Full Press NHL Podcast: Pressure in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Jim Biringer is back with the Full Press NHL Podcast, joined by Ryan Paton of Sirius XM NHL Network Radio and Pucks in 7, as they discuss the Toronto Maple Leafs and whether they can finally get it done in the playoffs. In addition, they go around the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Topics discussed in this episode are:
- The Toronto Maple Leafs must show heart, soul, and effort in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, especially in the big moments and the biggest games of their careers. Who can they lead on? What has to change for this group to get over the hump?
The Florida Panthers are the defending Stanley Cup Champions for a reason. They know how to play within their structure and have the history to prove it.
- The Edmonton Oilers are no longer a two-man show with Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid leading the way. Edmonton is back in the Western Conference Final, and they are doing it with depth scoring and depth on defence, which many thought they didn’t have entering the playoffs.
- The Winnipeg Jets must show they can find themselves at home on the road if they want to keep their season alive. Everyone, including Connor Hellebuyck, has to step up because they are not a one-trick pony, and all they can do is win on home ice.
- The Dallas Stars have a playoff performer in Mikko Rantanen, but they are playing a balanced game.
- Like other teams, the Carolina Hurricanes tried to trade for Rantanen, but they have a playoff game-breaker and goal scorer in Andrei Svechnikov, who has been overlooked for years.
Plus, more great hockey talk.
