Standings- position

[jdh1]

I think if the team prefers one team over another ,it shows a position of weakness and not a confidence to win.

Good thing us fans are stuck here in reality.

Who do you think the Pens would prefer to play? Bruins or Leafs?

Bruins.

Bruins.

Does that choice show a position of weakness and not a confidence to win on the part of the Pens?

I don't really care who we get, but as a fan I think I'd really enjoy a series v Montreal

 

[freer]

I want Boston in the first round.

The Leafs have beaten them once in their last 8 meetings, and they barely hung onto that one. Do you really believe they are going to win 4 of their next 7?

I'm resigned to the fact that they will likely face Boston. I just don't want to see them get embarrassed.

Why would it be embasrrassing for the leafs. All the game this year were close. they are not the same team to be feared this year. any thing is possible.

 

[Derk]

It would be great to see a series against the Habs. For hype and excitement it would be fantastic, and the Leafs would have a shot based on the rivalry alone.

I don't think it should matter...If you want to win the cup,you have to meet your opposition.

I'd be happy with winning a playoff round, so weakest opponent possible please.

Bring on anyone..lets just make it...Bruins, Canadians whatever

This.

I know it's a super short season. But to be this close to making the postseason only to drop out of it at the last second....well...there's only so much we fans can take. Seriously just to make it would be a breakthrough as this team can't look back on one playoff game in the last 9 years.

Damn it...I'm invested in this team again...lol.

[nutman]

Well we got one point, it all adds up. Them games with the Habs could be very big in the hunt for home ice.

 

[Highlander]

Heres to Lupul and his point plus per game returning for the Habs on Saturday

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Boston & Montreal are ruining it tonight.

Oh, and every time we come close to the playoffs the Islanders seemingly can't lose.

 

[AtomicMapleLeaf]

I so much want the Habs, for multiple reasons.  But methinks the Bruins want us after tonight's performance.

I'm still coming to grips with the fact that they're in the playoffs right now. I mean, they're the Islanders, aren't they supposed to be perpetually bad?

Careful what you wish for. I think we'll get a pretty good read on how a Habs-Leafs series could shake down when they meet on Saturday night. The way the Bruins are playing this year, I'm starting to wonder if they would be the weaker playoff opponent.

 

[BermudaBudsFan]

Tonight wasn't a good night to scoreboard watch.  Isles, Jets, Sens all win.  Big game Saturday (I suppose they all are until we're in).
