Ottawa does have a fast and highly skilled young team, but players such as Marian Hossa, Todd White, and especially Patrick Lalime have yet to prove themelves as true post-season players. Yes, Ottawa added some toughness by signing Rob Ray and Vaclav Varada at the deadline, but Toronto easily counters that with Owen Nolan and Glen Wesley (don't forget Darcy Tucker either).
For the last 3 years, Toronto has had Ottawa's number and I believe they will again if they meet in the post-season. This is probably the best team Toronto has put together since '67 and will be a force to reckon with in the East. You watch for #93.
