00:00all right eastern conference dave any resistance montreal washington you think washington takes

00:05care of them no problem it's fantastic that the blue blanc and rouge are back in the playoffs

00:10but uh they win game three no matter what happens mike they are winning game three that might be the

00:17only game they win so gentleman sweep uh the five gamer the gentleman sweep we think i'm with you i

00:23think gentleman sweep for washington as well in that one a lot of people have basically called

00:28new jersey and carolina over no point in playing uh carolina's already won the series you believe

00:33that it's hard to argue um as beat up and stuff as the devils are i really don't feel like they're

00:40going to provide much resistance and i know some guys who took a position with carolina weeks ago

00:48based on this being the first round matchup we know this matchup has been set for what seems like a

00:53month and um yeah it it feels like this is going to be a short series easy one for carolina

00:59toronto gets the top slot in the atlantic imperative for them they now play ottawa in the first round

01:07they avoid tampa and florida and if they get to play them in a second they'd have home ice they're

01:12minus 184 i actually think they should be big they should be two bills dave in this series but they're

01:18not because they're toronto with their past history yep i think that they'll probably make

01:24it hard on themselves for a couple games it'll take six but i think they'll get it done

01:28toronto's got to be so happy that boston's not in the playoffs to beat them because that seems like

01:34what happens right and now florida and tampa have to play each other and not toronto in the first round

01:41i'm falling for it again i'm falling for it again i think toronto has every opportunity to be at

01:48eastern conference finals i think this is sets up perfect now there's a kachuk on ottawa i don't

01:55know what he's going to do they're not even in the first five of winning the east i don't think they

02:00can win the east but they can make this series difficult i still think toronto wins i i think

02:06toronto wins too i know that it's it's fun to you know go after the leaves and but like we were

02:12saying with vegas like there's a really good path uh for toronto to possibly finally break this and get

02:18back to the stanley cup final i love the tampa bay florida series i think it's the best eastern

02:23conference series obviously in the first round two more teams that hate each other they play every

02:27year in the playoffs florida has had this great run and you know what dave it's over i think tampa's

02:33going to take care of florida knock them out it's ironic we saw this a couple years ago when tampa had

02:40the run right they play a lot of hockey in a couple years and it finally catches up when they have to

02:45play that nasty physical rival who knows exactly what they're going to do i think it may just be a

02:52battle of attrition and and tampa's withstands it i don't know what's going to happen honestly i don't

02:59have a strong opinion sidewise i just feel like most of the games in this series are going to go over

03:03because we're going to see power plays penalties all kind of stuff happening stay on the edge of

03:09your seat there'll be a lot of in-game opportunities it'll be great seven games uh for me here seven

03:15games and seven games and six games have the same number plus 190 they're both plus 190 six and seven

03:21games fair in this series that because if tampa gets one on the road they can win the series

03:27at home uh in game six so i would absolutely agree with that price it's either six or seven

03:34i don't think there's a chance in hell it's four or five uh who do you like coming out of the east

03:39toronto as of right now i think it's i think it is toronto and i want to believe it's washington

03:46but all everybody tells me no um and in the west it's vegas and no vegas survived yeah toronto vegas

03:55maybe stanley cup final wow people would get excited about that

03:58you
