Calling all playoff teams!!!

This post is for any fans of teams who will be in the playoffs, or teams who still may get in. Florida, Pittsburgh, Winnipeg, Calgary. I'm excluding Nashville and anyone else in the east because I don't think they have any real shot of getting in, and if they did, I think they'd be one and done.

I'm going to be doing a playoff preview/prediction post that is equivalent to a novel. I have to wait until matchups are determined before I post.

I would really appreciate feedback for this.

I only want to hear factual things. Don't bother responding and giving comments about teams that you know nothing about or hardly watch and don't truly know their game.

If you have the time or inclination, I would like the three biggest factors for _____ teams success in a series/playoffs. Example- Having an effective powerplay, not letting a game turn into a track meet, locking down star xyz on the opposing team, an individual players role in the series, goaltending, penalties, 5v5 play, coaching, home ice, etc.

I also would like 3 factors that would lead to the downfall of ______ team in a series/the playoffs. For example- taking bad or too many penalties, letting games become too high scoring, playing against a team that is too physical for them to handle, letting star xyz walk all over you and put up great numbers, etc.

It obviously can be something other than I listed. You guys know your own teams better than casual fans. It doesn't have to be 3 of each. It could just be anything you could add and tell me about your team that could give me a deeper understanding of said squad heading in to the playoffs.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated and I will tag everyone who helped out in the process.

Thanks for reading.


Biggest factors to success: Speed (not many teams can keep up with the Devils, Deep forward and defense core (3 scoring lines and 5 dmen that can play 20+ mins a night),
Biggest factors to downfalls: Goaltending (Not as good as Shesterkin, Vasy, etc), Young (not as much playoff experience as other teams like Boston, Tampa)

The fact the LAK paid nothing to move Quick and upgraded their goaltending is a HOW moment

As if I was CBJ GM I would have said to Kings GM gimmie another 3rd to take Quick as 5.8mill aint cheap

At least CBJ got a 7th for him


The issue comes next year as Pete probs gonna come back and I believe it gives LA little room to extend Korpisalo

BUF has a stud.

Levi stopping 32 of 34 shots in his NHL debut. According to Moneypuck, he had a 1.5 GSAA, as the ice was tilted in the Rangers favour. He faced 22 shots in the third period alone.

How can a line lose chemistry


Ovi Kuznetsov Wilson was our best line for like 4 years. Suddenly they don’t click and then line changes. How does that happen

All 5 teams that can clinch a playoff spot today. Philadelphia can also be mathematically eliminated

Canucks give up a 1st & a 2nd for an IR R-DMan in Hronek making $4.4MIL per (RFA after next season) & then shut-him-down for the season after 4-VAN games.

WTF is Nashville doing?. Get this close even though they should be nowhere near the playoff line. Their next 7 games are- Dallas, Vegas, Carolina, Winnipeg, Calgary, Minnesota and Colorado. This looks like their last win of the season lol

Those 2 games against teams directly above them a huge pivot with this few games left……..technically they control their own destiny…

Not unheard of for Saros to carry….

What a win for Nashville if they sneak in.

What a disaster for whomever falls out.
