[PST] Playoff series thread: Washington (1st Metro) vs Toronto(2nd wildcard) Wash 3-2

[savemedrzaius]

I'm surprised so many people on here think the Leafs have a chance.

I think they will be lucky to win 2 games, but if Kadri and Komarov can shutdown Ovie's line and Andersen and Zaitsev are okay to play in the series the Leafs might have a small chance of winning the series in seven.

Here are Oveckin's numbers versus the Leafs: 42GP-33G-27A

He loves playing the Leafs and really loves playing in Toronto. Seems like when ever he plays in the ACC he always puts up a few points.

Caps in 4. Not even close

[killer_carlson]

I want the Caps to utterly destroy the Leafs out there. Once the Leafs are out of the playoffs, there is some hope the rest of the nation's teams will get some media coverage.

Yeah but some said 7 games..hence have a chance. With the Leafs hate on this board I was surprised.

Literally two people have said caps in 7. The rest have said 4 or 5. The Leafs hate is well deserved.

Given the Cubs and Cavs have won their respective championships, I would say that the Caps are going to win the Stanley Cup this year (or the Leafs).

Not likely to happen, but if the Leafs do win one of the first two playoff games in Washington, the Toronto fans and media will lose their minds!

[Hockeyguy15]

Ahhh wrong thread.

Leafs in 6.

I can dream...

[spuzzum]

The Leafs winning would be a massive upset, much greater than previous 8 vs 1 seed defeats. Even further, the depth and D of the Leafs is banged up'd thanks to the last game. I love calling upsets, but not here. Caps in 5.

I already called it

Sergio adds to the recent drought breaking. Also, the Atlanta Falcons were so close.

Hope they get swept and get dominated. Toronto media is worse than Edmonton.
