"It's too early to say if and when they might be back," head coach Dan Bylsma said. "They are progressing. They are doing better. They are doing more and more off the ice. We'll take every day and hopefully we'll get more healthy. We'd love to insert those guys into the lineup come Game 1 (of the next round)."

Wow, the only thing that would have made that any better is if Halak fills the empty net. Watching coach garden gnome and his band of merry floaters squirm is must see tv.

Also Boston holds on, so one way or another we're at home for round 2.

Go Habs!

So we get either the Bruins or the Canadiens?  Not to be overconfidant, but I'd've taken that in a second at the start of the playoffs.

Still think the Caps blow the doors off in game 7, though.

Yeah we get either the Bruins or Habs, likely the Bruins. I wouldn't call it overconfidence you just recognize we likely drew our best matchup in the 2nd round, at home as the 4 seed.

I could see Rask stealing a game or two but yeah, we're a much better team than Boston. I don't expect Halak to pull out another miracle like that either but it's fun to think about. The Habs would not be able to run 4 defensemen out there the whole game against us like they do the Caps because we, well, forecheck.

Savard cleared for round 2 so we will likely hear about how he is looking for revenge every 5 seconds for the whole series if we end up playing them.


Edit: Also, Poti is out for game 7 for the Caps:

That probably improves their defensive capabilities.

heh, you'd think so. But anything that gives Joe Corvo more ice time can't be a good thing.
