My Red Wings aren't in the poll either, but with 16 teams in the playoffs and only 10 options in a poll, one must sacrifice and make an "Other" option. It's all good.


Also, GO WINGS!

Let's put it this way: regardless of what the rest of the Canadiens do, Carey Price isn't going to lose four games in a row.

:roll:

Clearly you have not met Sens fans. We've been in situations like this before, against A++ Goal tenders. It's may be difficult to get at least 3 goals on Price, but we've done it in the regular season, we've done it in Game 2 and we'll do it again, and again, and again, until we're in round 2.

The Canadiens never lost more than three games in a row this season. Yes, it's technically possible for the Sens to win four in a row, but those odds are vanishingly slim.

It is called "The Whiteout". Obviously you have never been to Winnipeg. It snows ALL THE TIME! Henceforth why Jets fans all wear white. But seriously? That dirtbag Kessler really needs someone to rock his world.

I live in Western Canada, I know winter/snow/damn continental climates. I have seen plenty of hockey games, but never an arena so colour coded. Kudo's to Winnipegers.

Imho the Sens aren't even supposed to be there (and the OP poll seems to agree with me). Sure they had a few good weeks right before the playoffs but their season overall was a big meh. And Nothing really changed since then. They play like a team that has nothing to lose and it shows but they won't go far, especially if they keep taking penalties like they did in game 3.

"Overall season was a big meh"

You clearly have not seen that amazing comeback from the shitpit of the Eastern Conference.

Back in January: 3% of making the playoffs.

We made it. Can it Habs boy and check yourself before you wreck yourself.
