Congrats to the Loafs for forcing a 5th game in the qualifying round.
I don’t know about anyone else, but it just feels weird to consider the qualifying round as “playoffs”. Same way I don’t consider the NL/AL “wild card play-in” as a playoff game.

An elimination game where your season is on the line? To me that's playoffs.
It's that round robin shit that I have trouble accepting as playoff hockey.

Oilers would be smart to throw a nice contract at Crow in the offseason. They need some pedigree in the net plus it prevents Stan from overpaying Corey.

They also need more than a goalie clearly.

Total epic collapse by jackets. Leafs know how it feels from blowing late lead vs. Bruins every playoff series.

Hawks - Knights, the REAL round one.
Knights clear favourites, but with everything that's going on, it's really a crapshoot.
Game 1 will be the first real game the Knights have to play in these playoffs. Hawks could be the more ready team. Need to win that one.
Then when the Knights start to slowly figure things out, the Hawks would already have a game or two.
Lines from yesterday's game:
Stephenson - Karlsson - Stone Marchessault - Stastny - Smith Cousins - Roy - Tuch Carrier - Nosek - Reaves
McNabb - Schmidt Martinez - Theodore Holden - Whitecloud
Lehner Fleury
Alec "2014" Martinez. We meet again.
Pacioretty is injured and may or may not join the team at some point.
That's a heavy team, but it's definitely beatable. They are a high workrate team, so anybody who won't put in the effort on the Hawks side is fucked.

If the Loafs ever needed incentive to win tonight, this is it. Winner of them and Columbus gets Tampa next, so not only do they avoid Boston (not that they're playing good right now at all, but you know...), the Bolts are down two big stars.
I expect shenanigans by the refs to get Toronto in the next round, Sportsnet is already dying without McJesus and Sid. The crying wil exponentially increase if the Loafs lose too, and the league doesn't want to deal with it I'm sure.

The Bolts must feel the same way about it.
They're watching the game in a fetal position, hoping they don't have to face the Jackets a second year in a row.
