2025 NHL Playoffs

[Deuce22]

Fake toughness by Leafs is pretty funny,

 

[Steppin Razor]

Some of the criticism of Toronto has been unfairly leveled but tonight's performance was an all time turd. What a pathetic showing

 

[Mr Rogers]

Yeah I think the Leafs are done

 

[Big Fat Rebound]

Yeah I think the Leafs are done

Probably for good with this core. Can’t imagine they’d run it back even if they wanted to and the salary cap allowed it, all-time no-show for a team notorious for them

Pronger on this panel is giving me Gandalf having dinner with the Hobbits vibes.

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Marner and Mathews no shows

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Elvis and the pope in the crowd tonight.

 

[Mr Rogers]

I feel like Hertl flies under the radar a bit as a guy who actually just isn’t all that good in the playoffs. Feel like he’s living off one postseason, which was good but not great

 

[Unholy]

Vegas having trouble just getting anything going in OT

 

[Big Fat Rebound]

The most surprising thing about the Oilers in this playoffs is how good Klingberg looks. I thought he was destined for Europe, he’s resurrected himself there

 

[KelVarnsen]

Bye Bye Vegas

 

[Unholy]

Overrr.

Go Dallas for the West? Yuck

 

[Mr Rogers]

Great stuff

 

[ohcomeonref]

Hell yeah

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Got to admit, the way the Oil started against the Kings I’m beyond amazed where they are now. And especially how well Skinner has looked recently.

While Marner and Matthews are part of the problem, I think part of it is distribution of talent. If they had a Marner/Nylander level player on D instead of forward, they probably have more playoff success. You can't have virtually all of your big money players at forward. They need a strong leader too, a guy that can step up during playoffs and lead by example and not just a support player/aging vet that has gone deep in the playoffs before.

The 2nd round pick in the Dumo trade is now officially between 60-63.

Poor guy missed the bag, seemed like a good enough dude here, got us Nesty, and whomever we draft with our 2nd 4th this year. Wish him well.

 

[Static]

Vegas looks cooked. Old legs.

 

[Emerald Duck]

How long before the owner of the Golden Knights decides to blow things up because of a second round exit? Foley doesn't seem to like losing at all and holds little loyalty to his players or management.

 

[JAHV]

And so their watch has ended. Bye, Vegas.

 

[Kalv]

Is that it for Vegas?

 

[AngelDuck]

Stone and Pietrangelo are at the end of their careers and guys like Karlsson/Hertl/etc aren’t young either

Time for Vegas to slip into mediocrity for the next 5 years. Beautiful

 

[The Duck Knight]

There is no blowing it up. The top 4 on D and top 3 forwards all have NTC/NMC's. They're just going to have retool around that the next 2 years. 100% still going to be a playoff team but unless they find some cheap wing scoring in free agency probably not a Cup contender. Once the Petro/Stone deals are off the books coupled with the cap going up it's going to be big game hunting time again.

 

[Dryish]

If there's one thing these playoffs have taught me, it's that the Ducks should stay the hell away from Mitch Marner. Absolute liability come playoff time.
