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

[sutterfamily]

yes he is

[sutterfamily]

Like, he's GOOD. But not a player I, the one being theoretically subjected to his dominance, have noticed much vs other players.

[sutterfamily]

Another part I played in the gwg is I was telling my nephew how I thought batherson was such a good player, who would never turn the puck over on a backhand pass into traffic on a rush in OT, and then do a flyby in the slot on the resulting chance on the other end

Ha, I forgot about the backhand giveaway. The flyby sucked (why not just hit the guy?) but is more like the cherry on top.

Should have said that [Bill Callahan voice] he has to sleep in a bathysphere

[Cacophony]

I just turned on the Vegas-Minny game. What the heck?!

Minnesota winning just to spite Caco's prediction of a sweep

I didn't watch it because Bedtime but it appears that Kaprisov is back to his MVP form

Vegas in 5

[pissfarm]

I might have fallen asleep and dreamed this, but did the announcers say that Minny was something like 26-2 or some other ridiculous record with both Kaprizov and Eriksson Ek in the lineup?

[pissfarm]

Ahh good ol user Google [Bot] says 18-5-2.

Close enough for government work.

kane back for Edmonton tonight, he should be good for at least 3 penalties

feels like Stu Skinner's Edmonton career is on the line tonight - if he has a bad game he's done for the playoffs and probably turfed in the offseason

[Fleetwood mactavish]

I still think Edmonton takes this series

Agree 100% on Skinner, they’ll dump him for John Gibson or whatever

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Handsome Gabe back tonight, be still user pissfarm’s heart

[Grand Moff Larkin]

How did the Habs not tie it there

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Hutson spinning off one Cap directly into a second Cap and losing the puck was pretty funny

[Grand Moff Larkin]

How did the Habs not tie it there

Evans’s shot hit the post, Thompson’s glove, Thompson’s leg, and went out the other side

Handsome Gabe sends Rantanen flying on shift number one!

[pissfarm]

Hell yes hometown hookers hometown blow.

[pissfarm]

Avs got outplayed pretty badly, somehow have a 1-0 lead.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Rough shift for Bischel

[practice]

pretty neat that the oil and the kangs exchanged two bottom 6 players last summer and to witness the results play out so strarkly. I can't remember ever seeing a player shit all over himself to the degree Arvidsson did last night. and it makes sense also to consider eternal Buffalo Sabre Jeff Skinner as a trade for McLeod too
