OOT scoreboard 2025 playoff edition

[Dylan9z9]

Man, it’s really felt like one of these teams was gonna score in the final minutes of regulation.

It’s looked like both teams could score the game winner very late in regulation.

Dallas had 1 million scoring chances and failed to convert so it'll be game 7 in Winnipeg!

oh (no) canada

 

[Capt Nico Poo]

Good goal!

 

[Dialamo]

Edmonton Dallas WCF rematch!

Scheifele deserves major props that was a hero effort even in a loss.

 

[Camille the Eel]

Bullet of a shot, top shelf and ripped, nothing cautious about Harley’s shot, and Hellybuck was fully screened yet managed to react.

Pity either team had to lose this game.

 

[Bleedred]

I think the West winner wins the cup.

Florida will be out of gas if they get to the cup finals. They look like they’re already out of gas.

I don’t think Toronto is as good as either of the two West teams and either of those teams can fill the Canes net with goals. Edmonton more, but they also have highly questionable goalies.

Oettinger is living up to his past hype these playoffs.

 

[Patrik26]

As much as I've been pulling for Dallas, I truly feel for Scheifele. How would anyone make this up? His dad passes unexpectedly, he scores the first goal of the game, then commits a penalty which resulted in a PPG to lost the series.

 

[Camille the Eel]

Also good for Alain Nasreddine. Dallas defense is awesome and he deserves a lot credit. What a likeable character he was when he was here and did a good job as an interim head coach. We actually had a winning record under him maybe. With his Quebec francophone origin maybe that’s what’s prevented him from getting a look as a head coach despite the experience here and the Dallas resume.

Absolutely.

I think the Canes are the best team left. I don't see them losing. Their road is so easy.

 

[Bleedred]

The Harley game winner was a one timer and not by any means a bad one on Hellebuyck.

I still don’t like the Sam Steel goal. This game reminded me of Hellebuyck against Canada in the championship game. Let in one goal I didn’t like that game and I believe it was a 2-1 (maybe 3-1 with the empty net?) loss.

 

[Bleedred]

No

Dallas and Edmonton are both better.

Florida are better, but out of gas.

I don’t think Toronto are better, but I wouldn’t rule out them beating Carolina.

They might actually have a better chance of beating the Canes than the Panthers, because the Panthers look about done.

I think Stars/Oilers win the cup.

Please stop lmao

 

[Camille the Eel]

With Rantanen, Granlund and Heiskanen the Stars are to Finland what we are to Switzerland. The Finnish style of hockey wears well in the playoffs.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Deboer is a top 5 coach in this league

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Please stop lmao

I mean, they have played 10 games and are sitting back resting while the other teams beat up on each other. While I don't think they are leaps and bounds better than anyone else left, I think they have a slight edge on every team left. They will be the most well rested team going into the next series and if they advance, will likely be far more well rested than the western conference champ. They definitely could lose, but the cards seem to be lining up for them.

They're the worst team left roster wise, this is the same thing hoops this board goes through when the Rags are in the playoffs with copium.

If they win the cup, good for them but I don't see it. Edmonton/Dallas would beat them in a Final and the winner of tomorrow's game 7 could easily use that momentum to win in the ECF

 

[glenwo2]

Let's see if Hellebuyck can win a road game

I guess that's a NOPE.

Like always.

Un-clutch, like always.

Yup

I think I have Edmonton over Carolina in the finals. I am not feeling Dallas after their series against the Jets. They got outplayed, Otter was just terrific. I think Edmonton overpowers them though in 6 at most.

I think Carolina is better than Toronto. While I believe Florida is better, I think they run out of gas. Also game 1 in Carolina is less than a 48 hour turnaround just like our series 2 years ago. Florida/Toronto will be playing massive catch up.

Carolina is top of the charts in all basic categories thus far in the playoffs. CF%, SF%, GF% xGF%.

Blame it on their opponents? Maybe a little, but this is their regular season M.O. as well.

The question with Carolina has always been their goal tending and thus far Anderson is playing great.

Dallas with a negative goal differential thus far. Well below water in shots.

Without having really paid attention it sounds like they've been carried by goal tending and some Rantanen heroics.

The eye test looks like that to me too. Carolina definitely looks most impressive to me so far. But definitely their quality of competition plays into that. They have not faced an opponent of the caliber of Vegas or Winnipeg.

I mean we do say this after they crushed Washington who had the 2nd best record in the league this year. Best in the East.

And as I note above, Carolina completely controlling play is what they always do. Just a matter of if their goal tending undermines them.

I think their PK is a big factor as well. One goal for, and only 2 against thus far. Can't deny how good they are in that regard.
