I was admittedly cheering for the caps, a few players I like on the team (Ovie, Duhaime, Thompson, Mange). I used to like Oshie, but he has revealed himself as a friend of Trump so he can get bent.
They are a hilarious team before games on social media- really fun. But they are ripe to fall. Looking like paper tigers in the playoffs so far.
I'm completely meh on Carolina. Always competitive and higher in the standings, just can't seem to go far in the post-season. I just don't see them as being better than the western conference heavyweights.
Lots of offensive talent and hard workers, but I don't trust their goaltending and their defense doesn't stand out. Though to be fair I don't watch a lot of Carolina during the year.
I think the winner of Leafs/FLA would beat either of these teams.
