Well, that's why it's an early prediction. Hey, I was rooting for Carolina on the East last year just because they were the underdog and they made it all the way to the Finals! Ottawa is strong now, but I don't see them making it all the way to the Finals.

If Ottawa can avoid toronto, they should take the east...their style is succesful vs philly & nj.
They should shutout the isles, all the stats are in their favour - one more so than anyother - a 21-2-7 record vs the isles in their last 30 games.
The west is a lot less predictable...but my tentative prediction is dal-colorado in the final.

Actually I hope that Ottawa and TO meet up again... with the usual response..... one of the guys in the house is a die hard Sens fan.... he will walk around in a Sens hat and jersey everytime they play the Leafs.... god he even does this at some of the local watering holes (like the Brunny).... I hate to say it but I love to see him crying in his beer :)

I Live in Ottawa and i walk around with my Leafs Jersey and Hat all the time---Especially in the playoffs---There is no better feeling then walking down Elgin street after Game 7 when the Leafs have taken the series, covered in the Blue and White.

yeah, well i work on elgin...but i won't bother bringing a carton of eggs this year because the leafs are going nowhere. Yes, that is correct, out in the first round and unabrow quinn will be out begging on younge street.

Dallas lost http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmili...ty/yelclap.gif

First of all it's YONGE street, not YOUNGE street.

Secondly, I'm pretty sure the Leafs won tonight. And....doggonit, I can't remember how the Sens did tonight. Can you remind me???

I'd send my condolences but I'm too busy celebrating down here.... :D

One win, or loss, this early in the game does not a playoff champion make.

I'm sure someone will send the Leafs a postcard from the Cup Finals :cool:

Hey! You should be on my side! If for no other reason than we share the same first name! We Leslies have to stick together!

Besides, the Leafs ARE going to win.

Hey, come playoff time, I only stick with die-hard Wings fans. ;)
Wings are going to repeat; Leafs will have to deal with another disappointemnt...it's something their good at.

:mad: :mad: holding in rage :mad: :mad: (ready to riot)

(haven't felt this rage in awhile)

game one over. life goes on. gotta take game two.

NA NA NA NA NA NA

I just came from drinking a whole bumch of beer at Maclearns...goddamn was it a good time.[ The leafs Won--Whoo hoo---i hjave been there before---not to much excitment---we wait till game two!!

as for the sens--they played like shit, and nobody can deny it (not even you CC1GC) they brought there game out to fuck with Yashin, but not to fuck with the Islanders! hopefully they have learned!

the best part is this is the greatest Hockey of the Year!!!!!

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
goddamn i hate the leafs soo much.
I was at the duke...then social, zaphods & ending at minglewoods.

You and every otrher Senz fan....Whatever---it's the first gaem

Yeah first blood drawn, but probably not last by any measure

I still look forward to a leafs Sens eastern final!

(stop by Maclearns next time--actually in a week (i am in TO for a few days) it's a pretty good scene there)

been to mclarens a few times, they got 21 screens right...?
