GDT: HFBoards GDT: 04/05/2025 | So the East is finally getting in on Elimination game

[BMOK33]

On paper the playoff series look sorts crappy. Just doesn’t feel any of the WCs are real threats at all. Too much inexperience in the east and the western top seeds to me are simply too good to lose. That said watch all go 7 somehow

 

[NyQuil]

Yeah, the people of Sodom said the about Lot.

 

[BB79]

Time for you guys to lose a few. Need to meet in round 1

Toronto-Ottawa and Florida-TB would be the best matchups. Too bad the Rangers can't get going to bump MTL out. Damn shame

They better be separate days

 

[SheldonJPlankton]

Classic officiating in Montreal.

 

[BB79]

They better be separate days

Knowing the NHL, they'll mess it up

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Massive win for the Habs. Hutson and Suzuki are willing this team into the playoffs,

Classic officiating in Montreal.

Little did laviolette know back in the day Montreal typical was true in the opposite way than he meant.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Habs win Habs win trash lose
Leafs win leafs win
Blues wkin Blues win
Utah wins Utah wins
Bruins win Bruins win

 

[Mike C]

Get the chirps in while you can. East belongs to the Leafs this year

Yep. Just like they say "wait till last year"

 

[TotalHomer]

Do you guys want WC1 so you can play Toronto in the first round?

I think you guys want Toronto. But we would make Mitch a little mouse like always and Matthews couldn't even get it done last year when he was healthy. They're trying to play our game and when the whistles go away we'll take it to the gutter and they can't match. So it really doesn't matter for us.

Pasta is sick though

If we truly end up getting Dallas-Colorado, Toronto-Ottawa and Florida-Tampa Bay it should be an epic first round......

 

[Master P]

Its going to be funny if Ottawa ends up catching the Panthers and Toronto wins the division just to get stuck with FL in round 1.

 

[Gjman2019]

Blues are hot at the right time as much as I hate to say it

Impressive for sure but gonna be due to cool off though........Think i would pick Vegas in that series......

You have to beat them all to win.

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

POV: You have your first 80 point forward since the 1970s

And somehow, the Habs have greatly outperformed the Leafs in the playoffs despite all their megastars.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

LOL even the Vegas pre-game commentators are talking about how the Knights would be better off playing the Oilers instead of St. Louis.

Wonder if the Flames will get a freebee tonight?

 

[Master P]

You have to beat them all to win.

Only 4, not all.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Only 4, not all.

Fair enough.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Only 4, not all.

And you want to play teams that have been beaten up by somebody else.

 

[Leaf Fans]

And you want to play teams that have been beaten up by somebody else.

Nah, you just want to win.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

You have to beat them all to win.

Getting lucky match-ups matters more than people like to pretend it does.

Do the Habs win in 1993 if the Isles don’t pull an an unlikely upset against the Pens? Does Tampa win as easily in 2021 if Habs didn’t take out Vegas (and Vegas getting lucky against the Avs)? Who knows?

Maybe they win.
