2025 NHL Playoffs - Round 1 Predictions

[Cousin Strawberry]

4 Nations goaltending battle redux....

Could crazy Jordan take down Vezina Connor twice in the same season?

What do the Jets do with Hellebuyck if they lose?

I saw he stiffened in a recent interview that asked if he could explain why he's struggled in postseasons...he replied all butthurt "I've studied goaltender probably more than anyone on this planet"

Isnt that reminiscent of Luongo crying about Turco or Thomas not pumping his tires? Crying to media and shit

Pathetic

I will say this....I love how tough the blues are playing. They are my dark horse to win it I think. They are tough as old boots

Montogomery is a good coach.

Got rooked in Beantown.

Said it before, I really like Buchnevich.

Wish he played here.

Would.look good with Petey.

...and yeah, Hellebuyck is a wilting violet.

Edit...rocked by Faksa....

[Cornuck]

The Jets got very very lucky.

The tying goal was a fluke that Perfetti got his stick on that whiffed one-timer by Connor. If Connor had gotten all of that I'd bet Binnington stops his shot and the game ends with a puck in the corner.

St. Louis deserved a better fate in that one.

Actually, I was thinking, with Tocc gone, we should bring home Kuzzy96. I always thought Kuz was EP40's best ever running mate; they were Sedin like that 1st year together. With Brockstar6 most likely gone as well, Kuz could slot in on RW and help fill that void as he showed he still has some offensive flair with the Kings. Give them a big dood LWer like DJ81 or O'Conner to battle for pucks and go to the dirty areas. Maybe even try out Debrusk, but that might be putting all our scoring on 1 line.

The biggest thing is Kuz had a sub-par year, so not sure he can command too much in the open market and should be cheap. Maybe a 2 yr deal @ $2.5M/per? Don't think we should go for the big deals like Debrusk on the wings, but there are always some reclamation projects out there worth rolling the dice on. Fartbort & KS44 were 2 recent examples that worked out well for us. As Blobby Mac would say, just dumpster dive. Save our big $$$ to address the key postion of acquiring a centre.

Fartbort!



Thats one of your better ones
