Don't see how Boston will be a lot worse next year though. Up to us to get better and take it away from them.

Yeah, until a couple of Bergeron, Marchand & Krejci start experiencing a significant downturn in their play, they'll continue to be one of the best teams in the league.

Though one thing we can hope for is a bit of "Stanley Cup hangover" in the regular season.

If we're going to play them in the first round again, it'd be nice if we could at least have home ice.

Or just let the Habs take them out.

That would be like me letting Rebel Wilson take me out. Fat chance I allow that. Emphasis on the fat.

With the Blues win, the Leafs now possess the longest Stanley Cup Drought.

Yep, true.

Having company didn't make it any better. Not having company doesn't make it any worse.

I don't get this one.

The Flyers trade the better defenseman with the better contract...and also eat salary?

Niskanen is way better than gudas.

Niskanen was the caps real #1D in their cup run.

He must have fallen off big-time this year for them to make this trade.

I know Niskanen was really damn good, but I thought I heard his play had fallen off quite a bit.

Isles are just signing guys to big money who won't repeat what they did last year.

We have a parade on Monday. Has the tulip festival ended in Ottawa yet?

Eberle didn’t crack 40 points last year, absolutely crazy deal and a buyout candidate likely in a few years

That's what Lou does not get. He gives big $ to supporting guys. All of us have said on here for years pay your top stars and cheap-out on the supporting cast. Dubas gets it.

11.5 million for Nelson and Eberle till their mid 30's.

let's see what happens when they, gasp, don't get .930 goaltending next year.

That team on paper is shit. NO chance they repeat that. #1 choice for a massive nose-dive in the standings and they'll have overpaid shit they can't move.

If there's one team I'd like 4 picks from for that fantasy Marner offersheet it's them.
