NHL playoffs 2025!

Reaves is a liability, he won't play. Plenty of other folks in Bennetts weight class on the current roster.

Bennett doesn't answer the bell, he's a puke, not an enforcer. Expect Bob or some like Barkov to get it instead.

It's crazy how having the AGM's Dad as the Head of Player Safety's boss helps prevent accountability for the dirtiness. And how the same relationship dates back to the AGM's playing days when his dad was the actual head of player safety. And it's crazy how the NHL tolerates the blatant conflict of interest, and has for decades now.

So George Paros is the player safety guy,

Former goon- like having the local HA gang be the cops.

Ha, true.

But I was talking about Colin Campbell continuing to be soft on teams associated with Greg.

I think it depends on who you are and what team you play for.
We need some Semenkos back.

Semenko, to my knowledge never gooned/or cheapshotted anyone. It was always a fair fight. And he lost a few.

Oilers 4-2 over VGK, game 1 round 2.

Calvin Pickard is now the only goalie this year to be 5-0 post season.

The Connor Brown insurance goal in the third period was a Gretzky era, end to end, highlight reel quality effort.

Not to complain (since they finally won a game one), but the next achievement for the Oilers to unlock will be to actually build and hold a lead in the first period.

I'd settle for just them scoring the first goal.

4-1 Leafs, end of the second. Game one, round two.

You think the Leafs are maybe a little jacked about the hit on Stolarz?

I had to go watch several videos of this "Hit". Looked more like a rub. I'm a little surprised at the hoopla over this. There are harder hits on first year U15 players.

The concussion is probably from the puck to the mask and the symptoms gradually come on, not immediately.

Good points but there weren’t many willing to suffer the consequences of a marginal hit on 99

Leafs 3-2 vs Panthers, end of the second period, game 2, round 2.

This will be a wild third period….

 

[SeaKingTacco]

And Leafs for the win. Up 2-0 on the Panthers.

In the NHL and NBA quarter finals so far, Toronto is the only team who have won at home.

I don’t know what the Leaf’s are thinking. It’s almost like they forgot they have T times to make.

 

[PrairieFella]

Jets fans are ruthless with that US backup chant at Oettinger haha.

I don't think their new coach plays golf. And he's kinds like a scary dad. You know the one dad who got all the rough/crazy kids when there was a field trip. The only parent who could handle them (and probably the only dad on the trip as well).

What a crazy finish. The Leafs had the better goalie, that was the big difference in this game (though I don't blame Bob for three of those four goals).

 

[SeaKingTacco]

Oilers 5-4 in OT vs VGK round 2.

That is 6 straight wins in the playoffs.

Oilers need to do better on PP and play with more discipline to avoid stupid penalties. VGK are super dangerous and they cannot afford to give away chances.

Pickard was great when it mattered most. He is getting better and better.

 

[rmc_wannabe]

I am happy to see the Oilers come back from the depths. I hope Winnipeg finds their stride after a shaky start.

The Leafs need to keep the pressure on and not take the stupid penalties Florida is trying to bait them into.

It wasn't a shaky start for Winnipeg, they got Rantanen'd, I'm not worried. That said, the PP NEEDS to score more.
