Tough team, and the opening series, which at this point looks to be against Ottawa could be a bloodbath. The teams hate each other, and they've both aquired a lot of gritty players. The winner of this series has a shot at going a long way, or of being so beat up they fold. UPDATE: Having disposed of the defending champions with surprising ease in the first round look well poised to thump the daylights out of the aged Maple Leafs. With Ottawa gone, a strong contender for the final.
