Around the NHL - 2025 Playoffs

ROFLcopter Stars

It's only one game, but man, do the Stars look awful right now. Have to figure something out, ASAP.

Frankly I don't think either them nor Colorado looked that good. Winnipeg and St. Louis both looked like they could have beat Dallas or Colorado.

Agree. The Jets and Blues are playing good hockey at the moment. Dallas is really struggling from all the injuries. Colorado seems to flick on and off like they are missing a few gears—they don't look like a team that will advance far.

I’m on the Kings bandwagon because f*** McEdmonton

Glass getting injured because his goalie tries to hack at someone and hits him instead is like a microcosm of his whole career.

The three main pieces in the Ellis trade were all cursed.

I just realized that, if I want Vegas to lose, I have to root for John Hynes. Eww...

I’m still no Hynes fan but having to see what a truly terrible coach looks like has definitely changed my opinion on him.

They can lose next round. This year's hierarchy of hate is:
Minnesota
Dallas/St Louis is a pick em. One team i really want to lose is guaranteed to lose, and one team I really want to lose is guaranteed to win)
Winnipeg
Toronto
Montreal
Vegas
Tampa
Colorado

Pretty much anyone else I can tolerate, and my preferred winner would be 1. Carolina and 2. Ottawa

 

[Armourboy]

Yeah no way I can root for Minnesota. I don't want to see them, Dallas, St. Louis, Montreal or Toronto win anything ever.

 

[ShagDaddy]

I would like to see Vegas and Tampa both go out in the first round

Vegas won't, game tonight is probably as close as Minnesota will get. As we've seen Hynes is horrible at adjusting even between games, let alone on the fly.

Blows my mind him playing a guy in his first game in the NHL with less than two minutes to go. We couldn't get him to play anyone that young unless he was forced too for nothing in the world.

 

[Roman Yoshi]

Coach Voldemort was such a weird duck. I'm glad he isn't our coach anymore but I will say he does seem to have learned from his time here and made some adjustments. I'll begrudgingly give him that.

My hierarchy of hate
Winnipeg
Minnesota
Dallas
Toronto
Montreal
St Louis
Edmonton
New Jersey
LA
Vegas
Florida
Washington
Tampa
Ottawa
Colorado
Carolina

Though I will say Washington winning just to cap off Ovie's career would be pretty cool tbh.

I'd really like to see Carolina win though.

 

[herzausstein]

Hynes can lose next round. I want Vegas and Tampa out as early as possible.

 

[ShagDaddy]

Apparently Seattle isn’t satisfied with mediocrity.

 

[ShagDaddy]

Vancouver either.

 

[PredsV82]

Vancouver either.

I don't know that I've ever heard of a contract for a coach with an option year

 

[Armourboy]

Montreal radio crying like babies about the Refs. Caps dominated that period, they are lucky it's not 5-0. Refs are the least of their issues.

 

[Armourboy]

Caps dominate for 50 minutes, get sloppy late and Montreal is taking it to OT.

Habs poke bear ... bear scores OT goal.

Ovie with the game winner in OT

Ovie with the game winner in OT

3 Point night, still got it.

 

[bdub24]

Feefee having a game against the McEddies

 

[Scoresberg]

If that game doesn’t make the Oilers go looking for a goalie, I don’t know what will…
