Hurricanes in round two

East is set. Wonder when they will set the schedules? Maybe after seeing if tonight matchup goes to game seven?

Usually the NHL waits until one round is entirely complete before starting another (unlike the NBA, which will sometimes go ahead with the next round). We know there is a Game 7 tomorrow night (Colorado at Dallas), so nothing will start before Sunday at the earliest. I kind of tend to suspect that if—and it's a big if—any second-round series start on Sunday, the Toronto–Florida series is likely to do so because I'm sure Canadian TV would want Toronto on the weekend.

If the Jets don't win tonight, they'll host St. Louis in Game 7 on Sunday at 7:00. In that case, I'd assume the second round would likely start Monday, but who knows which series would start when.

Per a Caps press release, the second-round schedule will be announced tonight after the end of the Blues game. Makes sense, I suppose—they presumably have two schedules drawn up, depending on whether the Jets–Blues series goes seven games, and tonight's game will tell them which one they need to use.

I was right for once.

Game one is set for Tuesday. Leafs and Panthers start Monday.

Oshie and Backstrom were on the latest Zimm-Kolko podcast. Lots of stories about the 2018 cup celebrations

Here is a link with the round two schedule.

1-0 Caps late in the second...

AA high slot turnover turns out like you have to expect it

Natsinpwc · « **Reply #616 on:** May 06, 2025, 10:12:01 pm »

Poor effort.

Slateman · « **Reply #617 on:** May 07, 2025, 07:06:24 am »

Coaches need to make an adjustment. Can't have this great a disparity in shots on goal.

Top to bottom Carolina is a more talented team. They don’t put as much focus on the regular season because they know it’s all how far they go post season. The one place the Caps probably have an edge if goaltending. Almost stole a game last night because of that.

I heard some say that Montreal was good preparation because of the pace they play but it’s no comparison. The coaches may be able to adjust how they break out of the zone as what they were doing last night was not working. Unfortunately against a talented team like this might have to just dump pucks out to center ice sometimes. And hope they can create some breaks out of Carolina offensive miscues.

Quite the DC sports night last night. Caps playoff game, two Nats games, and a DC United game—all of them at home. Too bad OldChelsea couldn't be around for that.

Leonard out tonight. Raddysh back in.

Do the Caps understand that it's OK to play in the Canes zone?

They would have to get out of their own zone first.

Caps defense looks like they are passing a hand grenade instead of a puck.

Slateman · « **Reply #624 on:** May 08, 2025, 07:43:02 pm »

You would think this was soccer given how many passes the Caps are putting on skates instead of pucks
