The Official 2025 NHL Playoffs Thread: Hyman Broken

Panthers were, unfortunately, always the best team in the conference if they were healthy and playing at their best which they are, unfortunately, now doing.

Fav post-game moment from last night was Tanev saying "this one's on me, I'll take the blame" which is hilarious.

Athletic headline: “ Why Maple Leafs’ Game 5 loss might be their worst one yet”

A truly amazing franchise

So many Habs fans in the comments on that one complaining that once again, someone said that the 2021 Habs team wasn't very good ("Or in 2021, in blowing a 3-1 series lead to a not-very-good Montreal Canadiens team in the first round.")

A lot of crazy things have happened in these playoffs but nothing to rival "consecutive shutouts from Stuart Skinner"

A couple of games a go a JERTS fan friend of mine texted "Is this what it's like to be an Oilers fan with Skinner in net? Any shot can go in." ... today, he's wishing for some Skinner-esque performances in the next three games.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I only watched the second period, but I had zero comfort in Skinner making any save / read. He got comically out of the net at one point (recalling the Smith goal to end game three) but got bailed out by his D.

[nick]

Hey give me being bailed out by my D and getting a shutout over letting in unscreened mid-range shots any day at this point

[Grand Moff Larkin]

6 minutes into the third and there are under 30 total shots in this Caps Canes game

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Canes score with two minutes left to take the lead

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Thompson’s been great but that was a bad goal

[Grand Moff Larkin]

RIP Caps, guess you were frauds after all

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Truly the playoffs of the own goal

[pissfarm]

Jamie Benn being an asshole? Shocker

[linseman]

domi is partially redeeming himself, prevented two good early panthers chances

[Grand Moff Larkin]

This feels like one they’ll lose in OT vs. a thorough embarrassment

[Alexei Ca$hin]

They seem to have "shown up" at least

[linseman]

ya, noticeably improved compete level

knies was looking very perturbed on the bench, not good

[Alexei Ca$hin]

I've taken it under full consideration. I'm going to lay it on the line.

[linseman]

personally, i am still pretty into the foolish games, going to keep doing those for awhile
