NHL 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs

WOW...just looked at the main board and some of the Leaf fans are a bit over the top. I get they are probably the favorites but their over confidence may piss off the hockey gods.

GO SENS AND LINUS!

Would love for Linus and the Sens to knock off the smug leafs. Get the habs, leafs and oilers gone on the first round and I am happy.

 

[Olden McGroin]

What happens if this year they lose in round one….again? We know that Marner and Tavares won’t be back (money)….but they won’t fire Berube and what’s left to change? I think they beat Ottawa but do hope the Sens become the new ‘Bruins’ that knock them out in seven games…..

In OT of Game 7 after the Leafs were up 3 goals in the third

Go NJ!

 

[Ladyfan]

Yikes...embellish the anthem much..

 

[Shaun]

i’m still upset we traded hall and kept half the losers on the roster

 

[Clode]

Canes and Devils are on completely different planets

 

[PB37]

Carolina making it look easy so far.

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

Ottawa getting their chances early but of course TO scores first

 

[CrownofThornton]

Really not liking Ullmark’s game so far.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

I wish it weren't so, but Ullmark is looking very shaky so far. Beaten by 2 good shots, to be fair, but with his playoff history, bad signs.

 

[McBrom7]

Huge goal by future Boston Bruin Mitch Marner

Playoff Ullmark in full effect rn. 2 goals on 3 shots

 

[CDJ]

Playoff Linus I fear

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

Playoff Linus I fear

Hope not. Ottawa playing well. TO has 2 goals on 3 shots……barf

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Looks familiar

In a playoff series, you want a save on that OEL goal. I know he’s coming right down the slot, but need a save.

Horrible lapse in defensive coverage as well though.

The “almost” Toronto goal was pretty bad positioning by Ullmark.

I just don’t know that he’s a playoff goalie.

I never blame goalies for getting beaten from the low slot, as long as the shot is decent, because they have so little time to react and the shooter has a lot of net to work with. But I think overall Linus has looked tentative. Way too passive on Marner's breakaway, basically let Mitch walk in and pick his spot unchallenged. Sometimes the shooter is just too good, but here Ullmark made it easy for him IMO.

It was. Early jitters maybe. We know his history. Hopefully for the Sens' sake he can settle.

Yeah I just think OEL’s shot was savable.

Kind of a weird period. Senators had way more shots but I felt like Toronto was in the driver seat most of that period.

We’ll see how Ullmark plays out the series. He doesn’t pass the playoff smell test for me so far though. I really wish he just disclosed he had the groin injury in that damn Florida series.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Notable that the Sens goal came after Carlo got too easily stripped of the puck along the boards. Ex-Bruins both staying true to type tonight.

Yeah I just don’t think OEL’s shot was unsavable.

Oh it was savable, for sure, but to me it's one of those ones where if the goalie does get beat, you just write it off and say tough luck, good shot.

Early days, but perhaps we will see Forsberg at some point. He is a decent enough backup to at least consider as an option.

Ottawa is going to discover that Ullmark does not have the extra gear that is required for playoff hockey. We experienced 3 years of it and it’s not pretty

 

[mar2kbos]

Ullmark has look skittish and just plain bad. That rebound was terrible

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

Game management strikes again in Toronto

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

It's extra cringe in Toronto this post season
