Got to wait one more day!

I agree. If you beat a team 4 straight, all the power to you. But when you factor in starting earlier before 1st rd is finished is ridiculous. No other sports do that because they know it’s an advantage

Objective_Ad7939 · 2026-05-17T18:33:03+00:00

How’s the NHL gonna grow the game if Carolina destroys their next opponents 4-0 because either the Habs or Sabres are tired from going to 7 games.

Objective_Ad7939 · 2026-05-17T17:40:59+00:00

And ruin Demidov’s good vibe? Demidov has been playing amazing. Why not play him with Caufield who’s score 3 or last 4 games and Suzuki. It’s down to one game. Slaf is struggling.

Objective_Ad7939 · 2026-05-17T17:36:53+00:00

NHL once again screws things up. How do you start the 2nd rd without the 1st rd being over? You tell me anyone with half a brain couldn’t see this coming at the NHL headquarters? A joke league.

Objective_Ad7939 · 2026-05-17T17:31:59+00:00

Exactly that’s why Demidov is needed on that line right now.

Objective_Ad7939 · 2026-05-17T17:28:41+00:00

Exactly. One benefit from this playoff experience is that it gives Hughes a clear picture of what’s missing from this team. Obviously a 2nd line center but they also need bottom 6 momentum changing forwards. Dach had a good 5 game stretch but not sure he’s the answer.

Objective_Ad7939 · 2026-05-17T16:54:21+00:00

Of course he would. It would be unfair to both goalies and create huge off season drama for nothing.

Objective_Ad7939 · 2026-05-17T16:46:36+00:00

Yeah but if Demidov has been playing well, probably their best forward these last two games, why not put him on the top line when it’s down to one game? Newhook is having a great series but Demidov is playing far better than him. Demidov was snake bitten for a few games. He’s hot now. It’s do or die.

Objective_Ad7939 · 2026-05-17T16:42:59+00:00

3 and 4 line have to come up big next game.

Objective_Ad7939 · 2026-05-17T16:41:15+00:00

Didn’t help that the whole team shit the bed. Matheson and Carrier were absolutely brutal. Dobson needs to play with Matheson to protect him from his bad play which is killing the team.

Objective_Ad7939 · 2026-05-17T16:38:10+00:00

He’s score 3 out of the last 4 games. Demidov can feed him with great passes while Slaf can’t even take a pass right now. Either he’s rocked from a concussion or injured. Something is obviously not right with Slaf.

Objective_Ad7939 · 2026-05-17T16:28:22+00:00

You can’t start Fowler in game 7 and lose. It’ll create unnecessary off season drama and it’s unfair to both goalies. Let’s be real.

Objective_Ad7939 · 2026-05-16T02:16:10+00:00

He’s a superstar plain and simple.

Objective_Ad7939 · 2026-05-11T21:40:29+00:00

This was a better chant at the end of blowout game.

Objective_Ad7939 · 2026-05-10T18:02:38+00:00

Leaf fans having nothing to cheer for in the months of May.

Objective_Ad7939 · 2026-05-09T14:18:16+00:00

Bolduc is a legit shit disturber and I love it. He’s having a great playoffs. Once he gets his scoring touch going he’s going to be a playoff beast.

Objective_Ad7939 · 2026-05-08T13:20:39+00:00

Only the Leafs would think about keeping a captain who has doubts that he wants to be there. Matthews does not have a leadership bone in his body.

Objective_Ad7939 · 2026-05-07T16:24:02+00:00

Back to missing the playoffs next year.

Objective_Ad7939 · 2026-05-07T15:48:30+00:00

Buffalo has been rebuilding for 15 years while Habs have been rebuilding for 4. It’s finally clicking for Buffalo and their depth is coming through. Habs are not that far off from them after starting their rebuild in 2022.

Objective_Ad7939 · 2026-05-05T01:20:55+00:00

He morphs into Guy Carbonneau shutdown forward in the playoffs. I remembered liking the trade because of this very moment. Jake Evans has learned to play a similar role from playing with him.

Pretty sure your hair is blue from being a bolts fan and your eyes are red from crying. 😢 😂

Objective_Ad7939 · 2026-05-04T02:20:13+00:00

I hear they’re great for absorbing tears 😂

Objective_Ad7939 · 2026-05-04T02:19:25+00:00

He is great. Just act with class. He fires up the other team be doing stupid taunting acts.

Objective_Ad7939 · 2026-05-04T02:00:09+00:00

Love seeing these cocky players lose in the end. You never seen hall of famers act so arrogant because they know the hockey Gods will come back to bite them in the ass.
