2025 Playoffs

[kreidertime]

Moose made sure to point out today how Lindgren was exposed twice by Raantanen in game 7.

 

[kreidertime]

Dallas didn't have 2 of their top 2 players the entire series against the Av's and still won. Impressive. Our top players decided to kill yet another coach. Fucking losers.

Lindgren’s 360 spin cycle on the tying goal was honestly sad. He had no chance. Avs hid him on the third pair and he was still exposed. Appreciate his effort but he is a tremendous liability.

The defense will look much better next year without him and with a new zone scheme.

 

[kreidertime]

First call I would’ve made if I was Sullivan was to Lafraniere. Telling him don’t come in out of shape like last year. Your lazy fucking play won’t be tolerated. If you come in with your A game you’re gonna play the first power-play unit all fucking year.

 

[kreidertime]

Next call would be to Zibanedouche telling him if you don’t fucking hit the ground running next year I’m gonna start scratching you. You’re also not playing the first power-play unit all year same with Kreider. Unless he knows they’re gonna force them out.

 

[kreidertime]

Chokapeg. They’re gonna blow that thing up when they lose.

 

[Ranger71]

Oof..their fans are getting extremely pissed.

 

[kreidertime]

Hope Stepan is watching if you look at the shit goaltending in this playoffs, you shouldn’t bitch aT Shesterkin even again.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

OH MY GOD!

 

[Messiah717]

What a choke job St. Louis.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Buch with stupid icing and they score

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Hockey playoffs are immeasurably more entertaining and exciting than any other professional sport.....incredible

 

[Ranger71]

Wow

 

[PorterPanzer]

Winnipeg is another perfect spot to send Adam Fox.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Any guesses on who scores the winner?

 

[Greyvtrayn]

One of the few guaranteed penalties in OT....puck over the glass/delay of game.

 

[Ranger71]

Buch for the GW I predict.

Great comeback win for the Jets. The NHL playoffs are awesome for many reasons, but maybe the two biggest are there are so many close games, and every team has a shot once you get in. The 8th seeded Blues could/should have beaten the # 1 overall seeded Jets.

Great stuff, and give the Jets, and Hellebuyck, credit for never giving up, and getting it done despite almost no chance down 2 late in the 3rd.

The 2nd round should be a lot of fun. I like the West matchups better.

Panthers/Leafs and Canes/Caps in the East.
Stars/Jets and Oilers/Golden Knights in the West.

I'll go Panthers/Canes and Stars/Golden Knights, but I think all 4 series certainly could go either way. My biggest favorite is the Panthers.

 

[kreidertime]

One of the biggest choke jobs I’ve ever seen in my entire life.

 

[NYR_94]

Good win by Toronto, came out strong and held on. I'd expect a much better Florida performance in game 2.

 

[NYR31]

Leafs are resilient. Came back twice from a goal down and just took the lead with less than 3 minutes to go in the 2nd.

Panthers can’t afford to go down 0-2 in the series.

 

[kreidertime]

1967 is too long. I’ll be rooting for the leafs as usual to win the cup if the Rangers are out

 

[Ranger71]

Leafs or Loseipeg

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Same here...Leafs or Jets.

 

[NYR31]

Toronto is like a Tortorella team. They block everything and Florida had a hard time getting the puck on goal. Good game but Panthers are in trouble.

 

[NYR_94]

Give credit to Toronto. They battle back, and while Florida outplayed them tonight, it doesn't matter as Toronto found a way to win. I wouldn't mind seeing them win, but I do not believe the series is over. I can totally see Florida going home and winning both. That series still has ups and downs to come IMO.

A Canadian team hasn't won the Cup since 93, so they are due. With Edmonton winning last night, Toronto up 2-0, and the Jets still alive, they have a shot to break that streak this season.

 

[NYR_94]

The debate about how good Rantanen is has been answered pretty loudly so far. He has another hat trick tonight, all in the 2nd period, and through 8 playoff games including tonight, he has 8 goals and 15 points, with all 8 goals and 14 points coming in the past 4 games, wow.

 

[Stepupstepan]

why did Carolina trade him to Dallas? lol Did he say he won't sign there?

 

[NYR_94]

Yes, he did, or at the very least Carolina couldn't/wouldn't give him the contract Dallas signed him for, $12M per for 8-years with a NMC for the whole contract. They had to move him so as not to lose him for nothing, but what a huge get for Dallas, and it's paying off huge to get them by Colorado and so far, tonight.

 

[kreidertime]

I feel incredibly strong that Dallas will win the cup. Winning without one of the best 5 defenseman in the game vs. Colorado and Robertson also. Winning game one with their top D man. Rantanen is fucking rolling now.
