Vegas looks so outclassed.

 

BTW, balance has been returned to the Force in Raleigh.

Edmonton with a clinic on how to go to the net. 

Remember when Ruff was talking about that this year? He needs to make them watch this Edmonton game over and over all summer long. Except Benson, he already gets it.

Anyone getting "repeat of 2024" vibes, yet?

Henrique is a guy I wanted the Sabres to acquire several times.  He is still going after 35 years. 

Me too.

Who had Stuart Skinner shutting out VGK on their playoff bingo card?

[Demoted]

So excited for the next Panthers/Leafs game. They are going to be beating the ***** out of each other. Should be an exciting game.

The Knights were done as soon as they lost both games 1 and 2, they got lucky in game 3 but all they did was delay the inevitable! It’s too much to ask any team to win 4 of the next 5 with 3 of them on the road.

Looking that way. It just shows you how hard it actually is to move up. The same top teams are still the same teams.

Bet they don't. Florida are masters of getting in your head and then doing the opposite. Really good at walking away after instigating and not retaliating. Refs coudl decide it though. Hope they don't.

I really thought they were gonna come back and take it with Pickard hurt and Skinner in net. He's been atrocious. But, nope...shutout LOL

Not looking good.   Team doing him no favors.

Why did we get rid of Boosh?

Hellebuyck allowed at least three goals for the ninth time in 11 playoff games this year, the 18th time in 21 games including the previous two postseasons.

Same reason we got rid of Montour, Scandella, and soon to be Byram. KA thinks Samuelsson is better.

So he could have a chance at playing in the playoffs.

Not the issue yesterday 

[SabresBillsFan]

Hellebuyck = Clayton Kershaw 

Great regular season and when the playoffs are here he fails big time.

[Thorny]

Jets have 8 goals in their last 5 road playoffs games. Issues are well beyond Hellebuyck, who played well yesterday

He is not a good playoff goalie. They showed a stat that he had allowed the first shot in in like 4 of his previous 5 games. That's nuts.

Sadly, believe @SwampD nailed it.

 Barkov just stick checked Domi right in the face, under the visor.   Nice.

Boom! Samson with an 🍎

[Pimlach]

Eckblad has turned into a great pick in 2014 as 1OA.  Florida added Reinhart and Bennett to their roster from the same draft. 

These guys are 29, they will be around awhile.

The Leafs are trying to match the physical game the Panthers bring which is not the kind of game that got the Leafs into the playoffs.
