The Official 2025 NHL Playoffs Thread: Do you get two Conn Smythes if you're a rookie? Asking for a Russian friend

(The Brandt Clarke goal was a total snipe)

This game is nuts but I'm exhausted. GOILERS!

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Nuge ties it on the PP

No shortage of goals in this one

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Looking forward to a 21-19 final

[Grand Moff Larkin]

They finally show an angle where it’s 100% clear that Arvidsson cleaned out Kuemper with an elbow during his move across the net

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Pickard is the polar opposite of “inspires confidence.” Every shot seems like it could go in

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Avs could really use a guy like Mikko Rantanen tonight

[pissfarm]

Thankfully the Stars had a regular Steve Smith.

Knights in 6

I hate being right

Ehlers back in tonight. Scheifele is out, so Vlad Namestnikov, who was playing above his ideal as 2nd line center is now centering the first line. Love the dude, but the JERTS are not scary at all down the middle.

Of course, the outcome of the game/series will entirely be dependent on Hellebuyck. Not feeling nearly as fantastic as practically every other team with a freaking HART TROPHY nominee backstopping things would be.

I avoided any media that would have betrayed the result, all day and evening, even got the mrs to archive any whatsapp messages about it, then the NHL.tv thumbnail for the full game replay is Nylander celebrating a goal with the boys, all the other ones are just team logos, are you kidding me?? So I'm sure the nylanders will win, until the 2-2 goal when I'm convinced I've been had

no idea why Pacioretty ever checked into this series.

Remember when you said this?

Equivalent to the Domi comment pre game 3 OT, if not more so.

[sutterfamily]

More so "what" you say? Infuriating, sir. Infuriating.

Do you know how many times I called Travis Hamonic awful all year to absolutely no results?

[practice]

SNES were good, Stu great, 2nd Leafs goal felt really weak, it ended up in the centre third of the net. Mcmann had his best/only good game of the series. I agree with goaltending legend Kelly Hrudey that the Brady penalty was in fact interference

[practice]

no idea why Pacioretty ever checked into this series.

Remember when you said this?

Equivalent to the Domi comment pre game 3 OT, if not more so.

Yeah of course I do

[Grand Moff Larkin]

User practice would never question Patches’ spot in the lineup

[practice]

The Leafs won 3 straight games with Robertson playing on the 3rd line and then lost 2 when he got replaced by Pacioretty, who got demoted in this game. It was great shot however. The Leafs have been winning ugly all year

Yeeesh

[Grand Moff Larkin]

That Schenn goal, woof
