Be careful what you wish for.

It's just the truth. Doesn't mean they will win though.

 

[SheldonJPlankton]

Don't watch Ottawa much but this must mean they are a character team

Passionate, yes.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Galley is one salty boi lmao

Sportsnet is so sad

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

no.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Due to injuries, Devils and Wild have to be the two easiest outs.

...Wild are getting healthy...they are a team to watch, imo...I'd rather play St. Louis...

 

[Gjman2019]

...depends on if you like No Defense hockey...I like an open game but I don't know how Devils fans' nerves handle it...

Entertainment wise their speed is awesome, especially when Hughes is there........In game 7 against the Rangers a couple years back , a couple times it looked like someone hit the fast forward button (not joking).

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Bouch Bomb SJ 0 EDM 1. San Jose would probably do better if they had a goalie in net.

 

[Three On Zero]

San Jose, you don't need to deflect pucks into your own net

 

[Alex1234]

Ottawa will be destroyed by Toronto. Easisest 1st round opponent Toronto has had.

They won the 3 season meetings

The Bouch-Boflection

 

[Gjman2019]

Ekholm looking banged up again....

Such a key piece for them....Can't see them winning without him.......

 

[Nineteen67]

The Tkachuk battle in round two is a likely scenario if Matthew can play.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Ekholm looking banged up again....

Such a key piece for them....Can't see them winning without him.......

...they won't beat LA if Ekholm isn't available, imo...he IS their Top pairing defenisively...

Home ice will mean a lot in that series, final games here are pretty important for Edmonton

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Who the hell cares. Regular season means nothing. Habs won all 4 games against Florida. Wouldn't mean much in the playoffs.

 

[Gjman2019]

Yeah we'll see how this progresses throughout the game here.......Guys will usually give it a go in the playoffs unless they're on their death bed but how effective can they be is the question.......

We can totally agree about his importance to that team.....

LA isn't afraid to lay the body, that's a terrible matchup for Edmonton. If they come out of that series they are going to be hurting.

...they need Ekholm as healthy as he can possibly be to have a shot, imo...if it means resting him now and coughing up Home Ice, they at least have to think long and hard about it...

DESTROYED YEAHHH

Especially seeing its LA and then likely Vegas in the first 2 rounds.

 

[Gjman2019]

Yah just get your point you need tonight to clinch and rest everyone who needs it....

Yep tough road for sure.....

 

[Three On Zero]

Yep tough road for sure.....

McDavid, Draisaitl and Ekholm are going to be ridden hard and Edmonton has no one to step up and make them pay for it.

 

[Jay26]

Saturday IIRC

Alrighty then, thanks.

 

[Gjman2019]

It's all about health with them in my oponion..........Serious rreinforcements coming back if healthy......
