Around the NHL 2024 25

If we're a true championship team, we shouldn't be talking about ducking teams in the first round

I'd love to get revenge on the Avs and knock them out if we happen to fall to 2nd in the central

If we can't beat them, we ARE frauds

I'd trade in a chance to glut our vengeance for a 1.2x bump to our chances of winning the cup. We can get our revenge on Colorado in the second round after Dallas puts them through hell and we dust off the lesser of two weevils in the WC2 spot.

I hear you but playing devils advocate one of the things that hurt Dallas last year was they had to play Vegas in the first round and it was a war of a series then they got the Avs in another tough series and they seemed to run out of gas a bit vs the Oilers in the final 4. No matter what the NHL playoffs are going to be tough and I would prefer to get the last wild card opponent in the first round if we earn that right.

No scared of anyone but just pacing ourselves a bit if possible :naughty:

Yes. Playoffs are such a slog, you don't want to start with a series that drains you physically and emotionally.
 
First round of the playoffs is always a crap shoot, no shame in wanting the supposed easiest matchup and disposing them as quickly as possible.
Agreed. How we forget how awesome that NSH series was in the second round of 2017-18 playoffs, only to leave us battered and with relatively little in the tank when we faced the F*ck Knights and a hot Fleury.
 
Don't sleep on the Utah HC for that final WC spot.
St. Louis has an easy schedule this month. They might be the best of the rest. Seattle is playing spoiler for a lot of teams right now. I sure expected them to be better. But the teams who won on July 1st didn't produce winning results.
