Series Talk: [M1] Washington Capitals vs [WC2] Montreal Canadiens (WAS Leads 2-0)

[ViD]

Washington certainly didn’t impress after the Ovie record.

Would not be surprised with any outcome

The only way we can win against the caps is perhaps in the net for Washington.

Leafs fan here… Habs in 6. They got nothing to lose, and the Habs in the playoffs it’s magic. Some way somehow they always do something crazy and pull of upsets

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Habs just happy to be there. Gassed down the stretch and lots of holes. Their time will come but it's not now.

Caps in 5.

 

[Connor MethDavid]

Washington will win this series most likely, but it'll be fun to see Montreal on the biggest stage after 4 years.

Yeah. Honestly, my main takeaway as a Leafs fan is that it was a pretty reasonable turnaround from bottom to playoff return for the Habs. Whether or not it's sustainable is another thing, but good experience for the kids this year .

Interested to see if Washington's regular season success translates into the playoffs.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I still hate Halak

Habs will not go down easy

It will be closer than a lot think IMO

Don't worry. He's gone. He can't hurt you.

Dobes though...

 

[le_sean]

Just need Dobes to take that net away like Halak and we can recreate some magic

 

[MMC]

This is gonna be a slaughter

 

[habsterr]

The series will be tighter than expected.

Caps in 7.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Caps probably breathing a sigh of relief the way cbj played them this past weekend

 

[WcRoenick97]

Should be a fun series in all seriousness. Habs are going to be scary in another season or two. Must get revenge for being Halak'd in 2010.

100%. The two teams I don't want to see in the East are the Tampa and Columbus. One is luckily staying at home.

 

[the valiant effort]

The Habs have been sluggish down the stretch, but after they flip the playoff switch it’s unlikely they lose a game in round one

 

[Johnny Tomala]

Capitals in 5.

 

[JJ68]

ok now that we're in time to dress the sheriff. Stop screwing around Marty. And no not to fight blah blah....the caps are a big heavy team and the Habs are exhausted down the stretch. Take out whomever and play the sheriff.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

TBH, they've been on a downward spiral since March, and even before March had to have goaltending bail thjem out all the time.

 

[JonathnTaylorTavares]

Since my team didn’t make it, it will be nice to have a team to atleast root against

 

[TCIH]

The good news for Montreal is that Washington has been playing like trash.
The bad news for Montreal is that Montreal has been playing like trash.

I think the NHL steps in and DQs both teams after going seven games without a win.

My Dad was French Canadien who loved the Habs and that part of me is happy for Habs nation and will be cheering them on but the nucks fan who's gutted says how did a team 17th in GF, 23 in GAA and 21 on the PP and a negative goal differential pull this off?

Oh well go Habs and the hardcore fans, not the ones who stick with ther team I'm excited for you guys but the tank thread guys just like in Vancouver last year can suck a big one

 

[BB79]

Caps in 4 based on what the Habs look like tonight vs an N-AHL team. But also wouldn't surprise me if the Caps choked

 

[bud12]

Caps are 100% the better team. Just happy the young habs team will get some playoff taste for the futur

 

[jetsforever]

Caps in 5, shouldn't be that hard (would be funny if the Habs won though)

 

[Metroid]

Habs with the upset here. In 7.

 

[kevsh]

I am not all convinced the Caps are legit and therefore are a tempting pick to be upset.

But not by the Habs. Washington in 5.
