NHL 2026 Playoffs

[Pigskin]

So far, I have been happy with most of the games. Refs letting a lot of interference go on the dump and chase.

[blue_gold_84]

Penguins already on the ropes; wouldn't be shocking to see them get swept. Two big road wins for the Stars and Ducks last night, too.

[Pigskin]

Flyer are looking very good. Lot's good young players.

[Pigskin]

I really like the look of the Ducks, Flyer, and Habs. All three teams have a bunch of very talented players. But, I don't know if Montreal has the goaltending.

[blue_gold_84]

Wouldn't be surprised if the Sens get swept. Ullmark getting hung out to dry.

[Pigskin]

Ottawa is done. Slick Nic out with a lower body injury.

[blue_gold_84]

Senators' F Greig to have phone hearing for roughing Canes' F Walker in Game 4

[Pigskin]

Looks like LA is done.

[Pigskin]

Bruins down 3-1 go back to Buffalo. Sabers are looking rock solid. 

[blue_gold_84]

Looks like LA is done.

Never had a chance vs. the Avs.

[Pigskin]

As much as I believe the OT goal in Ducks/Oilers game was a goal. Just don't know how the ref calls it a goal on the ice.

[JockitchwithRich]

Embarrassing how the ref in that end doesn't make a hand signal, yet at center ice gestures a goal

Yes the cameras show that it was across but hey ..... NHL better pow wow with this bad example 

[blue_gold_84]

Pens force game 6. Knights tie up the series.

Pretty good first round so far.

[Pigskin]

Yes, some very entertaining hockey.

[blue_gold_84]

Bruins and Oiler stay alive.

Big win for the Wild who can clinch at home tomorrow.

[Pigskin]

That was a big upset win for Boston.

[Pigskin]

1-0, OT win for the Flyers. That's some old school hockey.

Montreal win a hard fought road win to go up 3-2.

[Pigskin]

Stars and Oilers are done.

[Pigskin]

Knights and Sabers advance to the 2nd. round.

[JockitchwithRich]

Well done Sabres. Their terrific regular season has not made them blink but rather charge on. This should be an another confidence builder.
The Utes gave a decent try but alas could not get the surprise results that the Ducks achieved

[DCM]

Tampa forcing game seven as expected.

Undefeated in games six and seven in round one. Here's hoping the streak lives tomorrow.

[Pigskin]

Carolina totally dominated game #1.

[DCM]

Wholesale changes need to come to Tampa... get a good return for Kucherov would be a start... and never bringing Perry back to Tampa... smh. Such a stupid trade by JBB. Curse Perry. Smh.

[Pigskin]

Tampa forcing game seven as expected.

Undefeated in games six and seven in round one. Here's hoping the streak lives tomorrow.

First time for everything. Bolts are done.

[blue_gold_84]

A fluky goal is sometimes all it takes. BUF/MTL should be a fun series.

Crazy opening game between the Avs and Wild.

A fluky goal is sometimes all it takes. BUF/MTL should be a fun series.

Crazy opening game between the Avs and Wild.

MTL - 9 shots, Win

AVS - 9 goals, Win

[JockitchwithRich]

WOW ——- tremendous entertainment in both games

The Bolts get robbed by Dobes and 2 flukey goals but that's the beauty of sports.  Happy for the Habs and fans

Do the Wild go to Gustafson and do the Avs turn to Blackwood

[blue_gold_84]

Flyers blow a 2-0 lead and lose in OT. Ducks looked pretty meh in game 1.

[Pigskin]

Greig gets 2 games for his sucker punch.

[JockitchwithRich]

Wild change their goalie, Gustafson in, for tonight
Gus is very good so this shouldn't create issues

[Pigskin]

Flyer could go in 4 straight.

[Pigskin]

Montreal with a big road win. Vegas put the boots to the Ducks. MM93 was on fire last night. Needed that in the Olympics.
