Around the NHL 2024-2025

Eastern Conference's second wild card spot; everything in the West is wrapped up. Montreal has the fast track, but I'm hoping Columbus makes it.

Todah rabah

Would've loved to have faced the Golden Knights and Oilers for a revenge tour.

I wanted no part of the VGK. For one, I don’t think we match up well, but more importantly, they are one of the league darlings. We would get bent over by the Refs, and if by a miracle, we got past them, the next darling team would be waiting with McCrybaby whining to the refs when someone breathes too hard on him. I’ll take my chances in a fair fight with the Jets.

No team can avoid the best teams. I'd have just preferred to have faced the Jets last, if anything because, again, they're the only team in our division (aside from Utah) that I can stand, and I wanted to get the Oilers because of the whole offer sheet thing. For that, we needed to face Vegas. Besides, we owe Vegas for Pietro, anyway.

Like a thank you card or something?

HAHA, NO. f*** 'em.

 

[simon IC]

Montreal is in.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Panarin wtf is you doing. The Rangers are such a clusterf***

 

[Drubilly]

I just read the press release and the first few pages of that thread on the main board. Wtf indeed

 

[BrokenFace]

The Rangers are going to have to write another letter to the fans soon

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

Once a Blackhawk, always a Blackhawk.

 

[MissouriMook]

Just saw that Pionk signed a 6 x $7M extension with the Jets. Take him off of the list of potential upgrades/additions to the right side of our D this offseason.

 

[BadgersandBlues]

Yea he would have been an interesting target.

I'm still extremely interested to see what happens with Dobson. He had some of the best metrics in the league when paired with Pelech, and we have a Pelech at home in Broberg.......

For any fellow bettors, why is FanDuel showing no odds for the alternative series spread for any favorite -1.5 in any of the series? That is always one of my favorite plays in the first round. I won a good haul on Carolina -1.5 against the Islanders last yr.

Check again tomorrow. Sometimes props don't get listed until the day before the series opens.

The lines/spreads have all been listed since the series were announced EXCEPT the favorite getting -1.5. Odd.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

it’s always funny to me when the leafs are in the playoffs on these boards. Every other series thread on the main boards has 500 or less comments, and the leafs/sens one is already over 2k lmao

 

[mk80]

I’ll say this through the first 2.2 games of the playoffs ours has clearly been the best. The Dallas game got away from them, and NJ is just getting dominated

 

[TheDizee]

NJ is the worst playoff team of them all so its not really surprising. That series will be over in 4.

Which is saying something given how badly the Blues got outplayed 5-on-5 through a big part of their game.

Tired of these blowouts. I want close games!!

Feels like the Blues and Jets are the only good series so far.

 

[TruBlueFan1970]

Berube be damned, I want the Leafs to go down. I’ve never seen a bigger bunch of pansy ass divers since the Preds days. These guys are an embarrassment. Hope they get smoked or if they do win, their top guys get injured for being soccer players instead of hockey players. Can’t believe this is a Berube team. And you can add the Ref-a-Leafs to the RefaLanche. Smdh

 

[mk80]

Mike Yeo is an assistant in Ottawa now?

No wonder they’re down 6-2 to Chief’s Leafs

I bet Perron was thrilled to see him.

Physical start to the Battle of Ontario, as expected. Will be shocking if we don’t see a suspension coming from this series, especially from Ottawa’s side.

 

[TheOrganist]

Yeolo has a very loser vibe.

Toronto looked really solid. Berube effect + avoiding Boston/Tampa is solid for them. Not making me regret my bet on them to come out of the East.
