2025 NHL Playoffs

Leo can at least hit pretty good in big moments, he has done it in the pros even before draft. Sennecke is a bit nastuly with his hits. Cutter and MacT while not a phydical force, the can stand their ground. Stian is a menace. We're building at least a somewhat physical team. I am sure Pat will find new Gudas and Troubas along the way.

None of those players make small players feel safer or play bigger. These players need protection themselves. The team drastically needs tougher physical top 9 forwards

Carolina is the canary in the coal mine for having too much soft talent and not enough physicality. It works in the 1st and maybe 2nd round but it gets totally exposed in the CF and SCF.

Bouchard!

Bouchard!

One of the best in the business

 

[AngelDuck]

This oilers team is just too talented

 

[GunnarStahl]

Kind of a crock of shit handed to Dallas. Blatant missed call followed immediately by two goals.

 

[ohcomeonref]

Very clearly not a penalty watching the replay, probably nothing the refs can do though.

 

[Static]

Edmonton/Florida rematch is looking very likely. I can't wait to watch that bloodbath again.

 

[2faded]

Kind of stupid that the ref is not allowed to just look up at the screen and be like "oh yea that wasn't a high stick" and reverse it.

Sorry I was wrong and I know I was wrong but the rules say I can't change it.

I guess. They’re also just not on the same level as Edmonton in this series.

I thought they were lucky to get by Colorado and Winnipeg too

[ff8]

Suck it Jamie Benn

 

[HanSolo]

Stars are f***ing useless lmao

 

[JAHV]

I have no desire to see Florida again, but at least it looks like I won't have to suffer through Dallas.

Very much disagree. Edmonton is subject to the whims of what Skinner they get game in and game out.

 

[GunnarStahl]

Ref job continues... This game gets played again and the refs do there job Dallas wins 95% of the time.

It's possible we're watching different games

 

[Mr Rogers]

Edmonton has looked like the better team by a bit if you ask me

This would be a sweep if Skinner didn't absolutely shit the bed in game 1.

I'm not a moneypuck guy really but the expected goal percentage alleges Dallas wins this game 65 percent of the time. That's including the fact that the last 10 minutes were won out by EDM. Maybe my statement is a bit hyperbolic but there is truth to it.

I would say Dallas took it to Edmonton for 1 period or so, I just disagree that the Stars got ref-jobbed.

The 4 minute high stick minor was missed on Bennett, the 2 minute pack over glass was missed, followed by 2 EDM goals immediately. EDM missed out on a PP for having Frederic drilled into the net. So a bit of discrepancy there.

I would agree Dallas was only truly dominant for 1 period, unfortunately the pucks did not bounce their way though. I would probably take down my original point and correct it to Dallas wins 65% of the time similar to money puck.

 

[Terry Yake]

stars aren't as good as everyone thought. it took rantanen going god mode to beat the avs and they didn't even beat the jets convincingly

I think it's more Avs aren't as good as everyone thought. No Heiskanen or Robertson should be an easy win for a real contender.

Edmonton also served a penalty for Rantanen hitting himself in the face with his stick.
