2025 NHL Playoff Thread (Non-Panthers)

[Dread Clawz]

I wonder if Vegas will finally understand that they need to play McJeez and Drei hard and shadow them. Do everything to limit them. Without them the Oilers are Anaheim. Of course, the other Oilers will run picks to free them up, but the teams should be good enough to switch coverage. Vegas didn’t do a good job of it yesterday.

Vegas has to change up their d zone coverage. Our hybrid man to man coverage really helped limit McDrai last spring.

Rantanen too good

 

[austropanther]

Pretty awesome that DAL was rolling an all-Finnish forward line with Rantanen-Granlund-Hintz

Coach Q to the ducks?

Coach Q to the ducks?

No offense to Ducks fans, but Q must be DESPERATE to get back in the league, I cannot imagine a scenario he remains employed through their endless rebuild.

I like the Ducks TBH. They have a bunch of young talent and Dostal is underrated. Think they were held back by Cronin who for whatever reason wanted them to be a defense first team. You heard it here first, the guy who's called Dallas as Cup champs the past 3 years is saying the Ducks will make the playoffs next year.

So you are jinxing them? Because you haven't been right yet, lol, maybe this year?

Vegas playing PK well, stopping Drai from the low angle and McJ from dangling thru the crowd.

Wash PK let Carolina waltz in unmolested, I wish we were allowed to get set up in the zone like that.

But Carolina just passes the puck around endlessly so Washington doesn’t get penalized very often, just once so far, and that was a lucky rebound.

The Ducks were my original favorite team until I was 20 so I'll always have a soft spot for them.

If the Panthers don't make it then ill be on board for a Carolina/Washington hybrid vs Dallas. However my want record is dog poo so it'll probably be Toronto-Edmonton. Our sunbelt minds will collectively explode.

I hope winnepeg gets nuked off the map

they are my favorite this year to win it all.

Would be sort of fitting too knowing Maurice and PDB history together and both have been considered good coaches without a championship-till Maurice won last year.

Just keep the Cowboys players away so they don't make the Stars choke.

Better than our new goal song tbh

Edmonton getting a free ride to the WCF vs LA (lol) and the desiccated husk of Vegas makes them the easy favorites out of the west, IMO. If Dallas gets through Colorado and then Winnipeg, they deserve the damn Cup.

LA and Vegas are both good teams. lol

Honestly that coaches decision killed LA.

So much luck involved in the playoffs.

LA and Vegas are better than Ottawa, Montreal, Minnesota, and New Jersey this playoffs.

Making LA and Vegas sound like they are cannon fodder is ridiculous.

LA throws hard vs Edmonton and it was BRUTAL this time. Hiller should be fired... into the sun.

Vegas just looks tired and tapped out.

Mangiapane is a gamer. Would love to have him on the Panthers.

LA is a good team but they’re not great. you lose four times in a row to the same team then it’s hard to call them anything but simply a good team.

Adin Hill vs the Panthers in the 2023 SCF: Hasek Jr.

Adin Hill since then: Auld Jr.
