Harpur blows compared to Mikkola. He has no skill. His skating sucks compared to his. Harpur doesn't hit anybody. As Joe said, Mikkola plays better in the playoffs. Mikkola plays an aggressive style. He'll get some penalties. I would think he like most players will be more disciplined in the post season. You're out of your fucking mind thinking the winner of the Canes-Rangers series will come out of the East. For starters, when I see a team in the East actually beat the Lightning, come talk to me. Not to mention the Bruins who are going to be a pain in the ass. A team by the way that bitched slapped the Rangers this season. You people are whacking off after a few games since the trade. The team defense is still atrocious and the team blows on faceoffs overall. They badly need a 4th line center, faceoff stud to even the playing field.
not sure about whacking off, it is a nice run of 6 wins in a row and points in the last 8. in fact we all said how they played shitty against a shitty team.
1. I think the Atlantic is so tough with BOS, Tor, TB those teams will really drain each other. 2. BOS is obviously very good, but I do not think they'll win the cup. I think they really pressed and played at another level the first 1/2 + of the season, and that is not sustainable. 3. I do not think TB makes the SCF's again this season. Those are my takes, and I'll standby Canes/NYR series winner makes the SCF , but a lot can change by the time the playoffs start. This is how I feel today.
The last third of the season becomes very physical. I don't know if the Debs can last, could see them dropping out of the top 3.
