NHL 2025 1st Round Playoff Predictions by 4 GDH Prognosticators – GINGER DONKEY HOCKEY
Two of the four Mystics correctly picked 7 of the 8 series. The other two Mystics picked 6 of 8 correctly.
In first place sits P Dunn, last years winner and B Mac who finished at the back of the pack last year. P Dunn has nothing to prove, but cannot sit back on his laurels. B Mac is a grinder and a scrapper with much to prove. He is digging deep into his psyche, remembering his hockey days when he once fought two opponents at one time and/or the incident where he hit an opponent so hard into the glass causing the glass to shatter. So watch out P.
P Dunn and B Mac made the same choices, correctly picking the Leafs, Panthers, Capitals, Hurricanes, Jets, Golden Knights, Oilers. Missed with the Avalanche as they were defeated by the Stars.
Sitting close behind are C Mac and D Mac. But, their goals remain lofty and they will not be intimidated.
C Mac correctly picked the Leafs, Capitals, Hurricanes, Jets, Knights and Oilers. Missed with TB Lightning as they were defeated by the Florida Panther and the Colorado Avalanche as they lost to the Dallas Stars.
D Mac correctly picked the Leafs, Capitals, Hurricanes, Jets, and Stars. Missed on the Minnesota Wild as they lost to the Vegas Golden Knights and the Los Angeles Kings as they lost to the Edmonton Oilers

Let’s Go… Keep your stick on the ice…most of the time!
Greetings. In introducing myself, I must relate that family is most important. I am a husband, father and grandfather. Beautiful extended family. I was born in the 60’s. Graduated from Laurentian University in Sudbury in 1985 with a degree in Social Work. Recently retired.
Sports has been and continues to be my foremost outlet for stress. I have been a coach/ trainer on over 40 youth teams, including hockey, baseball and soccer. Hockey is my number one sport. Began playing as a young child and continue to play several times per week. Huge Fan. I am not an expert per say when it comes to having close contacts to the hockey world. Still have expertise as a Fan. I have probably earned some form of “Hockey PTSD” over the years with the highs and lows of the cheering for the Leafs. I want to respectfully share my opinion and respectfully view your opinions. Should be fun. Keep your stick on the ice.
Take Care and Stay Safe.
