2025 Playoffs

The way OT has gone for the first 23:00 it's hard to envision the Devils scoring.

 

Bingo, that was an easy call...lol.

Now we'll see if the Canes and their very questionable goaltending can beat the Caps. I think the Canes win that series IF their goalie is simply solid. If their goalie, whichever one it is, plays poorly the Caps will win it.

 

I wish they could both lose.

 

Canes are small and soft. They aren't built to beat the Craps. I watched a little of the Devils game. They got fucking screwed by incompetent officiating. You know it was pathetic if I'm saying that.

 

Disappointed in the Kings last night, that was the first game in the series that was a throwback to the past 3 years/series between these teams. The Oliers pretty much dominated, and if it weren't for Kuemper the game would have been a blowout. Hard to see the Kings rebounding after that effort and winning game 6 in Edmonton, but in the NHL playoffs, you never know.

The Blues/Jets game tonight is really interesting. Will the 75-time winning Vezina goal show up, I think yes, but we'll see.

 

Rangers would have given the Crapitals a much better series if our pussy vets didn’t quit.

 

Caps move on to face Carolina, I have to tell you, I have no passion for that series at all. I am sure some of it's because I don't like either team, but I also don't see that as a very exciting series. I would guess it goes 6 or 7, and I lean Carolina if they get even solid goaltending.

Tampa done in the 1st round again. I kind of feel for them having to play the Panthers in the 1st round again, but it is what it is. Curious to see what they do this summer. They made changes after last season, their team is signed for next season outside of Gourde, and I think they are the 2nd best team in the East, so one would think they shouldn't go crazy with major changes, but we'll see.

The Panthers keep rolling along. I like them a lot over the Leafs, I don't see anything stopping them from making a 3rd straight finals appearance outside of an injury, they are a big fav to me. They may go back-to-back like the Lightning did a few years ago.

 

Tough to argue with any of that.

 

Florida is still a playoff machine. I'm stunned they rolled over Tampa like that but I probably shouldn't be. Tkachuk is well rested and looks dominant.
