Around the NHL 2024 25

Nate McKinnon, Toews and Makar trio had been out for the whole 4 minute PP had like 1 shift off and then were back out for the 5v5 shift again on which they got scored on, wonder if the energy level had something to do with that OT goal.

Hat tip to Stars, I expected a beatdown with their injuries but they are not just hanging on but also looking they are matching the Avs.
 
The Oilers defense and goaltending are crap, but the KINGS absolutely TERIRIFY me! That’s a team that capitalizes on their scoring chances.

I think they’re going to the Western Conference Final and maybe further.
 
I want Dallas just for the fact that they are as banged up as the Jets are assuming the Jets make it to the 2nd round. Jets are most likely missing Ehlers for most if not all of the 2nd round and who knows where Villardi will be. Stars are also likely to miss one or both of Heiskanen and Robertson so in terms of injuries both teams will have star players banged up.

Compare that Colorado who best I can tell have a fully healthy roster, Landeskog is back and even Nichushkin hasn't gone on his year playoff coke bender yet.
 
I was talking hockey with my buddy about this game, and he asked that question.

"Do you think they'll look to Pickard for an answer?"

My man, if Pickard is the answer, it must have been a rhetorical question.

Maybe he meant Jean-Luc Pickard?

Yes we may find ourselves up against them IF we can do our part to get there, but hopefully gabe and Nikki are at close to 100% at that point and if we can find our game we had all year I like our chances. Both are massive pieces to us going deep and it's a bit of a blessing we have these kind of goals were still capable of reaching
 
Dallas is the weaker team even if they were fully healthy but I might have greatly overestimated Colorado here. The series is still young and things can change but Colorado doesn't look like what I envisioned them to be.
