GDT: (First round of playoffs)

[Blackhawkswincup]

Duhaime ENG

Caps win 4-1 and take series in 5

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Where was the Habs lord and savior Hutson?

Florida is still scary. They’re up 5-3

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Luostarinen makes it 5-3 Panthers late in 3rd

Fat lady warming up, TB looks deflated as hell

[Mrfenn92]

Florida is just a unit

 

[BLKHKhockey]

Just an absolute pathetic showing by Kucherov

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Reinhart into EN with 4+ minutes

6-3 Panthers

Lightning fans heading for exits

I did not think this series would be so one sided and end so quickly

 

[Hattrick Kane]

And Tampa is eliminated. Looks a lot like the Hawks once Keith took a step back from super elite. That’s where Hedman is now.

Busy making Ovi look like a prime Patrice Bergeron lmao

In fact, Panthers are a better team in 2025, mainly due to the additions of Marchand and Seth.

Definitely a team built for the playoffs, they just gave a solid Lightning team a spanking in round one.

 

[ColbyChaos]

Demidovs hustle for that near empty net goal was downright pathetic lol. Casually skated after the puck as it was approaching an open net with the season on the line.

Yep. Their run is over. The question becomes can they reopen their window?

 

[Deputy McRizzy]

This game in Ottawa is going to be fun tonight. I hope Brady comes out hitting everything in sight to start things.


And now that I’ve said this I’m sure it’ll be 4-0 after the first period and Toronto ends up winning 6-1 in a snoozer.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Bob was awesome in the first two periods stopping several A+ chances from Tampa.
In the 3rd the Panthers just suffocated 'em. A clinic.

 

[BobbyJet]

Yep. Their run is over. The question becomes can they reopen their window?

It's a shame they had to meet Panthers in round one but the flawed format does it every year.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

They have begun first phase of renovations at Delta Center to modernize arena and eventually make it completely compatible with hockey

 

[Putt Pirate]

Yep. Their run is over. The question becomes can they reopen their window?

they mortgaged the future for this group. Not sure how they reset a reset.

Well planning for future first step is moving Howard's rights this summer if he wont sign

 

[Deputy McRizzy]

I’m not sure if they’ve announced plans on a future stadium, but it would be a shame if they moved from downtown SLC to the burbs. Their minor league baseball team which draws pretty well is in the process of doing that, about 30 minutes outside the city.

It’s nice to catch an event and just walk to a bar or back to your hotel pretty easily.

There wont be a new arena. Instead they went with this plan

The Delta Center is teed up for major changes. Here’s what could come, and when.

Ryan Smith is on the cusp of getting $900 million of public money to renovate the Delta Center and invest in an entertainment district.

SEG (Smith Entertainment Group) is contributing $3B to project that includes demo/renovation/modernizing of Delta Center as well as building an entertainment district in area

The City has committed $900M ($525M towards arena costs and $375M towards entertainment district, etc)

It's the arena work, building entertainment district and other projects all rolled into one nearly $4B project

Surprised they went that route given it was originally built 30+ years ago now.
