With players like Boyle, Powe, and Asham they got the grit needed in the playoffs. If they can keep their defense healthy they will be contenders easily. I like their chances a lot more than Montreals.
asham and powe are done. They have no Prust or Moen there. You're remembering players who were good five years ago, not players who are good now. The only teams in the east that can match the Habs are Boston and Pittsburgh. Maybe the Devils could upset too cause Brodeur. Lundqvist has like a .700 SV% history at the Bell Centre. If Boston and Pittsburgh can get knocked out first or second round somehow Habs are the clear favourites to go to the finals out of the east.
