My season starts Saturday at 8.

If the Leaves don't get 1 or 2 I've never watching hockey again. Or participating in this thread. So BL better hope they get 1 or 2 or he's like agent Smith in the matrix. He'll be without a purpose and will have delete his account.

Well, dom...if you are a Belieber, then, conspiracies will happen and Toronna will be gifted the #1 or #2 spot...screwing over Buffalo. I believe the Phoenix Jets are too important of a market for the Count to salvage to screw them out of a top 2 pick.

Watching quest for the cup, they just showed the season series. I forgot the Rangers won & lost in the shootout @ Pit.

This is interesting.

My guess is, Phoenix gets 1 (Count needs to save them) and Buffalo will get 2, which I believe happens automatically if they lose out on 1. Toronto will get 3 and Edmonton 4. No way they can shove yet another top 3 pick in Edmonton. That would be child abuse.

It's more likely that Philly gets the number one pick moving everyone down a notch, Toronto end up drafting Mikko Rantanen, and you have to come to terms with the best player on the leafs being a Finn.

Well, we all put in some fearless predictions for the 1st round. Feel free to put up your predicted bracket if you wish...

Otherwise, it's just more tomato flinging between BL and dom.

I'm just trying to enjoy what we have before it's gone. Saturday night is coming faster than you think and then dom's going to be gone forever like the dodo, the saber tooth tiger and the domesticated moog.

Like I already pointed out Mr. Illogical, after you bake in the currency hair cut, selling his $2 million home in the burbs next to fibs for an equivalent $6 million home next to The Dougler and paying significantly higher taxes to boot, Babs is not getting quite nearly the pay raise you make it out to be.

you don't have to be lonely @domchaonly.com...

Personally, I see Ottawa being the team to beat. They've been playing with house money (and winning) for a month now, then their assistant coach passed away from cancer. They've got everything to play for and have the most important thing in the playoffs, a red hot goaltender who they believe in.

I'll admit I don't think Babs is coming to Toronto. But not because of the $$$. Why would he want any part of this hot mess. There are already too many cooks in the kitchen and they don't even have a GM.

Having said that I'm not convinced he's staying in Detroit either. One things for sure. He'll be sorting through quite a few offers this off season.

Gee, thanks for coming around to what I pointed out a year ago.

He'll create a small bidding war to up the salaries of his fellow coach's, then he'll re-sign year to year for a nice raise in Hockeytown. Why?

Because as he's already said:

1. He's loves it here.
2. He's got a great owner.
3. He's got a great GM.
4. His wife loves it here.
5. He's got some nice talent bubbling up on the farm.
6. He wants to be a part of the Motown rebound.
7. He wants to raise a banner in the new arena.
8. He likes water skiing with fibs up in Northern MI cottage country.
