Nuxfanabroad Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 This team's shown incredible character. With their Swedish stars, they remind a little of our squad. How'bout a Van-Ott final? Would LOVE to see it! Certainly be excellent hockey, as the game's meant to be played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Killer Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 And we sweep them with Luongo getting 4 SO after Schneider gets injured. Then they give us their next four first rounders for Luongo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Burrows 14 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 This is what i said near the beginning of the season! They were rolling without their three top players and now they are coming back for the playoffs. Scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Ive been saying it since mid march. These guys are fantastic... with karlson back they r a huge hugggeee threat. Definitely routing for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lychees Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I know it sounds absurd by Detroit is my dark horse, they just haven't clicked this season and seeing them limp into the playoffs is kind of surreal with the dominance that detroit has pretty much always shown.

Gustavo Fring Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Yes most definitely. I'm a sens fan. Fell in love with them last year. Imo they have the best young defenseman in the league with karlsson and cowen. Cowen with the monster hits and defensive play. Karlsson with the slick offenseive plays. Paul McLean is also the best coach in the nhl in my eyes. I mean how can you still be in playoff contention with all those prolonged injuries to their top guys?

Nuxfanabroad Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 Couple yrs back, this team looked like they might go scorched earth, trade a bunch of $ guys, & rebuild. Their 'tending was shambles; & probably people were wondering if the Heatley fiasco might be the start of team-disintegration. Youtube was invented to reveal Spezza's goofy chuckle, & his drop-passes to the ghost of Howie Morenz. I had them on par with the 'Lames of 2004, staggering towards their subsequent downward spiral... I reflect on all this to emphasize the BEAUTIFUL job Bryan Murray did. If they could illustrate & frame this methodical, meticulous work of art, it'd be hanging in the Met, toot-sweet. I like Gillis, but I think he also has to bow down to Murray's recent performance. He's built a deep, young character squad on a shoestring budget- Shero in Pittsburgh can't say that, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spliced Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I don't see it happening, Ottawa doesn't have the horses up front. Who would you even consider their best forward right now!? Maybe if they had a completely healthy Karlsson & Spezza, but as they are now I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Hopefully they can meet the Bruins in the first round. Anderson will stand on his head; the Bruins have trouble scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conrad@Victoria Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 With Karlsson's return, and possible other stars down the road they have as good or better chance than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Too bad NYR will undoubtedly win the east. I'll be routing for Ottawa as well. Same with the other Canadian teams. Ottawa definitely has it in them to create a huge 1st round upset. Especially if Spezza comes back sometime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 Just saw TSN hilites, & Clowe limped off tonite early in the game. That might hurt their PO chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck or Die Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I'd say Canucks beat the Capitals for the cup in five games. Would be cool if Canucks beat Ottawa for the cup, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
