Florida is a much better matchup than Boston for the leaves. I’m not saying Florida can’t win but it’s a bad matchup.

No. Calgary was fine, not a divisonal rival.

I think they're pretty solid though. They lost a lot from last year, but maybe finally the pieces they acquired are starting to gel at a dangerous time.
Will be extremely interested to watch round 2.

I honestly think we would've beaten Boston had we made the playoffs.

Do the Sens next Keith. Say Brady should have never extended here. Anything.

I hope every fanbase that has won a Cup in the last 30 years experiences this feeling.

Without Chabot, Chychrun, and Norris, probably not, but it would have been hard fought. With them? Oh yes absolutely.

He did say that Ottawa didn't have a lot of talent in the same quote lol.
Boston has no first rounders for the next 2 years, no 2nd rounders for the next 3 years, they just extended Pasta long term, and if Bergeron and Krejci don't come back on severe discounts, they're beyond screwed lol

Florida is good. Much better than their record. They are very deep up front. Montour emergence has elevated their d and Bob can play at a vezina level. He's hot now.

Pastrnak is worth every penny.... he's only 26. They have a great core.... They are gonna continue to be good with or without Bergeron and Krejci. McAvoy is a top 5 d man. Carlo, Lindholm, gryz, Debrusk all young. Solid goaltending. I don't think they're in that bad of shape.

To be fair any team will regress after the season Boston just had. However Boston does look like a playoff team for the foreseeable future with their core and leadership. I think Bergeron has one more season in him too.
Atlantic is going to be tough. I don't think Tampa is just gonna lay down and let us get in either. Then you also have Buffalo showing a lot of promise with us. Florida is that annoying team that can be unstoppable when hot. Toronto I see being good next year and then cooling off.
Only teams I am comfortable saying the sens are better than is Detroit and MTL. Who the sens were above this year anyways.
Could see the Altantic sending 5 playoff teams next year tbh.
Toronto
Boston
Tampa
Ottawa/Buffalo/Florida will fight for 2 wild cards.
Always nice to see Presidents` Trophy winner and Stanley Cup champion upset in round 1 on the same day.

I don’t like it. Makes the regular season success just a big waste of time. I think they need to implement a play-in tourney and give the top teams a bit more of a leg-up, the current format with more parity is a bit flawed
