Around the League - 2024-2025 Part II

[torontoblood]

I just noticed that the three teams in the second round of the playoffs with more points than the Leafs are all down 3-1 in their own series. ( the Jets are down 3-1 against the Stars, the Capitals are down 3-1 against the Hurricanes, and the Golden Knights are down 3-1 against the Oilers)

So if these three teams lose their series and the Leafs win their own series against the panthers, they will have home ice advantage for the rest of the Stanley Cup playoffs ( eastern conference finals/Stanley cup finals)

The path or road to the cup in 2025 will go through Toronto, Ontario.

Interesting choice for the Canucks. Thought they would go with a veteran considering the mess they were this season.

Kapanen wins it for Oilers.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Florida Edmonton rematch

 

[ACC1224]

Florida Edmonton rematch

Can they both lose.

 

[torontoblood]

Kapanen wins it for Oilers.

Former maple leaf kasperi kapanen scores the series winner. He was a healthy stratch before tonight lol.

Oilers advance to the western conference final for the second straight year.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

It had to be Kapanen LOL

Back to back shutouts for Skinner. Vegas blows

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Kappy is clutch always liked the guy. Good game Oilers.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Hyman, Brown, and Kap...

All our depth is on the Oilers.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Division winners all going out in round two.

The Oilers just proved to everyone that, you can, in fact, win a game without scoring in regulation.

Here we’re not allowed to blame goaltending unless we score 5+.

 

[Aashir]

edmonton just owned vegas b2b

if leafs lose i hope edmonton wins

I like McDrai, superstars who actually show up for their team and win them games

and they play better defence than us too lol

He got put into the lineup last game (game 4) and looked like the best player of the night. Shot out of a cannon hitting everything

Toronto has only scored one goal over its past two games though. Can't imagine many thinking that Game 3 was a good one for either Toronto or Florida's goaltending.

Sure but when you’re out of the game early on shots your goalie should stop it’s pretty discouraging.

Bob faced the tougher chances and allowed 1 goal. Woll somehow allows 5.

It's probably fair to state that Woll has been a problem, but not altogether the problem.

Of course, I obviously wouldn't mind winning a game largely on the back of goaltending as Edmonton essentially just did.

 

[Zybalto]

Did not have Skinner and Oilers former Leaf depth being the difference against Vegas on my bingo card....

 

[Malachi Crunch]

Hear me out - the oilers must win the cup. Why? McDavid is a conscientious and honourable soldier. I can only see him leaving Edmonton for Toronto if he gifts the fans a cup or two. He’s too loyal otherwise. We must do what’s best for our team. We must cheer for the Oilers. Sorry.

Can you imagine the odds you could have gotten on back to back Skinner shutouts?

 

[Jojalu]

McDavid and Drai combined for 2 points over the last 2 games.

Both wins.
