The lack of respect from NHL circles is hysterical. Biz, who we know is a troll, was openly campaigning for Toronto to fall into a WC for a matchup with us. The crew was talking about East favorites and drooling all over Florida and Carolina. NHL Network was talking about Metro favorites and mentioned Carolina over us.
Lets not forget we are the only team to actually clinch, to be in 1st place since late-October. How are we getting this little respect in comparison to Carolina? To Florida? Florida had a hot run last year. Everyone is drooling this year. Sound familiar? Kind of like, oh I don’t know, us last year? Amazing run the year prior, good team going in, all the pieces. Yawn.
And Carolina? Perpetually failing come playoff time? A favorite over us when they lost 2 of 3 against us and have been playing catch up since October with us? Hysterical.
We’re being disrespected. And I’m gonna love watching all of these assholes eat crow in a few months.
