HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2025 Playoff edition

It's SC finals quality. It's a travesty that this is a first round matchup.

From an entertainment standpoint, I would be kind of happy to get this kind of matchup in the first round

I think the first round is the best, then the grind component gets larger and larger in the deeper rounds and the quality of hockey inherently drops off to an extent.

This is a great point. They likely can't go balls to the wall like they did yesterday on the finals. Man what a game though.
 
Be careful what you ask for

This was two years ago. The Leafs had FINALLY moved on to the 2nd round by beating Tampa 4-2. And Boston, who was 1st in Atlantic were playing Florida, who was a wild card team.

So after the Leafs won their series, the fans were in the streets chanting how they wanted Florida. They ended up getting Florida and Leafs lost that series 4-1.


This year, they will play Florida in the 2nd round again.
