The playoffs are already delivering chaos. The Buffalo Sabres storm back in Game 1 with three goals in just over four minutes, erasing a 2–0 deficit in an absolutely electric finish—because of course, it’s playoff Tage. We break down a wild opening night that saw the Minnesota Wild, Philadelphia Flyers, and Montreal Canadiens all steal road wins to kick off their series. And yes… we need to talk about Juraj Slafkovsky. How good is this guy right now?

from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,- Two years from now, Auston Matthews’ contract is up with the Maple Leafs, as is Connor McDavid’s with the Oilers. And if Matthews doesn’t have a Stanley Cup after 12 seasons and McDavid doesn’t have one after 13, can’t you just see the two close friends, with the same agent, winding up on the same team in free agency? NBA-style super-team free agency … Gary Bettman can preach all he wants about the greatness of the Stanley Cup playoffs, but when two of the three best teams in the Western Conference will be eliminated in the first two rounds, the system seems patently unfair.- The legend, Harry Sinden, used to contend that the team that was the strongest over the final 20 games of the regular season will win the Stanley Cup.
