2025 NHL Playoffs

For a franchise that if I’m being honest hasn’t had a dyed in the wool 1C for its entire existence, it’s pretty crazy how respectable and competitive Minnesota has been.

I NEED Ottawa to win these home games, the Leafs melting down in the playoffs is like an annual Holiday for me.

Yeah. I always look forward to the celebration when Phil rolls out the trophy.

They've come along way since that 07 era Wild trap Teams that had to win every game 1-0 or 2-1.
Andy Mac and his hat trick vs Backstrom.
Getting a 1C didn't work out but they picked the best player available regardless of position in Boldy, Rossi and Buium at their draft positions. What is crazy is we have yet to see what impact Yurov, Ritchie, Lambos, Ohgren, Wallstedt and Buium will have for them.

People mention Demidov, and rightfully so, but Buium could be one that hurts as well. Sennecke has to hit

Batherson has to be one of the laziest players I've seen. He puts up some decent offense, but that defensive effort is completely lacking. The entire reason Ottawa lost in OT to the Leafs.

I also think the worse the Leafs melt down, the higher our odds of landing Marner

he is a little like Spezza who incidentally also wore #19 for the Sens and was a RH centre, except he is not as brilliant offensively.

What a crazy save by Thompson

Never mind, the post is better. Didn't even make any noise

 

[Big Fat Rebound]

I cannot believe the Oilers are actually starting Stuart Skinner again. Gibby gets free advertising in Edmonton while sitting on the couch doing nothing.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Way to go Caps!

 

[mightyquack]

Not a Landeskog fan at all, but what a story him coming back after three seasons injured. Could very easily have just ridden into the sunset with his last moment as an NHL player being lifting the cup.

That's just pure love for the game.

Some good goalie performances in that Habs v Caps game. Also did Marty bench Laine?

Injured in the second period apparently
