh wait new captain, the guy who laid an egg in game 7 against Boston. PP should be good again. What's the over/under on Chris Tanev games this year? Is Ekman-Larsson after years of disappointment going to be a disappointment again. In Woll and Stolarz they trust?
Detroit, Buffalo and Montreal all get better from being bad for so long, and having good prospects mature. Who has the best coach of the 3? That's a tough one. But one, maybe two of these teams are going to rise this year into the playoffs.
I feel like Ottawa is a theater. Just like the politicians, you change them out, but nothing ever changes. Could be the breaking point for Brady.
All the Sabers need is a little bit better luck in the health department and they will be a playoff team this year.Detroit and Buffalo absolutely did not get better.
Giving away a top 4 D, and a 2nd round pick for literally nothing does not make you better
Having 4 goalies does not make you better
Replacing Jeff Skinner with Jason Zucker does not make you better, in fact that makes you worse.
Trading a 2nd round pick for a 4th liner does not make you better.
Trading a top prospect for a 3rd line C doesn't make a difference.
Not everybody in the division got better, but NOBODY lost ground to either Buffalo or Detroit

Don’t think you read the post.Wait …. Are yo listing Detroit, Buffalo and Montreal are all going to make the playoffs while Tampa, Boston and Toronto miss?
Is that what you’re trying to say here? You’re joking, right? ….. right??
