Barn Burner: Boomer & Pinder with Rhett Warrener - TSN's Jamie McLennan Eastern Conference Playoff Predictions… Do You Agree?? | BB Clips

Starting point is 00:00:01 By the time we talk next week, a series will be underway. We know what's happening in the East. Let's walk through Buffalo, Boston. Thoughts there? Buffalo, for me, it goes either way because this is their first time, right? Like, now you do have some veterans. Guys like Ryan McLeod went to the finals with Edmonton. So he's not going to be overwhelmed.

Starting point is 00:00:23 You know, I'll talk guys like that. But for the most part, like I went through this from a goaltending standpoint. Vasilevsky's on an island. He's played 120 playoff games. You look at some teams, Minnesota's got like 11. Colorado has 11 as well between Blackwood and Wedgwood. Jake Ottinger has, I believe, 38 or something like that. So I went through.

Starting point is 00:00:51 Edmonton has 12 games between Jari and Ingram. I think Carter Hart has 14 games. has 14 games. I think he's the guy in Vegas. So my point being, Alex Lyon, I think has 11. Like he might be the guy for Buffalo. I look at that series and I think Buffalo can do some damage. It just, are they going to be overwhelmed by the playoff situation? Because it's your first kick at the camp or are they just going to seamlessly, hey, we know how to play, we're going to do it. I think that's going to be an unreal series because I don't sleep on Boston. Swayman is it's Raymond's a Vezna finalist for me.

Starting point is 00:01:29 Pastor Nax, a heart finalist for me. And they've got a deeper team than people think. That Fraser Minton's a really good player. You know, geeky's really, you know, found a goal scoring touch. They've got depth. So I think that series is going to be sneaky good. Next one. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:01:46 Montreal Tampa? Montreal Tampa. The only thing I say is on paper, I give Tampa the nod just because of the goalie. If they get healthy, the thing is, are they going to get headman back? He's gone for personal reason. Hagel and Sorrelli just came back off of injury. If they get healthy, I've always said Tampa, I still think is the best team in the East, but it's a giant question mark with health.

Starting point is 00:02:08 And that's going to be for a lot of teams across the board. Montreal, I don't sleep on, but Jacob Dobish has four games of experience. And can he do it? Is Lane Hudson going to be able to hold up against the physical rigors? But I think Nick Suzuki should be a heart finalist. Got 100 points. He's been unbelievable. Coffield with 50.

Starting point is 00:02:28 Demadoff's probably second in voting for the Calder. You know, you look at it, they've got a deep team as well. That's going to be a good series, and I wouldn't sleep on Montreal, but I still lean Tampa. Philly Pittsburgh. Dan the man.

Starting point is 00:02:41 Dan Vladar, like, I mean, he's their MVP. Oh, Dan. Oh, okay. I was going to say, Dan Bladar or Dan? We need your vote. Jesus, Jesus. Dan the man, Vladar, or Dan Mew.

Starting point is 00:02:55 Okay. So Pittsburgh, obviously, you have way more experience. And even Stuart Skinner's played 50 games. So, you know, he's been to finals two years in a row. Needed help, but he's still there. I lean Pittsburgh, but the scary part is, I think Philadelphia feels they're playing with House money. They could be a really scary team because they're going to play hard.

Starting point is 00:03:17 They got skill. You know, the rush in there, Mietchkov, you know, he came in, whatever, overweight or whatever he came in, but he can play. And that Owen Tippett is a, he's, I think he's a handful. He could skate. He's a big, strong body. If Dan the man Vladar, not Dan Muse, holds up, Philadelphia will give Pittsburgh a run, but I still lean Pitt. That'll be awkward because there will be so many people referring to Dan the man in a series.

Starting point is 00:03:44 It's caught on like wildfire. Dang a man muse, yes. Everybody's using Dan the man. Just to give Jack some love, did you see the other day they had a guy with a bald cap on? We were saying, would you have to wear the name tag to tell people who he are? It kind of takes a bit of the fun out of the end. Jamie, who starts a net for Pittsburgh game one? Jack.

Starting point is 00:04:06 Hey, Jack. She loves has been good. Sheelofs has been better. And I think, do I want to say, did Skinner get pulled last night or did he get put in? I just saw that he allowed. I think he got pulled. Yeah. Yeah, I think he, I think.

Starting point is 00:04:18 So that worries me because, but I do think Skinner gets the nod game one. but it might be kind of short leash type of thing like he had in Evanton. And she loves his play too. Remember, he was good in that Euler series. He was great. He was great. He was great. The Ottawa Senators. Carolina Hurricanes. So, you know, I cover Ottawa.

Starting point is 00:04:42 If you lay them on paper, I joke, you know that Spider-Man meme where you got two Spider-Man's pointing at each other? That's the, these two teams mere each other. Now I would ask you this In goal Freddie Anderson's played 80 games Lena Solmark has experience as well So I don't know if that's a wash or not

Starting point is 00:05:04 Because they might go Brandon Bussie I have more starts than him in the playoffs Which is not good But he will get experience But if you did a draft Drafting the top teams If you laid both of those teams side by side Yeah

Starting point is 00:05:19 I would probably argue, and maybe I'm wrong, but the first three picks would be Ottawa senators. I don't know more sense for sure. Yeah, it would be Stutzla into Sanderson, into Kachuk, and then into Ajo, maybe? I don't know. So that's where I think Ottawa might have a slight separating skill, but that's no disrespect to Ajo, Sveschnakov, Stan Kovin, like they're, you know, Taylor Hall, guys like that. But I look at Ottawa as they've got some players who are handfuls. And you got Thomas Shabbat, who is Tony Stark, comes back two weeks after a broken arm. And the guy can play 25 minutes. Like there, Ottawa was a deep team. I just, if they get the

Starting point is 00:06:05 goaltending, I think they could be problems for a lot of people. And Cachuk is good to go. He said he lost vision in his last game. They're probably going to wrestle until game one. The weirdest thing. Like, that was the weirdest injury I've seen. Like, did he get a stick from Barzell or something? He said the stick didn't hit him. He even went out of his way to note it wasn't the stick. So he just lost vision. The only time I've ever seen that is I was at Cowboys on 9th, the old one. I lost vision.

Starting point is 00:06:32 Yeah. Coming out of that building right by the hot dog stand and I had to jump in a rickshaw. The rickshaw took me home. That's the last time that happened to me. Safety first. Yeah. That's what the rickshows are there. Just make sure you're safe. Yeah.
