I guess I'm not surprised that the Avs are up 3-0 on the Kings. the kings can't score goals. but in the games I've watched the Kings are really taking it to the Avs in the physical aspect. Necas is taking some huge hits in that series.
The Avs are the best team in hockey IMO Lorenzo. Not that I watch a ton of them, but what I've seen impresses me greatly.

I agree. I think the stars have a shot to knock them off though. they did last year and both teams have improved from that point onward. Dallas probably would need Roope Hintz back though to have 2 power play units. that could be an edge that they would have over Colorado and it was a decisive factor last year. 5 on 5 Colorado is probably better, but Dallas also has good depth and is not afraid to roll 4 lines. Historically the Avs put a lot of pressure on their top lines and they fade in the series vs. Dallas head to head. AVS did improve by getting Kadri back.

It’s do or die today for the Penguins and they’re changing it up in net starting Artūrs Šilovs for Game 4.

The 25 year old won the 2025 AHL Playoff MVP with a .931 and appeared in the 2024 Playoffs with the Canucks.

Stars with a tough loss. probably the best hockey they've played in the series today but didn't score enough. to be fair the wild probably thought they could have won the last game.

It's a freaking white out in Utah and these idiot Utah fans wore their dark jerseys like 50%

I saw someone say that if we get the Coyotes reborn, instead of a whiteout, we should do a "sandstorm" or something like that. Might be unpopular opinion, but I tend to agree. The whiteout was a holdover from the Jets. Let's make something new.

Also, what a heckuva play from Josh on Buffalo's third goal! Sabres moving on!

Wild deserved it. It's crazy how close dallas was to taking a 3-1 lead. they completely folded after game 4. to be fair they didn't look like themselves at any point in this series. they look like a team that has played a lot of hockey over the last 3 years and a bunch of guys are banged up. I just heard that Rantenen was playing with a knee brace and that Heiskenan would not have played if it were reg season. and one of their top 4 defenseman took a skate to the face in game 4. I think the Jamie Benn era needs to come to an end. I just hope he ends on good terms.
