To the fans maybe. Not to the person writing the cheques. Improving the team is way down the list of priorities.

He can't avoid spending money though.

He could have fooled me. The only people who can't avoid spending money are the poor bastards who go to the games. Can you get a snack and a drink for under 15 bucks? "Probably not."

Habs win game and series.

Heh. Winner of Bos/Det... have fun with that.

They will get swept by Boston and my guess is one of Pacioretty and Gallagher will not finish the series.

Habs fans saying they always play the bruins well especially in the playoffs. Lol

They could potentially beat Detroit, I guess.

There is no way Detroit beats Boston

Oh, I thought you meant hypothetically.

The Sharks powerplay is ridiculous. Each player keeps the puck for less than a second.

THis is by far the best series.

Yeah, the Sharks are unreal. If I had to put money on a team to win the Cup right now, it'd be the Sharks, hands-down.

I think you may be selling the Habs a little short (yes, pun intended). Look at their head-to-head over the last couple of seasons. There's just something about the way the two teams play that gives Boston fits. Don't forget, also, how Boston was 10 away from being eliminated by the Leafs -- just a year ago. Detroit is playing without Zetterberg, with Datsyuk at 50% and Howard being Howard. Alfredsson is old and has a sore back; Franzen doesn't seem to care much. If Boston rolls over the Wings it's not going to be exactly a great accomplishment.

On the other hand you can look at Boston's history and see that they are always starting slow during in the first round and they roll over the East after that, so...

For Montreal to have a chance against the Bs, Price will have to be incredible, and their D will have to step up huge.

The Habs had it about as easy as you possibly could against the Lightning. Also, Price generally struggles when coming back from a long lay-off, so all their time off waiting for the Bruins might not be a big benefit.

Sharks man. Up 3-0. LA about to be swept out?
