Get your facts straight and continue to lose to the Leafs in the playoffs.

Better yet get rid of that flower pushing pansy,Denial Afraidsson.

You are really underestimating the Bruins. I just don't get it. No matter how good they play they are considered out first round or two. You say the key is Raycroft?? They are one of the only teams in the East that has goaltending at the back of their minds!! Toronto-Belfour doesn't even practice a lot because his back is so bad, and the injury prone Leafs are making it to the finals?? Second round if their lucky. Sens- Lalime hasn't been as good this year, question mark there. Lightning- inconsistent, has been their weakest point. Flyers- Esche- He is a weird one. Unpredictable. NYI-Shaky goaltending. So, of all the East, 3 teams should have NO problems with goaltending. Boston, Montreal, NJ. Plus, you must forget, Potvin has ALWAYS been a great playoff goalie if Raycroft falters. If you watch this guy play, he has so much composure, and he is so mature. He is built for the playoffs.

I'd just like to know why the Bruins are so underestimated. They have 3 dangerous lines and a 4th line that could contribute. 2 offensive d-men, good stay at home, big men, and 2 solid goalies! What else do people want??

They are 2 points out of first, and people are considering them the 7th best in the conference!!!! Its not just you mikster, its a lot of others. MAKE ME UNDERSTAND!

I am not a leaf fan, at all.

I just think that the Sens need to prove a lot this year in the playoffs. can Alffy motivate his team enough? Will contract negotiations interfere? I am questioning his leadership, not his abilitites on the ice.

The Leafs are an experienced team this yearthey are stronger, better, and i think they will do extremely well. Their weakest point, though, is Belfour's health.

My mistake, I meant Kondratiev. And as for the fattest nation in America?

Well, I think it's clear I should start proofreading what I type...

How can you judge the sens like that?

You don't give a damn aboutt Lalime, because you're just another Leaf fan thinking this is their year! It ain't their year.

How are the Leafs a tough playoff team to beat? They haven't made it to the Cup finals since 1967. God, the Leafs lost to Philly last year, who in turn lost to Ottawa. Basically the Leafs would've lost to Ottawa, but you don't care, cause you're a Leaf fan who thinks this is their year. It ain't their year.

How can you say the Sens don't have the leadership? Alfredsson's a great team leader and captain. He hustles, he gets in there and fights for the puck, he can score, he sets an example. Unlike the Leafs cheap shotting people every game (don't get me wrong- I'll give you examples if you contradict me).

Yes, the Sens have failed to get past round 3, but they're a great team. If you look on paper, they're probably the best team in the league. Tops in scoring (goals), one of the bottom in goals against, 2nd in power play. You name it, the sens are almost always good at it. And plus we stay out of the box. Why don't you say STAY OUT OF THE BOX to your precious leafies?

Get your facts straight. And all you other leaf fans, do the same.

Mikster:

It is said every year and the same thing happens... every year. "This is finally thier year".

Mik, you know as well as anyone that every year is "thier year" but it never turns out to be "their year".

The Devils will beat Philly without Scotty. It's not going to happen. I am confident in them beating any other team in the league without him, just not Philly...

BTW, the Devils now have a better group of forwards than defense wouldn't you say?

I don’t know if you see Senators’ games or not, but Daniel Alfredsson always leads by example. I’m not in the locker room so I can’t comment on what goes on in there, but I do know that Alfredsson is always the hardest working player on the ice. He never takes a shift off and when he is not in the line up it is obvious that something is missing from the team. That is a good indication of how valuable his leadership is. Other guys on the team can take his place on the 1st line who are equally or even more skilled, but they cannot bring the same type of emotion and effort that Alfredsson does.
