2025 NHL Playoff Thread (Non-Panthers)

[austropanther]

I have no faith in the Stars. I know it's easy to say that after one game, but that team has serious weaknesses at the blueline (see: Petrovic, Alex) and their forward corps is overrated.

Then again, I think Winnipeg is a fraud team, too. Edmonton / Vegas / Colorado out of the west, IMO.

I was worried about the Avs the day they traded for Blackwood, giving them a goalie who can play lights out and is better than anybody they had over the last 5 years, even as Kuemper who they won the cup with

By the way, this is why we're incredibly screwed if we lose one D. You can't survive having a completely out of his depth defenseman giving up gimme goals in the playoffs. Honestly, I don't think we have any good options at 6D. Kulikov is going to have to be an absolute magician with Schmidt or whoever.

I cannot wait for the meltdown when the Leafs lose tonight.

I thought Maurice would play Megna, which I would be fine with. Although, Schmidt and Balinskis is just as good a pair as Lilleberg and Perbix, if not better.

Turns out the missing piece for the Leafs all these years was *checks notes* Anthony Stolarz

Stolarz replacing Gilmore in Leafs lore is an incredible come up

Nothing beats a Panther win BUT a Leaf loss is a close second.
