Will there be a Cinderella team this year? if so, who?

[PromisedLand]

I wonder how much the refs gonna influence the "cinderella" run if it happens this season

every season in pretty much every series Refs F up big time in critical moments and influence the outcome of the series

I wish they could hold the refs accountable publicly LOL

There are bad calls in every series, but which series was actually determined by the refs?

 

[ole ole]

Why don't you answer the f***ing question

I did answer your question You can't read. It's right there in black and white..

 

[JKG33]

Do you expect them to win?

The Leafs are a paradox when it comes to cinderella. It's absurd to call a 2 seed a cinderella candidate, yet it's equally absurd to expect the Leafs to perform to the standard of a normal 2 seed.

Herb Dean Kerry Fraser fault

I Have a feeling that he last stretch since 4 Nations and ''getting'' in the playoffs as been the Habs actual Cinderella story already.. Everyone is sleeping on Carolina , as if we just expect them to repeat their springs failures I could see Brindamour's Jerks finallly getting their choking out of the system and making a Cinderella kind of run .....

 

[Masked]

Ill go out on a limb. The Leafs.

That'd be more of an ugly stepsister run.

 

[Strangle]

Cinderella team - team not expected to win
Leafs are not near a Cinderella team.

Are the Leafs expected to win? That’s fantastic news!

I agree

Leafs are better than everyone is giving them credit for.

Sheldon Keefe is an abysmal coach for the playoffs.
Berube is a lot better.

Berube is a lot better.

Yes with his *checks notes* two times getting out of the first round in his career. Keefe has half as many round 1 wins in half as many years coached.

Dan Bylsma. Don't need to elaborate.

While I think that the Habs have a Cinderella series in them - 65/35 odds against them, I would say, though that changes based on both teams' goalie and injury situation as Montembeault is one of the most underrated goalies in the league by his own fanbase, whose perceptions have been warped by fifteen years of Price - they lack the quality center depth to do more than that.

The Blues, on the other hand, are a complete team and Ottawa? Ottawa is dang good. Better than the WCII spot would suggest. I could see either of them pulling off some significant upsets.

 

[canuckslover10]

Ima say the Sens if Ullmark can get hot during the playoffs then good luck.

 

[Boxscore]

The Canadiens are my candidate for a "Cinderella run," and the Leafs are my candidate for a "surprise run," as I think this is the season they make it to the Cup Finals... although they let me down every year.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Montreal again

Nvm it’s Columbus

 

[Sensatauro]

A lot of people are picking Dallas. So that makes Colorado a Cinderella candidate.

Imagine you shit on others for having dumb takes, yet you post that Colorado is a Cinderella team despite being 100 point team and a consensus top 5 cup favorite to start year.

Maybe you should stick to your own board eh ..,,,

 

[trellaine201]

I say Ottawa.

Nice to see I got under your skin with such little effort. Bravo. Keep up the good fight.

 

[Captain Controversy]

Oilers with their injuries are a Cinderella team.

 

[shello]

Montreal are a legit Cup contender now with Demidov in the fold.

Damn didn’t know Demidov can play centre or is someone else taking over the #2 black hole of a role?

 

[HockeyWooot]

Sens can probably get to second round, Blues seem primed to go on a run

 

[FMichael]

Brady is gonna lead the Sens to the Eastern Conference Finals…

 

[FMichael]

The way the Canadian sports media talks. The jets are going to be the Cinderella team.
Zero respect

Would luv to see a Sens/Jets for the Cup.
