NHL 2026 Playoff Thread

I hope we face Buffalo, can't stand that Montreal team flopping all over the ice trying to draw penalties, and we won't have the obnoxious fans with that stupid Olay chant.

I’m a little worried about the Canes time off. Game 1 will be 12 days since they last played. Completely idiotic for the NHL to have CAR-PHI play two games before BUF-MTL even played one.
 

I get CAR blazed through the first round, but the League has got to do a better job of forecasting the schedule so teams don’t have almost two weeks off between games.

I get it but the league can’t plan for the canes dragging their gigantic balls to a double sweep…

What is Freddy's biggest weakness, long playoff rounds 

But this year, he has gotten long breaks between series 

Feels like the stars are aligning, Rod just needs to have a coach Bombay skate till I say stop practice to keep the rest of the guys from getting rusty
