GDT: 2025 Playoffs - First Round

[Big L]

MTL gonna play defense tonight, or just let Washington players roam free in front of their own net?

 

[MJF]

The 2nd period has been all Capitals. They’re hanging on by their fingernails.

 

[Big L]

What’s the Landeskog back story here? Hasn’t played in 3 years?

 

[Bones45]

Oil better fire this shit up tonight. Get these ass clowns out.

 

[Bones45]

The harmonica playing of anthem in LA?

f***ing awful. Appropriate tho.

Yeah, I don't think he's played since winning the cup. He had a major injury and it was uncertain if he'd ever come back.

 

[Zeeker]

It sucks that all the interesting games are on so late.

 

[BMOK33]

Is it a prerequisite that Brock be involved in playoff games where a team takes a double minor in the last 30 seconds

 

[Throttle]

Bye bye EDM.

 

[Throttle]

Toews gets bumped and burned. Game over.

 

[BMOK33]

Bye bye EDM.

LA much like CAR sucks on the road. I'd be surprised if that series was not 2-2 back in LA but still like LA to win it

 

[Big L]

Which team down 0-2 has the best chance to come back and win the series?

St Louis? Edmonton? Ottawa? Montreal? Jersey?

Conversely, which team is most likely to get swept?

I’d say maybe STL or MTL best chance, though slim, to come back. Jersey will get swept.

Edmonton and Montreal. The Kings are a different team away from home and I never write off Connor McDavid from carrying his team for a few games or Draisaitl getting hot.

For the Canadiens, except for 2 bad periods they’ve played the Capitals fairly even.

I'd say that St. Louis or Edmonton for the comeback, but realistically I only see St. Louis being able to do it because I think that series is much tighter. Edmonton is very banged up, is playing horribly, and their goaltending is questionable. They have two of the best players on the planet though so there's always a chance.

Ottawa falls into both categories for me, but they can only come back if Toronto has an epic meltdown of their own doing (unlikely to happen for me, but we've seen it before). Ultimately I think they and New Jersey get swept.

FWIW, goals scored by losing teams in playoff games thus far:

3-1-1-2-2-2-1-3-5-1-2-2-2-1-1-2

Average goals given up by the winners = 1.9.

Defense wins championships?

Trying to win by outscoring your mistakes is a losing proposition
