Yup, if they don't fall apart next period it may bode well for the rest of the series.

I was struck by how Florida looked panicked the last several minutes of the second.

[Wyldnwoody44]

Toronto may actually win it all this year

 

Sad

The third has been all Florida so far.

Maybe I shouldn't post pro-Florida thoughts? Geez.

By sheer chance they have to make a run with that line up eventually.

Once again, the third period doesn't disappoint. 

TO seems to have developed some of that "it" factor.

The blondes behind Maurice look so Toronto.

Behind the Florida bench.

It just feels like Toronto is going to finally win the cup this year. They look like a complete team.

[Gatorman0519]

Toronto only has to split in Florida and this is over. Toronto finally might be putting together a cup run. 

[thewookie1]

Toronto only deserves disappointment, they deserve inexplicable injuries and choke jobs and nothing else.

Yes, that's my impression. Their ability to defend has caught up enough with their offensive skill that they are definitely dangerous.

Which one could you stomach getting it done of those four?

I think I’d be okay with the Oilers and then the Jets. Then the leafs. Then the former whalers / ‘06 champions of luck

Only the Hurricanes; in order to prevent Canada from getting another W this year.

Of the Canadian teams however  Jets, Oilers................. Armageddon ............. the Rapture............... Leafs

[OverPowerYou]

I still don’t know why everyone wastes their hate on the hurricanes. It’s not the hurricanes fault that the Sabres were injured in 06

Rantanen making Colorado look DUMB

Watching the games last night and two things occurred to me. 

1. As you note, I think the Leafs are certainly the most complete team in the East. Maybe in the league. They could win it all.

2.  Of the goalies left, Oettinger is the best and I don’t think it is close. So I like Dallas’s chances. 

This should doom the Leafs and Stars.

Also, a side note on Dallas. I’m watching them close out games with Cody Ceci on the ice (he played the last 3 minutes v. Colorado in game 7) and I’m thinking he would be a great partner for Power or Byram on our 2nd pair. He was available for a song last off-season. He is a UFA July 1. Of course, other teams will notice this.
