2025-26 NHL Playoff Thread: No More BuffLMAO

[Outlaw]

My hopes about giving a damn about the playoffs are fading fast.

When they got Myers I was like have fun with the chaos giraffe that can’t skate.

[Obsidian]

That one cannot go in Ingram, lol

[Sepukku]

The overturned kicking goal and the snipe by terry appears to be a fatal dagger

[Wulfgang]

COL-MIN gonna be a hell of a series

I think the Avs drop them pretty quickly.

And rip Oilers; looking like toast here.

[Sepukku]

I cannot envision a world where mcdavid stays with the oilers past his current extension

[Obsidian]

Worth pointing out his current extension doesn't kick in until next season, so it's two seasons after this one.

[Obsidian]

And there's the first blip on the heart monitor after flatlining.

Dunno how Stan Bowman can keep his job after this lol.

[DFJS]

Don't understand why they went back to Ingram after Jarey played a good game for them last game. Considering how bad the Ducks played in final 10 games I thought we would be toast.

[Bombur]

Interesting off season for Oils. They will probably try to keep Murphy, and probably Dickinson replacing Henrique who's just old and injured.

I also think Knoblauch is gone.

Knob is gone for sure. Drai called him out months ago too.
This summer will be interesting for sure. To find a glimmer of hope, I can at least go golfing after work and not have to try and book tee times around game nights lol

Who would’ve guessed building a team around trying to appease Connor wouldn’t work? (Hiring his agent, his jr coach, bringing in his jr teammates and giving his boy Darnell way too much, setting the precedent to keep overpaying going) His extension is team friendly, especially with cap increase, but also makes it tradeable for the same reason. They have next year to do something or he’s dealt 100%

[Salodin]

Aww, poor McDavid. This was supposed to be his year too now that the Cats are too injured to prevent his championship again

idk how you can keep Bowman. He's fucking awful. The Jarry-Skinner trade is indefensible. Wouldnt be surprised if Knobs is gone.

Jarry needs to go and Nurse is paid way too much but idk how you could possibly get rid of those contracts

[Richybear]

Plus we're paying Jack Campbell til 2030 from his buyout lol

They need absolutely fresh blood in the room from a coaching and GM standpoint. Not an ex-Oiler from the good ol' days, not McDavid's math tutor from elementary school. But they won't. They'll probably extend Knobs for 37 years, then bring in Andy Moog as some executive advisor to the GM, while hiring Jason Arnott to run the PK.

Gotta be Muse or Ruff, Cooper is a distant 3rd I'd think

[Cail]

its wild that Cooper has never won the Jack Adams, but this aint his year for sure...kinda surprised Quenville didnt get a top 3
