Mr. Objectivity
No concerns provided they make it in. Very few had the Habs making the playoffs at the beginning of the season. It would be a positive experience for this young team no matter the outcome.

No concerns at all, we the 2025 Eastern Conference Champs. Sadly, Dallas wins the Cup but still, no concerns or complaints here!

1. Competition - Facing the Stars and then the Jets/Blues in the first 2 rounds is insane
2. Depth scoring - This shouldn't be a concern with a potential 3rd line of Colton - Coyle - Landeskog but I'm a pessimist
3. Goaltending - I don't know how I can be concerned after having to watch Georgiev for the last few years but Blackwood has cooled down a little bit and is unproven in the playoffs
#2 and #3 aren't really concerns for me, more if I had to pick something. #1 is a legitimate concern though

Flyers: not uncrapping the bed over the last 5 games, ping pong, and figuring out who to bandwagon, in that order. (Current leaders in the clubhouse there: Capitals, since they're my wife's team, Ottawa, for G and because they've never won, then probably whoever comes out of the Jets/Wild series. I don't believe anyone who can legitimately sneak in would do much to bother that list, but I would be happy to root for Columbus, Calgary, or Utah as well.)

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame...
Devils have to almost plan around J. Hughes being injured every year.

Jack's gotten so much from his mom. Her skating, her face, and her inability to stay healthy.
Leafs. And biggest concern is luck.
The d-core and goaltending is great. The defense can mostly transition really well. The team give up up d-zone possession in exchange for low quality, outside chances. I really do believe they play a grinding style in the offensive zone that will translate to playoff goals - they also play for rebounds and loose pucks in front a lot more than seasons before which is great. It's all worked all season.
It's just puck luck in a 7 game matchup vs Florida or Tampa.
Ottawa will have all the luck in a series.

Getting all our guys back in something resembling health (at least "playoffs health"), hoping they still remember how to play hockey, and that they can somehow manufacture instant chemistry in a middle of the playoffs. If we can make it out of the first round on the road, I think we could potentially go on another run. But that's a bit if...

I miss Logan Thompson even more
For Vegas also this, hopefully we can get some during the day and not during the games.
My biggest concern is familiarizing myself with the roster of the team I’m going to hitch my wagon to this playoffs. Since I have a huge soft spot for the Senators and their fans, I’m rooting for Ottawa.
