2025 NHL Playoffs

I can’t get into Carolina… idk what it is.

So I’m hoping for oilers vs Florida or Toronto….

A panthers vs oilers rematch with oilers winning would be a pretty good redemption story for Mcdavid and oilers.

Toronto vs oilers kinda writes itself

For some reason, I've always been bored by Carolina, I don't know why.

I feel the same way and it's not like they play a boring style or anything. Can't really pinpoint it but could be because they don't have any blockbuster type guys

That series is beyond boring, imagine a Kings - Carolina SCF? Damn, they would have people falling asleep by the 2nd period. lol.

Or watching an American Cornhole League tournament on their phones.

There is just something wrong having the acronym ACL associated with tossing beanbags around.

This is where I’m at. 100% rooting for non-traditional markets with the exception of Vegas who can go screw themselves.

Interesting that Freddie for his career has a2.36 gaa and a .916 sv% in the playoffs, both of which are better than in the regular season. I do think he has some rough games over his career, but overall i guess he's been fine to good in the playoffs. I think Freddie has potentially been a little bit too harshly criticised for his postseason play whereas with a guy like Joe Thornton and Matthews even it's probably deserved.

Freddie in the playoffs is nails. Problem is injuries. If he can stay healthy, he might be the best goalie playing right now.

 

[Big Fat Rebound]

Heiskanen activated, could play tonight in Game 4. Enormous boost for Dallas if he's not too rusty.

Looking like that 2nd in the Dumo trade could be in the 60-63 range the way things are going.

I am bothered by them too. For me, it stems from them being gushed over by the media, betting markets and analytics folks. I have always thought their team was massively overrated.

I don’t think anyone is going to stop Dallas this year.

Open season on Hellebuyck high glove. They’re picking it off every time

 

[Rybread86]

I tend to agree but FLA has the skill and physicality to throw them off a bit

 

[2faded]

I don’t think anyone is going to stop Dallas this year.

John

I think Edmonton will

 

[JAHV]

Even when Hellebuyck makes a save, he looks shaky. He's just shook.

 

[Big Fat Rebound]

Mike Sullivan should be starting Oettinger in Italy next year, zero faith in Hellebuyck in big games

 

[JAHV]

And Oettinger is standing on his head.

 

[ADHB]

The Leafs look like the 2023-24 Ducks. Just pure domination by Florida. If not for Woll, they'd be up at least 3-0 or 4-0 by now.

 

[Unholy]

Florida starting to put on a clinic. 4-0

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Go Cats!

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Nothing sweeter than watching the leafs melt down on Sportsnet.

Honestly reading the marner and matthews threads on the leafs boards is pretty enjoyable

They have fans suggesting buying matthews out and starting a smear campaign

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Sweet!!!!!!

 

[Emerald Duck]

Mitch "Big Game" Marner and the rest of the Maple Leafs really showed up tonight in Toronto. 6-0 Florida with 6 mins left in the third.
