Hockey Trash Talk & BS thread

We have Goaltending though, the Oil could lose even if they only allowed 5 shots on net lol.

 

The Leafs officially hand off the title of first round struggle bus team to the Wild.

 

“The biggest come-from-behind game win in the first round of the 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs was by the **Carolina Hurricanes** against the **New Jersey Devils** in Game 5. The Hurricanes erased a **three-goal deficit** and won 5-4 in double overtime, with Sebastian Aho scoring the game-winner. This dramatic comeback helped Carolina become the first team to advance to the second round.”
Highlights of Canes game 5 comeback win:

Are they getting Andersen back for the next round?

If not, I don't like their odds against the Capitals.

 

Understandable based on Kochetkov’s performance in net for game 5. Fortunately Andersen appears to be ok and held the starters crease in practice and will play. Capitals will be a tough team to beat, but if Andersen stays healthy Canes can beat them, he’s been a great playoff goalie thus far.

hat trick

 

Avs management deserves every bit of blame there

 

The wraparound bounce I feel is karma paying back for the robbo injury in final game and the own goal bounce game 6

 

Wow!

Just saw the Stars/Avs score...sorry to see the Avs lose in a G7.

Next up for the Stars is the winner of G7 between the Jets & the Blues.

The second round will commence as the Games get more Intense!

 

Just saw the highlights of the Blues/Jets!

In Double OT, the Jets prevailed!!!

 

Jets / Blues game last night was a monster

 

I saw that!

Jets score equalizer with less than 3 seconds in regulation.

Force 2 OTs and then sink the puck in the net!

I was holding onto the seat of my pants! lol

 

It sucks that the Leafs are probably done on yet another Bennett, "did he mean to do that or not," play. I see it both ways, but at some point it's not an accident that everyone this guy targets ends up knocked out of the series.

 

Update as I look at bracket:

Leafs lead 1-0 over Panthers
Canes lead Caps 1-0
Knights leading 2-1 in the 2nd period
Jets vs Stars tomorrow

 

Canes dominated the Caps in SOG and offensive zone time, steal an away game in OT.
