Which series will be the most physical?

Florida-Tampa and Dallas-Colorado. Honorable mentions to Blues-Jets and Leafs-Sens.

Dallas might be the softest team in the playoffs. Physicality is not in their style of play at all, so I dont see that series being the most physical at all

Oilers and Kings will get ugly is my guess, in the best way possible..

Leafs will get pounded by the Sens, so not really physical. More like one-way abuse.

Who’s going to “pound” the Leafs exactly? Stutzle? lol “one way abuse” ok I know exactly what you’re trying to do lol 😂

Regarding hits, I say Leafs/Sens will lead the charge. Florida and Tampa will also be physical, but I think Tampa has drastically changed its play-style this year from years past. They're not as gritty as they used to be

St.Louis and Winnipeg lowkey could be nasty too. Maybe Oilers and Kings too
 
Oilers-Kings 100%. The Oilers are banged up and the Kings will want revenge after getting spanked in the playoffs by the Oilers. It's now or never for the Kings and they will bring the pain.

Habs and physical do not belong in the same sentence. Did you not see how Ottawa pushed them around last week?

lol, we have 3 guys that can beat up anyone on your roster. Just dressing Arber alone silences the Sens. Oh right, he didn't play that game.

You didn’t live through the Toronto/bruins series thread last year (neither did I, I was thread banned pretty much immediately) or the Toronto panthers from the previous year (I didn’t live through that one either)

Those were pretty heated

Senators fans don’t know how to do this properly yet. I expect they’ll learn quickly. Might get pretty popping when they’re down 2-0 going back for the 3rd leafs home game

I don't usually spend much time on the main boards, and I don't plan to during the actual series.

I've been around for a while though and have seen my fair share of stuff on this forum.

Yeah, the difference is your “toughness” like Xhekaj are AHL guys that can’t play. If they draw into this series vs Capitals, Habs will lose in 3 instead of 4 :laugh:

He got fed by Brady, btw

It's a little bit of a cold war really, but I guess it depends on who is healthy. Kane and Frederic for EDM as well as Edmundson and Jeannot for LA would be spicy throughout most games but not sure who will be in and/or willing to engage. But both sides have the nukes...just doubt LA wants to push the button due to special teams and part of why they lose is that they play chickenshit hockey tiptoeing around the tough stuff because of that.

I think the general play will be relatively tame but always one play away from the whole thing exploding.

Leafs and Sens are both top ten in hits. Leafs also had 13 different players pick up a fighting major this season, and statistically are one of the heaviest teams. I get the soft rep from previous years where Dubas would trade a first for Foligno or sign an over the hill Wayne Simmonds to address 'toughness', but the team is past those days.

Same soft top 4 and soft 1D though.

Sens tougher players are top end. Leafs hitters are bottom 6 guys, except knies

rielly is alot of things, but he isn't soft come playoff time. He takes and gives hits when he's playing in a series.

McCabe is tougher than any sens top 4 dman. Tanev and Carlo can hang with any of the sens top 4 physicality wise

Tkachuk is a monster yea, but Greig, Amadio, Cousins are bottom sixers. Stutlze is marner level soft.

Both teams are pretty physical, and that second statement is just all around false.
 
It's too bad everyone is so banged up.

We could have

Jeannot, Helenius, Malott vs Frederic, Kane, and Perry
