[Mgd31]

So the Stars are down Heiskanen and now Robertson? Damn they might be cooked.

 

[thebeernerd]

So the Stars are down Heiskanen and now Robertson? Damn they might be cooked.

And they're still down Seguin.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

added the current schedule to OP to assist folks on what/when to watch

also see current schedule at Schedule | Apr 17, 2025 | NHL.com

 

[thebeernerd]

I'm extremely confident the Sens will beat the Leafs, and I think it won't even take seven games for them to do it.

 

[NJDevs26]

I'm extremely confident the Sens will beat the Leafs, and I think it won't even take seven games for them to do it.

Wouldn’t mind that, but their playoff history against the Leafs is even worse than ours with the Canes.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Dallas's Robertson is out week to week.

He got injured in the last game of the season, somehow, (yikes).





Dallas fans are mad as hell at PDB.

 

[Satans Hockey]

Wouldn’t mind that, but their playoff history against the Leafs is even worse than ours with the Canes.

It's pretty similar, they are 8-16 and 0-4 in all time series vs Toronto and we are 11-18 and 1-4 in all time series vs Carolina.

 

[Emperoreddy]

 

[Devilsgrl35]

Dallas's Robertson is out week to week.

He got injured in the last game of the season, somehow, (yikes).





Dallas fans are mad as hell at PDB.

Jesus that is awful by PDB. And awful for Robertson as well.

Imagine our board had Bratt, Nico, Timo or Luke had played and been hurt in the last game. Yikes.

 

[Cheddabombs]

I'm extremely confident the Sens will beat the Leafs, and I think it won't even take seven games for them to do it.

It's funny, I have the exact opposite thought. I'd go so far as to say I think this is the year the Leafs can go on a decent run. But believe me, I'd love to be wrong lol

 

[MadDevil]

I respect the effort.

 

[HoliksGhost]

Jesus that is awful by PDB. And awful for Robertson as well.

Imagine our board had Bratt, Nico, Timo or Luke had played and been hurt in the last game. Yikes.

That’s why you can’t get worked up about not winning meaningless games

 

[njdevils1982]

love it!

 

[Bleedred]

Is it possible that this was not Pete’s choosing and he’s pretty much blaming management and/or medical staff for allowing Robertson to play injured?

I’d have to watch the interview to really get a better idea.

 

[NJDevs26]

Speaking of bad injuries, jesus f***

 

[Richer's Ghost]

I respect the effort.

That's russian vodka league hockey - he was so drunk he thought it was his bench! lol

 

[Satans Hockey]

I respect the effort.

Love it, that shit bag earned that beating. Hope nobody got a penalty too.

 

[Satans Hockey]

Speaking of bad injuries, jesus f***

f***ing embarrassing by the Minnesota shitbag medical team. Team USA should be using their own medical staff who then has to double check with the players NHL teams medical staff on everything before any major decisions or lack of decisions as well.

 

[Alex NJD]

Doing some pre-playoff research. Checking out expected lineups, player playoff histories, some analytics, etc. Craziest thing I found so far was Oettinger's playoff history.
45 starts.
27 at .920+ SV%
2 between .900 - .919 SV%
16 below .900 SV% 6 of which are .800 or below

Dude is a brick wall 60% of the time or swiss cheese 40% of the time

 

[Triumph]

Jesper Boqvist had 0 goals and 3 assists in his final 31 games this season.

 

[njdevils1982]

Love it, that shit bag earned that beating. Hope nobody got a penalty too.

penalties?! in that melee* only one stick was dropped. weak as f***

*dano would pronounce it wrong

 

[PizzaAndPucks]

Jesper Boqvist had 0 goals and 3 assists in his final 31 games this season.

Our bottom 6 issues aside, that's some weak numbers. Certain posters on here had us fretting over letting this guy go but didn't seem to shit on Boston for not keeping him around either....

 

[Mr Bojanglez]

Dallas's Robertson is out week to week.

He got injured in the last game of the season, somehow, (yikes).





Dallas fans are mad as hell at PDB.

that really hurts because... he got over his off-season surgery after being mediocre the first 2 months. 67 points in 60 games since December.

 

[Mr Bojanglez]

Jesper Boqvist had 0 goals and 3 assists in his final 31 games this season.

Biggest mistake that we will never get over was failure to re-sign him.
