Habs are gonna win the cup this year I feel it.

They'll need to likely get past The Lightning and/or the Leafs to get there. So far with us Leafs, you contended, but haven't beat us yet this year, and you also have yet to beat the Lightning. Even considering Boston, you split the season series with them. So, I think you guys, while not impossible, the Atlantic alone is a tough as hell division to get out of and if you do survive, or even us, it'll be a matter of whether or not you'd have enough left in the tank to get through the conference finals and the cup finals.

Mitch Marner, such a classy guy.

I still have hopes! ...But seriously I know you're right, I just wish they could stop losing. :disapprove:

Look, some Mike Babsocks.

LOOK AT THOSE BUNCH OF JERKS!

I don’t think the LA Kings are going to make the playoffs

Seth Rollins BURN IT DOWN theme played during the last Canadiens game, I have to admit I marked out.

And I know the Canadiens often do the "Ole" chant which in wrestling is associated with the late-great El Generico and I think the Sens once played the theme for Adam Rose for Powerplays.

Then, of course, there's...



Which is:

So weirdly, hockey and wrestling seem to go together...

Well The Canadiens probably won't even make it...

In the Wild Card spot it is them fighting with The Bunch Of Jerks who do Fun Celebrations, and the only team from Ohio doing half decent. The way I see it is that you have a 2 in 3 chance to make it. It's how they do in this final stretch of the season that'll make a difference. But upon making it they will likely face either the Tampa Bay Lightning which has been so dominant that 2009 John Cena would blush, or the defending Stanley Cup champs (or maybe the Islanders if they catch up). Don't count them out yet, but I don't envy your feeling considering in the years after the 2004 Lockout for the Leafs it was a constant tale of us just not making the playoffs or outright sucking.

Also my favs to win other than the Leafs:

Tampa Bay
Calgary
Winnipeg
San Jose

 

[Rosie]

The Leafs... WIN THE FIRST GAME IN A SERIES AGAINST BOSTON ON THE ROAD?!

 

[Kasumi]

Go Caps!

This guy matches my exact reaction from Game 2.

How are the playoffs? Haven't been keeping up since the Habs bailed at the last second.
