2025-2026 NHL Offseason

F Me In The Brain

They are going to make it....but there is a reason I loaded up with a bet on the Preds. 
I have a tough time imagining any team in the West beating the Preds.  
I know that anything can happen....but when you watch they just look so much better.

Also...if Muzzin is out heading into the playoffs that is a huge, huge, loss for Los Reyes.  Messes up the pairings.  He was having his best season.

Predators have it all.  The only way the get ousted is if they hit a ridiculously hot goalie AND Rinne plays average

Crosby had another one of those ridiculous goals again last night batting out of the air after it hit the post in OT
thats why he is the best player in league.

Dude could join the Pirates and probably be one of their best players!

Kings win another - and did you see that t emergency goalie played for chicago?

Jackets had zero hat tricks for almost all of the season and now have four within the last few weeks after PLD got one last. Watch out for this rookie he’s going to only get better.

Need a Wild win tonight to keep the Ducks at bay from the Kings spot. Then the Kings beat the Wild tomorrow.

I'm sure the total opposite will happen bc that's my luck.

Lets get it done tonight Jackets!  Take 2nd place from the Pens and get home ice in the first round.

I think the Eastern Conference playoffs are set after tonight.  Philly wins and Florida loses.  Clinching playoff spots for Columbus, NJ, and Philly. Florida will be eliminated.

I agree about Florida getting eliminated, hoping the opposite as you for the Pens/Jackets game tonight.  Fun if not nerve-racking rivalry; would be an interesting playoff matchup.

i was really hoping to avoid the Pens in the first round this year but it seems inevitable at this point.

HOPEFULLY this is FINALLY the year that Columbus or Washington beats the living shit out of them.  I won't hold my breath.  History tells us facing those two teams is like an automatic trip to the ECF for Shittsburgh.

Pens are much more suspect now than they have been.  Not much depth, Murray has been hit or miss, and the Pens have been awful on the road.  I just hope if the Pens were to get bounced, it won't be by the Flyers.

My dream scenario would be the Jackets take care of the Pens in the first round and Philly or NJ takes care of the Capitals.

Not the outcome I was hoping for but Bluejackets still clinched a playoff spot. First back to back playoffs in franchise history.

It was a great game.  After seeing the Flyers and Devils win, I was pretty nervous about where the Pens would end up.  I think everyone in the East is about to experience a tough first round.

a bus carrying a junior team, the humboldt broncos was involved in a crash with a truck on their way to a playoff game.  really, really horrible
