GDT: Second Round of the 2025 Playoffs

Count me on team ‘Sign Marner’.

You get a chance to sign a 100pt player thats also great defensively, you do it.

Figure out the playoff demons when you cross that bridge.

He's 180 lbs., and plays a soft, perimeter game. There's no "figuring out" the playoff demons. He is what he is. He just doesn't have the strength to elevate his game come playoff time, and none of his other attributes are elite enough to compensate for that. No thanks.

Overturning goals like that for a few millimeters offsides hurts more than helps. Tough break for WSH

That has to be called, 100%. That is what the rule is for.

Play continued for another 20 seconds and the Canes had plenty of chances to get control back. It’s a nitpicky rule and it kills all momentum for the team scoring and fans watching.

Were they offsides? Yes. End of conversation.

They were CLEARLY offsides. That's NOT pickin nits.

If the official can’t call it live then how big of a deal is it really?

It's a big deal. Lol.

Yup. Get rid of replay in every sport. Heck, let's get rid of all rules! No big deal!

I won't comment any further as I don't find this to be a legit conversation.

The officials couldn't call an offisde that was 20 feet offside that led to this rule change. If its offside, its offside.

5 points in 17 games 5, 6, and 7. $14m cap hit. He's got 2 shots in his last 4 games and has been awful with turnovers and on defense. We'd honestly be better off trading back for Strome than wasting all that cap space on a player like him.
