This second round has been incredible so far, playoff hockey is just brilliant! 

Jets v Preds you just don’t know how many goals they will score.

Caps v Pens is hard edged, really hope the Caps can get over the top this time around.

    Well done Nathan Walker. The first Australian player in the NHL to register a point in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Assisted in Washington’s first goal in game 6 against the Pens.

    Caps and Bolts to Game 7 ! 

    Would be nice if Ovi got the cup, thought the Caps were cooked after last year.

    And it's now Vegas vs Washington in the final.  The absolute newcomer vs the team that has often exited early in the playoffs. 

    An unlikely match-up but here we are. 

    Game 1 is next Tuesday 10am and then Thursday 10am for game 2 with game 3 on Sunday week at 10am.  AEST. 

    Really looking forward to this final and the bookies have installed Vegas as $1.60 favourites.  I reckon it's line-ball but I'm leaning towards the Caps.

    It’s been awhile..... Avs wowee! They are such an exciting team at the minute, especially if we can get back to full strength. Top 2 keepers and 2 of our 4 best players out (Maker is in that top 4 already :) ).

    The last 2 years I’ve really fallen down a hockey rabbit hole and I love it. I listen to 5 hockey based podcasts every week, a couple of those post new episodes twice a week so it can be hard to keep up but fascinating, especially the fan based ones. The analysis they go into is incredible compared to Aussie based sports fans let alone media.

    @Cards13 the new NHL playoff format is up and running . Good luck to your Avs, hope you smash the Blues. 

    Nice waking up to a Blackhawks win this morning. Playoff hockey won’t be the same without crowds but at least it’s another interest in this difficult year. 

    @Macca any tips ?

    DZ.... what a win by the ‘Hawks, very interesting series coming up against the 2 headed monster.

    The play ins are not of that much interest but getting going early will be a good sign for the Avs. I think Vegas with the addition of Lehner will tip them over the top, they look really good and adding a guy of that quality in net, wow.

    I read somewhere that the NBA have instigated 'virtual' spectators DZ but I haven't seen any vision yet.  Worked well apparently.  Maybe Ice Hockey can go the same way!

    No tips but in other news a TAB account (for those who have one) are showing all(?) NBA & MLB games live on their app (free) ... not sure about the NHL & NFL.

    I'm more of a neutral with the Ice Hockey but I do like the match-ups between the long established teams (Montreal,  Toronto,  Boston,  Rangers,  Chicago,  Detroit & Pittsburgh.

    Nashville losing made me sad. 
    I did a multi with KC chiefs into the blues what seems like 8 years ago so if Nashville don’t win I hope the blues do.

    Can we just go to Western Conf finals of Vegas vs Avs. How good would a 7 game series of this 2 be. Begs look like the best team in hockey right now, so much scoring depth and a legit top goaltender and what a number 2 in Fluery.

    Hawks might have a say in that Cards ?. Looking forward to our series starting a little later. We have some top liners with a wealth of playoff experience, is that enough to see us through? Not sure. I think our key is Crawford, needs to have a huge series. Our problem wasn’t scoring during the regular season, allowing a lot of shots on goal against was. 

    We got the mix right against the Oilers but new ball game now.

    Yeah insane, listening to the game through Blue Jackets radio. Lol, over 130 shots on goal so far not including the wide of net shots. Was hoping to catch Hawks game before work, looks like I’ll be recording and watching very late tonight.

    Lol I listened to that for the last of the Leafs play in game, was great. Suck it Leafs.

    Good luck Hawks. Going to be tough, Vegas look like finalists to me.

    I'd forgotten about the playoff tips DZ ... to be honest I'm just catching up with the overseas sports.

    I see Vancouver made the playoffs ... my cousin lives there and is a big fan.  So I lean towards them a bit but not with any great passion.  They might reach the last 8 with a bit of luck.

    But the last 8 will see some excellent match-ups anyway.  Islanders,  Vegas,  Avs & Bruins are almost certainly going to feature.  Tampa as well by the looks of it.

    Tamp v Bruins is going to be incredible hopefully. 
    Avs couldn’t keep the puck out in game one, even with Mackinnon being incredible! That first goal, holy shot!
     

    Knights will win the cup I think, they look really good, even with “Flowers” agent trying to throw a spanner or sword into the  works.

    Dallas played well to there strengths and got better goal tending, Avs too many big time injuries. 
     

    It will be a good series but Vegas should get up in the west and it will be Tampa whoever wins out of the Flyers v Islanders. Trotz, what a coach.

    What a strange season it’s been with multiple team covid outbreaks and shut downs, Dallas having a winter weather disaster shutdown and now teams offer fans free tickets to get vaccinated and looking to open up to as many fans as possible… and the finals starting while the Canucks are still finishing the regular season in the most meaningless way I think ever seen a season end in any sport.

    Some of the match ups early look amazing across all divisions. Whoever plays the Wild, the battle of Floria, Wash v Boston (Chara back to face his old team with Wilson….) and Leafs v Habs just from a historical perspective (Leafs a chance to sweep them).

    The Avs, if Grub can stay healthy are a chance to go all the way if they can get over Vegas and the punishment they dish out.

    The NHL Finals start on Sunday at 10.00am between the Panthers & Oilers (best of 7)

    Foxtel/Kayo are covering the games but picking up an audio broadcast of the games shouldn't be too hard a task

    Interesting that Florida has never won the Stanley Cup whilst Edmonton has won the Stanley Cup 5 times 

    Players to look out for ... Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Sam Reinhart, Matthew Tkachuk, Evan Bouchard, Aleksandr Barkov & Zach Hyman

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
