2025 NHL Playoffs - Round 1 Predictions

[JelloPuddingPop]

All I care about is the Sens continuing to contribute to the Leaves being one and done in the playoffs.

If you count the qualifying round loss to CBJ in 2019-20, it's been eight straight one and dones.

I'm on board with this. Biggest Sens fan out there for this one series.

Though to be fair, TOR got by TB in 2023 - losing to FLA in the 2nd rd.

[theman]

Western Conference

Winnipeg vs St. Louis Don't care
Vegas vs Minnesota. Vegas - because of that goon on Minny
Dallas vs Colorado. Don't care
Edmonton vs Los Angeles. LA 100%

Eastern Conference

Washington vs Montreal Washington
Toronto vs Ottawa Ottawa
Tampa vs Florida Don't care
Carolina vs New Jersey Don't care

Make your picks and how many games.....

Donny, sometimes a guy's just gotta make the hard call.

5-1 now and Robertson left the game injured and won't return.

I think they've lost 7 or 8 in a row now to close out the season. I'd say they're sunk.

Robertson was hurt tonight just to top it off.

Does anyone even bother to read the threads anymore?

lol

[Hockey Widow]

Winnipeg vs St. Louis Winnipeg in 6. This could be their year.
Vegas vs Minnesota Vegas in 5. Mini ain't that good
Dallas vs Colorado. Colorado in 5. Dallas is done
Edmonton vs Los Angeles LA in 5. Never hope for the Oilers



Washington vs Montreal Montreal in 7. Washington has been on a slide since the big record.
Toronto vs Ottawa. Ottawa in 6. Just because
Tampa vs Florida. Toss up.
Carolina vs New Jersey Carolina in 4

Hahahaha.

I saw this last night, did a double take, and was going to hold Meg’s feet to the fire over it…..but then decided he’s a geriatric who just can’t keep up and gave him a pass.

Mëds, the gut sometimes leads me astray.

Especially when you lower it down to rest squarely onto her ample ass

[Chef Boi RD]

Is Heiskenen back from injury yet?

[Cousin Strawberry]

Is Heiskenen back from injury yet?

Unlikely for the first round

They're a damn good team without him still. Robertson hurts though

[Lancer]

Winnipeg in 6 - Helleybuck wins round 2 vs Binnington
Vegas in 6 - Too much playoff pedigree and their D is better
Colorado in 5 - Dallas is banged up, in a funk and Colorado will get Landeskog back at some point in the series
LA in 6 - Losing Eckholm will sting, and their goaltending is no better than last year

Washington in 5 - Montreal is scrappy and has some good pieces, but Washington's goaltending is the difference
Ottawa in 7 - An untested Ottawa team vs a Toronto whose playoff experience is one of choking
Florida in 7 - This will be a beauty of a bloodbath
Carolina in 6 - NJ has the pieces, but Carolina is a machine
