Habs have the best third line in hockey. Deal with it, NHL GAF.
Oh look, Leafs GM saying Price is "one of the best, if not the best goalie in the league", good thing Leaf fans still think he's garbage and Reimer is better.

CBC has a playoff preview show?
I'm looking forward to yelling at PJ Stock.
It's just Cherry developing multiple personality disorder trying to figure out who he should cheer for more, the Bruins or the Leafs.
Would you shut the fuck up.
I'm a Leafs fan and I think Price is better.
edit: I regret making that kind of attack. Damn it. This week is going to break me.
If there was a Leafs/Habs series, I have no doubt there would be plenty of barns being rented out for some of you guys to fight in.
Yes, in 5 minutes. It will also be streamed online at CBC's website.
Cool. glad I get time shift channels otherwise it would still be an hour away.
edit: nice brunette in the front row
Bottle that shit up for the Bruins man, you'll need it. I'm not directing that at you anyways, it's guided towards the troll Leaf fans that only ever come in here to post when Price has a bad game and actually believe Reimer is a better goalie. It's high praise coming from a guy like Nonis who wasn't even asked about it.
Actually the Leafs face the Bruins in the first round. Only one of them can make the SC finals.
*tee hee*
Fair enough. I tend to take attacks on all Leaf fans personally, which is pretty dumb.
There's too many of you guys, you need to thin the herd a bit.
I figured it would be. I'm watching the Bulls and Nets instead.
Any fantasy shit on TV tends to be bad by default, but TSNs is awful

Dat respect (although a vote from PJ Stock don't mean much lol).
ROFL.
Not sure what's funnier, saying Price is the best goalie in the league or taking a Leafs GM opinion on it as a fact.
Goalies that are 100% better then Price? Lunqvist, Quick, Rinne, Tim Thomas and that's it imo. Calling him the best in the league is a stretch, but it's not that ridiculous.
That's fine. Acid is going to stretch you hard... and the sharks are going to beat the canucks.
Here's a list.
Carey Price is on the next page, btw.

Pretty much, I think. Bruce will probably play both though. They've been both strong.

I'd take Anderson or Niemi over Price in a heartbeat.
23 points, 27 points, 19 points
Habs have AGally-Eller-revolving door of Ryder/Gallagher/Prust/Bourque
That'll get you 27 points, 30 points, 35/28/21/13 points (Bourque is low due to injury)
Sorry Heretic. Not to mention that the three guys on the Habs third line are really young and only going to get better and better. AGally is 19, BGally is 20, and Eller is 23. Hnnnnngg.

Some side by side comparison notes for the Sharks/Canucks series.
On offense, we should more or less be evenly matched.
The Canucks should be icing the following:
Sedin-Sedin-Burrows
Higgins-Kesler-Kassian
Raymond-Roy-Hansen
Ebbett-Lapierre-Weise
While the Shark should be icing something like:
Galiardi - Thornton - Burns
Marleau - Couture - Havlat
Torres - Pavelski - Wingels
Desjardins - Gomez - Burish
We're evenly matched up on centers, with three legitimate top-six centers apiece. While Lapierre and Gomez should be evenly matched as 4th line centres.
Wingers are more hit and miss, but more or less, I'd say our top 9 looks fine and the same with the Sharks.
It's when we get to the defense and goaltending, that I think the Canucks have a good edge. Depending on whether or not the Sharks play Burns as a D or Forward, the Canuck's top 4 is a better group with far more offense.
In net, I think Schneider and Luongo are both better goalies than Niemi, but a lot of that also depends on who's going hot at the time.
Overall, I think both teams are fairly evenly matched, but the Canucks should be able to get a lot more offense from their D, which might ultimately seal the series.

If Schneider continues his play next season, I would slot him into the top 5 goalies.
This is essentially how I see it too.

Take Burns out of the D and Sharks have just one real puck-mover in Dan Boyle. That'll severely affect their powerplay and 5on5 offense. Canucks have all 4 guys in their top 4 who can put up points and goals from the back-end.

I'm expecting you to have a 1 gb gif folder ready for the Bruins series :lol
