Ballard or Ryle?

[ColonelMike]

Seems like the thread is taking a different tangent...I didn't look at the question as who had the easiest PATH to a deep playoff run...would probably agree that Male has that. I thought we were just saying who had the best chance to knock X or T - the 1-2 favorites - out. Still think that's Ballard, but it will be quite a feat for the Bruins to knock the two off in back-to-back weeks if that occurs... but isn't that what the teams play for? The chance to play and beat the best...
