david52+FollowDid Ghost Aim for the Rat? Playoff Drama!Last night’s Panthers-Hurricanes game gave us classic playoff chaos when Shayne “Ghost” Gostisbehere appeared to fire a puck right at Brad “the Rat” Marchand. Let’s be real—Marchand’s pest game is legendary, and it’s wild this doesn’t happen more often. Ghost’s shot looked intentional, and honestly, who can blame him? The Panthers are already in Carolina’s heads, and with the Canes dropping their 13th straight conference final, this rivalry is heating up fast. #NHLPlayoffs #Marchand #Panthers #Hurricanes #HockeyRivalry #Sports01Share
Bryce Clark+FollowDid Ekblad Cross the Line in Game 1?That Panthers-Canes opener was wild, but Ekblad’s elbow on Jackson Blake is what everyone’s talking about. No penalty on the play, even though Blake just scored and got rocked right after. Some fans say this isn’t Ekblad’s first questionable hit this postseason—should the refs have stepped in? Plus, Svechnikov had his own run-in with Bobrovsky. Is this series about to get even nastier? #NHLPlayoffs #Panthers #Hurricanes #Ekblad #HockeyTalk #Sports03Share
Molly Tucker+FollowGretzky Cheers Stars—Oilers Fans React!Did anyone else catch The Great One in the Stars’ locker room after their big win over the Jets? Gretzky congratulated Dallas on making the Western Conference Finals, but with the Stars now set to face his old squad, the Oilers, fans are buzzing. Some Stars players even joked about who he’ll root for next. With last year’s playoff rematch on deck, Gretzky’s surprise move has both fanbases talking! #NHLPlayoffs #DallasStars #EdmontonOilers #Gretzky #Hockey #Sports00Share
Molly Tucker+FollowStolarz Speaks Out: Was Bennett’s Elbow Dirty?Leafs Nation, what do you make of Stolarz finally clearing the air on his concussion? He says it was definitely Sam Bennett’s elbow—not that earlier shot to the mask—that knocked him out of the series. No shade thrown at Bennett, but fans are still split: was it just playoff intensity, or did the Panthers cross a line? Either way, losing our starter in Game 1 stings, especially after another tough Game 7 exit. Let’s hear your takes on the Bennett-Stolarz incident! #LeafsNation #Stolarz #NHLPlayoffs #Panthers #HockeyTalk #Sports01Share
Bryce Clark+FollowJets Shutout Sets Up Do-or-Die in DallasWhat a statement by the Jets! After being written off, Winnipeg blanked the Stars in Game 5, with Hellebuyck standing on his head. Now it’s back to Dallas for Game 6—can the Stars finally close it out at home, or will the Jets break their road curse? The rivalry’s heating up, and with the league moving puck drop to Saturday night, all eyes are on whether Hellebuyck can steal another one. Who’s your pick to advance? #NHLPlayoffs #GoJetsGo #TexasHockey #Hellebuyck #StarsVsJets #Sports10Share
Phillip Scott+FollowLeafs Jersey Toss: End of the Core Four Era?Is this the breaking point for Leafs Nation? After the Cats ran wild in Game 5, frustrated fans tossed jerseys—one with Papi’s (Auston Matthews) name—onto the ice. With the Panthers now up 3-2, Toronto’s Core Four era could be on its last legs. If Marner or JT walk this summer, is it time for a full reset? Or do you still believe this group can get it done? #LeafsNation #NHLPlayoffs #CoreFour #Panthers #Sports00Share
Phillip Scott+FollowMarner Shrugs Off Kulikov Elbow DramaLeafs Nation, what do you make of Marner’s cool response after Kulikov’s elbow in Game 4? While Coach Berube called the hit '10 times worse' than Domi’s, the NHL let Kulikov off with no discipline. Marner just brushed it off, saying, 'It’s hockey... stuff happens fast.' With the series tied and the Panthers bringing the heat, is the league’s call fueling this rivalry even more? Let’s hear your takes before Game 5! #LeafsForever #NHLPlayoffs #Marner #Panthers #HockeyTalk #Sports00Share
stacy28+FollowBarkov Shrugs Off Domi’s HitDid anyone else catch Barkov’s ice-cold response after Domi’s late-game cheap shot? “I didn’t see it,” he said, totally unfazed. With the Panthers and Leafs already trading barbs—Tkachuk even calling out Nylander—Game 5 is shaping up to be a war. Domi only got a fine, no suspension, so expect fireworks. Are the Cats ready to answer back, or will Toronto use this as fuel? #NHLPlayoffs #LeafsNation #TimeToHunt #Barkov #MaxDomi #Sports00Share
Phillip Scott+FollowPanthers Exec Suspended Amid Leafs RivalryWild twist in the Cats vs. Leafs playoff saga: Panthers co-owner Douglas Cifu has been suspended indefinitely by the NHL after a heated social media exchange with a Leafs fan. Just as the series hits a 2-2 deadlock, Cifu’s controversial comments—targeting both Toronto and Canada—have added serious off-ice drama. With Game 5 looming, will this distraction fire up the Leafs Nation or rally the Cats’ faithful? Let’s hear your takes on how this impacts the rivalry! #NHLPlayoffs #Panthers #Leafs #HockeyDrama #StanleyCup #Sports00Share
Bryce Clark+FollowPanthers Exec Benched After Twitter ClashWow, the Cats-Leafs rivalry just got even spicier off the ice! Panthers’ vice chairman Doug Cifu has been suspended indefinitely after firing off a vulgar tweet at a Maple Leafs fan who trolled him post-Game 4. With the series tied and tempers already flaring (thanks to Domi’s late-game antics), this front-office drama adds a wild twist. Curious to see how this impacts the locker room, especially with so many Canadian Panthers. Thoughts on the NHL’s call here? #NHLPlayoffs #Panthers #Leafs #HockeyDrama #StanleyCup #Sports00Share
