Kadri has talent - but I have never liked his playing style - lots of cheap shots then hiding when challenged - selfish plays that hurt his team (playoff suspensions being the prime example)

Without regular season games against those teams it is so hard to judge. For what it is worth I think that the Leafs could match up well against Boston, Washington, Pittsburgh, Florida, and maybe even Vegas.
Only a couple of games but from what I have seen so far of Colorado and Tampa Bay I not sure the Leafs have the overall game to handle the Avalanche's skill and team speed or Tampa's talent and experience gained in last year's Cup win.
But who knows maybe this is the Leafs year??
If they get past the 3rd round they only have to get past one of those teams...and that’s if Bos/Wash can get past Pittsburgh.
Also, the more you watch you must realize that Toronto hasn’t played a playoff game...
No, I think Matt cook was much dirtier then kadri.
The hit last night that kadri dished out was no different then when Scott Stevens hit lindros. If your going to cut across the centre of the ice with your head down, you better know you might get knocked the fuck out.
When Stevens hit Eric Lindros, that was a legal, though dangerous, brutal hockey hit.
If you're going to cut across the centre of the ice with your head down, you better know you're susceptible to an illegal, dangerous, dirty hit, and might get knocked out.
There, fixed that for you.
Except that didn't happen...Faulk was not cutting across the ice, he was skating in a straight line and took a drop pass.
What play are you watching?
He wasn't coming across the centre of the ice, he was skating directly towards the net.
Secondly, he didn't have his head down, Kadri actually came up with his shoulder to make contact.
Don't lower yourself with that lame, worn out Habs fan humour, I appreciate your insights otherwise.
I’m thinking the same, I think the North division was overall kind of weak. I give you that it’s difficult to judge because of the bubble, but watching Boston, Washington, Tampa and Vegas, I’m convinced IF the Leafs make it to round three, they will get spanked.
