They need to fix their defense so fucking bad this summer. Dump everyone not named Dermott or Rielly .

You gotta look at it in a positive light; this time two years ago you weren’t even making the playoffs. Who knows what two years in the future holds!

That's tough for Toronto. They need to, and likely will, make a lot of changes to their defense. This is a team that's close. The problem with them being close is they're going to be going up against Tampa Bay and Boston in the first 2 rounds for the foreseeable future.

Losing first round in the playoffs.

That third period was hard to watch. It was if Boston flipped a switch, and suddenly the Leafs were just not able to get any sort of attack going.

Wow the Caps are sure Capsing this 3rd period.

I'm worried actually. The usually win Game 1 and then we take them out from there. What happens when they lose Game 1?

Prolly just a sweep.

I'd be super okay with that. I feel like it's going to end up with another Tampa/Penguins semis. I'd love to see Vegas/Winnipeg on the other side but I figure it'll be Vegas/Preds.

So this Vegas team is for real. They blitzed San Jose in the first game of their series, scoring more goals in one game than the Sharks allowed in the first round. Now that the Leafs are gone, I'm really hoping for a Vegas/Pittsburgh Cup Final.

[Ruki]

Vegas is going to win the cup. And that's silly and dumb and I love it. 

[Toe]

Of the remaining teams, I want to Finals to be Washington vs. Nashville.

If it is Vegas and Pittsburgh, what a great finale. Not only for the Fleury vs Penguins story, but (one of) the most dominate franchise of the past 10 years versus the team in their debut year. My money would be on the Penguins.
