I think Ray will protect our finesse players, as well as keeping some of our grittier, yet vital players (i.e. Chara) from breaking their hands on someone's forehead.

I think the leafs have done the best this trading year, but the addition of Amonte to pretty good Flyer team could prove hard on the Leafs in the first round. I still say leafs in 5 however. But they'll be five good games.

One of my favourite hockey bits was a game in Chicago. Steve Sullivan was hit and cut over the eye. A fan in one of the front rows gave him the business, pointing to his eyebrow and saying "you're cut!" with great glee. Later in the game, a puck cleared the glass and drilled the same fan over the eye. Sullivan skated over and pointed to his own eybrow and said "You're cut!" right back to him. Absolutely classic.
